A firm body, a mind at peace
The benefits of sport on our physical and mental health, known and recognized for a long time, are countless. For any naturist in search of personal fulfillment, sport can therefore become an ally. Indeed, to combine sport and naturism is :
- Liberator: the body freed from the shackles of clothing, movements are facilitated - swimming without a swimsuit, what a joy! Naturally, the mind is freed in turn.
- Healthy: living - and therefore playing sports, naked, allows the body to become more resistant to climatic variations and diseases.
- Hygienic: sweat evaporates quickly rather than turning into humidity and unpleasant odors.
Sport and naturism, yesterday and today
The practice of sport without clothes can already be observed in Antiquity: Greek athletes in fact trained entirely naked. Today, "Randonue" and nude yoga are booming in the world of naturism and official initiatives are multiplying. Here are some examples :
- In 2012, the first naturist Olympic Games in Brazil were held.
- The World Naked Bike Ride is a pacifist cyclist-naturist demonstration against addiction to cars and petrol. It also advocates the beauty and individuality of the human body, embodied by the fragility of the cyclist in traffic.
In Paris, the Roger Le Gall establishment reserves certain slots in its gym and outdoor pool for naturists.
Some "me" time
Alone or in a group, each naturist has his own way of practicing sport. Thus, individual sports will be an opportunity to give you a moment of relaxation just for you, to exercise, meditate, become aware of your body and its environment. Running, yoga, swimming, archery, golf, many activities can also be done in this idyllic setting of nature. This is a wonderful opportunity to recharge your batteries, to reconnect with yourself, another way of being naturist.
Team spirit
A stay in a naturist center is an opportunity to discover and practice many team sports: beach volleyball, football, basketball, etc. Motivation, laughter and meetings will be there. Naturism is inseparable from sharing! Group naturist hikes will allow you to combine sport, breathtaking panoramas and discovery of the local flora and fauna.
