George Monty Davis, aka Naked Yoga Guy, has been given many citations for practicing naked yoga in San Francisco.

Activism

Davis claims to be promoting his book and lifestyle to the masses. He has received many complaints in regard to his public nudity. He went to court on charges of public nudity; however, in San Francisco, this is not illegal unless there was a lewd act accompanying this nudity.

Davis has said he might not return to the shorefront with his naked yoga. "I am making a political statement at the price of police harassment, which is a waste of both of our times," Davis said.
