"It's freedom, it's vulnerability, it's liberation."

Classes run by Aleea Moodie out of Toowoomba, Queensland, are changing lives for women who have spent years feeling trapped by body image issues.

The 29-year-old decided to start teaching the female-only classes after realising how awkward people get seeing naked women while they barely have a problem with violence and blood in movies.

"People are way too comfortable with violence and blood – so why is it we get so awkward with the naked body?" she told 9news.com.au.

"So I went from there and made it my mission to make us comfortable with our bodies."

The classes are held in candle light, with the woman all in a line at the front of the room. (Nine)

Ms Moodie says the response to her classes has been overwhelming, with many women saying the nude practice has changed their life.

"There are a lot of underlying issues with the way woman feel they are meant to look and act.

"A lot of women feel ashamed of their bodies because of the media, so when they realise everyone has cellulite and their boobs aren’t perfect, it empowers them."

"I think my first class hadn’t of gone well, I wouldn’t have continued it but the response was off the charts," she said.

"As we laid in our poses, thoughts ran through my head of my 25 years of body issues," one person wrote to her.

"But then it occurred to me – my body is a vessel, my body is not me. My body is here to carry me through life but is not who I am."

"I am not a big girl, I am not a big belly, I am me."

Ms Moodie said there are usually 10 to 15 women who strip down for the hour-long class that costs $20 and beginner nerves always wear off quickly.

"They’re definitely nervous for the first couple of minutes," she said.

"But quickly they become comfortable because they’re finally feel free.

"It's freedom, it's vulnerability, it's liberation.

"Not having clothes is the best thing ever – and no, we don’t do any downward dogs.

"We do flow stretches on the floor such so no one feels vulnerable and everyone feels comfortable."

Ms Moodie says her nude classes, which attracts people of all ages and bodies types, are always fully booked and she now has hopes of taking the practice across the country.

"I want to get this to travel around Australia, I would love that, I’m hoping that will happen."

"I understand it’s not everyone's cup of tea but it's such an empowering feeling when you realise you don’t care what other people think."

And while Ms Moodie has been labelled online as sexist, she plans to keep the classes female-only for now because it creates a safe space for women.
