Step inside MMX, the nude yoga studio where touch is encouraged
A post shared by MMX YOGA (@mmx_yoga)When Jeff Vilensky was on the hunt for wellness spaces and yoga studios, he would often ask himself a simple question: “Where the f*ck are the men?!”Every space offering those services in New York City seemed to be dominated by women.
As a gay man, Vilensky was looking for a place where he could find community… with other men! He opened Male Massage Exchange (MMX) in 2010, and hasn’t looked back.
Today, MMX is a private massage, yoga and wellness center with over 6,000 members, featuring physical locations in NYC and Fire Island.
