Meet the Naked Breastfeeding Yoga Mom

The photo of a  mom breastfeeding her baby while practising yoga naked went viral. the mom identified as Amy wanted to set the record straight and  has chosen to address some commonly asked questions she’s heard since.


In an interview, Amy declared once and for all that the photo was not staged, like many thought it was. “The truth is we were living on a small community in Hawaii where our land was clothing optional and yoga was/is a necessity! I was just doin’ my daily flow when the little sweet pea came to sneak a suckle,” she wrote in an email.

Amy went on to speak more about her and her family. She says she chose the “simple life” in her early 20s and has been traveling with minimal commitments ever since. She still lives in Hawaii with daughter, Naia, and her partner, but the family will soon move to New Zealand for six months.

Over on her own blog, Amy writes that yoga has been a very important part of her lifestyle and her daughter now loves practicing yoga, too.
