‎⁦Naturism is the practice of being nude in non-sexual settings.
‎But for many women, it’s much more than that. It’s a form of liberation, a way to challenge beauty norms and social standards. It’s about rejecting the idea that "our bodies must be perfect to be accepted."

Spent a weekend in the Gower ☀️🌊 and chose to go topless, not on a nudist beach, just a regular one. @vianaziz.bsky.social

No spectacle. Just joy, freedom, and skin meeting the sea air.

Why is this still taboo in the UK when it’s normal in Europe?

Naked yoga is about stripping away more than clothes, it’s about peeling back layers of ego and finding freedom in presence.

The Calanques near Marseille are unreal, mountains drop straight into the sea, perfect for hiking, climbing, , swimming and snorkelling.
‎We had an amazing day.
‎Limestone cliffs, and turquoise water.
‎The Calanques are something else.

Really pleased to have @vianaziz.bsky.social joining us this year for the first time. Putting most of us to shame when it comes to handling the cold 🙂

@helen.berrimansbareall.uk @vianaziz.bsky.social were both mentioned by them. Your work is really impactful and meaningful for women in naturism 💚

Great also to speak with several new female riders, getting into naturism and embracing the opportunity today. This was really great to see!

Cornwall did not disappoint 🌊☀️
‎As a naturist, I’m always looking for places that offer both natural beauty and freedom, and Cornwall delivered on every front. Stunning beaches, peaceful coves, and a relaxed vibe that made the experience unforgettable.
‎Grateful for the sun, sea, and serenity.

Totally agree Hans unfortunately religion and society still control lives and bodies in the MENA region. Hope one day soon many people will be free there.

If you’re a Middle Eastern woman, or any woman raised to believe your body was dangerous or dirty,
‎I want you to know this:
‎You are allowed to seek peace in your skin.
‎You are allowed to be curious.
‎You are allowed to heal even if healing looks nothing like what you were taught. #دعونا_نتعرى

The fact that your own body can be illegal in certain spaces should concern you more than nudity itself

Naturists do not outright reject clothing. We simply see it for what it is - a tool for warmth. Karen Golec from northern Canada likes to travel and explore the world, and has learnt a thing or two on her travels. She talks to @helen.berrimansbareall.uk in Ep. 19 of Women in Focus, out 6th June.
