Wanderluxe by The Luxe Nomad

Her Instagram handle may sound provocative, but Nude Yoga Girl’s photos are anything but.
The anonymous blogger creates beautiful imagery of yoga poses (that are, yes, nude) in the most stunning and visually arresting scenery around the world.
After her recent stay on the Thai island of Koh Samui, we asked Nude Yoga Girl just how the concept came about, and whether she’s ever been walked in on while posing …
How did the @nudeyogagirl concept come about? 
I started my @nude_yogagirl account in November 2015.
I found a new way to express myself by bringing all of my passions together. Photography, yoga and writing.
It was just a spontaneous moment when I asked my boyfriend to help me try and take this kind of photos.
After seeing them I thought that, even if I was nude, the photos looked artistic. And that’s where it all started from …

I really love Ashtanga yoga at the moment. The more I practice it, the more I love it. A few years ago I thought Ashtanga is the least suitable yoga style for me. I wanted a variable and free practice, a calm and slow Yin or a creative Vinyasa flow. But nowadays it's the opposite. I think there are a few reasons... 1. I found a good teacher and a good place to learn. 2. I found Mysore style which suits me very well. (Mysore is a teacher-assisted, self-led approach to practicing yoga asanas) 3. I love that I have the same routine, same sequence to go through daily. My life is (very) chaotic... everyday is different and it's difficult to have routines. I love that I know my practice well, what I'm going to do next. 4. Ashtanga gives me a lot of challenges! Endless learning. I’ve already noticed I’m improving and it's an amazing feeling. Like this week when I was able to do something new it gave me so much energy. 5. Last but most important, the more familiar I become with my asana practice (which happens everytime) The more I can focus on my breathing. It's becoming also more meditative all the time. So never say never. I suggest to give a second opportunity to different yoga styles! What is your favorite at the moment? ️ My art inspiration account @nudeyogagirl_art

How does a typical nude yoga shoot go for you? 
Sometime I browse for pose inspiration online or sometimes I just go with the flow. Usually I warm up beforehand and then take photos with my boyfriend.
The only challenge [in Lapland] were all the mosquitoes and a wet swamp. But in the end we managed to take a few photos very quickly!

We started with black and white studio photos, and after a year we expanded to shooting outside and also in colour. Our next step is to go underwater more often. I’ve posted one black and white underwater photo so far.

Has anyone ever walked in on you during a shoot?
On a few occasions. We mainly photograph in completely private locations but sometimes if a location is very nice we try and take a few photos there very early in the morning. I’ve also written a blog post about it.

What’s the most challenging shoot location you’ve ever visited? 
Probably in Lapland. We were on this amazing tussock cotton grass field and the light was great. The only challenges were all the mosquitoes and a wet swamp. But in the end we managed to take a few photos very quickly.
Where would you like to shoot, if you didn’t have to worry about people? 
I’ve actually never thought about it in that way. As most of the locations I dream about are secluded and in nature. But it would be amazing to do a photo shoot [in Paris] in front of the Eiffel Tower.

You’ve said before “I think nude is the most natural way”. What are some of the challenges you’ve faced while pursuing your work as @nudeyogagirl, and how did you overcome them?
As I’m anonymous and nude, the biggest challenge is in the photography.
Sometimes a photo taken looks great, but if my most intimate parts are not hidden or my face shows a little bit too much, I’m unable to publish the photo on Instagram. But I really enjoy this challenge in the photography, too.

What’s your fitness routine like?
My main exercise is to practice yoga. In addition, I do some body weight workouts or go to the gym. I also like running. I don’t have any strict workout schedules, but I like to listen to my body and practice according to how I feel.

What’s your typical diet? 
I eat plant-based food. I love vegetables, nuts, rice and especially fruits.
I want to be flexible with what I eat: meat is the only thing that I don’t eat.
I always prefer unprocessed and local food. For me it’s very important to have the right balance in everything.

What do you love about the villas you stayed at in Koh Samui? Do you have a favourite spot in each villa? 
All the villas are very truly amazing and I loved them all. So comfortable and enjoyable to stay in!
I like the fact that they all have different characteristics. Great for photography.

I find it sometimes very difficult to just be in the moment without thinking about what’s coming next... to do lists, tasks, schedules. But mainly wondering if I’ve been or will be good enough in the things I do. Why can't I just live in the moment and enjoy?! On our photography trip in Koh Samui I felt I was able to achieve it! I was much more at peace even if we were quite busy... I want to challange myself to not stress or worried about anything that is about to come also here at home. Concentrate more on the now! JUST NOW! ️ Photo taken at the amazing hillside villa @villablueview / @theluxenomad / @lvh_villas #villablueview #theluxenomad #luxuryvillasandhomes

Why did Meghan Young reject law to be an Instagram influencer?
I particularly loved the infinity pool at Villa Blue View. The ocean view from the hillside was one to remember. Plus, the beachside pool at Baan Kilee and the interior decor in the bedrooms.
It was just a spontaneous moment ... after seeing [the pictures] I thought that, even if I was nude, the photos looked artistic. And that’s where it all started from

This pose takes my mind to so many places during this journey... Our first little home studio (profile photo), Bali, Mexico, Italy, Lapland, Greece, and now Koh Samui in Thailand. ️ If you would have to think of a place, where is your mind taking you? Somewhere special? A place, a moment? ️ Photo taken at the beautiful and peaceful private beach of @ban.sairee / @theluxenomad / @lvh_villas . . . #yoga #art #bansairee #theluxenomad #luxuryvillasandhomes

Ban Sairee had an amazing beach that was almost completely secluded. I really liked the wooden characteristics of the buildings also, and the tall palm trees in the garden.

I was really excited about the wooden patio with ocean views at the L2 Residence. It’s such a unique place! I couldn’t wait to take some photos there and they turned out just as I imagined. I also loved the interiors of the whole villa.
