SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Nudists, grab your yoga mats
and head for San Francisco.

City prosecutors on Wednesday said it was not illegal
to perform naked yoga in the city -- even at the
crowded tourist destination of Fisherman's Wharf.

Prosecutors dropped charges against a limber nudist,
known locally as the "Naked Yoga Guy," who made a
habit of striking yoga poses in the buff in order to
promote a book and his lifestyle.

The Naked Yoga Guy, whose name is George Monty Davis,
had stripped to stretch near Fisherman's Wharf,
prompting a public complaint. But prosecutors decided
they had a weak public nuisance case against him
because local laws do not bar public nudity.

"Simply being naked on the street is not a crime in
San Francisco," said Debbie Mesloh, a spokeswoman for
the district attorney's office.

"To bring a case, a person would have to exhibit lewd
behavior, block traffic or impede pedestrians on a
sidewalk, something along those lines."

In another case involving a Los Angeles teenager who
dropped his pants to expose his bottom, or "moon,"
passing motorists from a nearby sidewalk, a California
appellate court ruled nudity itself is not a crime,
Mesloh said.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

If it weren't so chilly in SF, there might be a whole new fad for taking morning walks. I can just see it now, "I'm sorry officer about not putting money in the meter ... I just didn't have anyplace to carry the coins. "

I am SO there....lol
