One month later

Mackenzie opened her locker and unceremoniously dropped her bag inside. She'd just arrived in the female employee locker room that morning, and she had a little bit of time before she led her first class of the day. She unzipped her coat and hung it on the hook inside her locker. She kicked off her shoes and socks, placing them on the floor of her locker. Then, she continued disrobing. First her t-shirt, then her bra, followed by her jeans, and finally her panties were all removed and folded, before being placed in her bag.

Now completely naked, the redhead stood there, ready for another day of work! After taking a deep and steadying breath, Mackenzie closed her locker and headed out of the locker room.

Despite having done this at least a few times a week for nearly a month at that point, Mackenzie still felt this initial nude walk into the gym was always the hardest. It was when she still felt the most self-conscious about being the only one naked in the hallways, was also when the building tended to be at its chilliest in the day, and was certainly when she garnered the most surprised double-takes from gym-goers. But once she began teaching her first nude yoga class of the day, she always felt perfectly comfortable once again.

So, with a pleasant smile on her face, the naked beauty walked amongst the fully clothed gym patrons. She gave a few familiar faces pleasant greetings, and even stopped to chat briefly with a coworker. And through all of it, she didn't try to cover so much as an inch of her body. And why bother? Pretty much every gym regular knew her as the naked yoga instructor by that point. And, according to Stefan, the classes were a huge hit! The number of memberships had noticeably increased for the gym, and the building did feel a bit busier than it had a month ago.

Initially after taking her new position, Mackenzie had tried wearing a robe to and from her yoga classes. But, each and every time, she'd find that the robe was gone by the time class was over. Indeed, every single time she tried to bring something to wear after finishing a class, it would inevitably get "lost" somehow. And, try as she might, Mackenzie was simply never able to catch it happening while she was practicing yoga. She simply enjoyed losing herself to the exercise too much. So, after a week of struggling, Mackenzie finally gave in to the obvious solution. She simply stayed naked between all her classes.

That led to her spending a fair amount of down time lounging around the gym nude, which only helped bolster her reputation as the nude yoga instructor (and surely did a number for the gym's memberships as well). It was just simpler for her that way. And she truly did feel more comfortable being seen naked by others by that point. Although, Mackenzie still wore clothes to and from work every day. (Or at least, nearly every day...)

"Mackenzie!" Ali called, running up to get her attention before the redhead entered her classroom.

"Morning Ali," she pleasantly replied. "What's up?"

"Glad I caught you," she said before holding up a small plastic bag with a bundle of fabric inside. "I've got your clothes from last Friday."

That statement caused a blush to finally spring forth on Mackenzie's face. Last Friday, she'd been such a hurry to head home for the weekend that she'd accidentally forgotten to get dressed before leaving the gym! She'd simply grabbed her bag from her locker and left her clothes sitting on a bench in the locker room. Mackenzie had made the entire drive home nude without even realizing her state of (un)dress.

She'd only found out when she noticed a neighbor's slack-jawed expression upon her stepping out of the car and onto her driveway. That had sent her scurrying inside with no small amount of embarrassment. She was more comfortable with being naked around others, yes, but she still had limits!

That's the danger of getting used to being naked in public, Mackenzie supposed.

"Thanks Ali," Mackenzie said, reaching for the bag. But then she thought better of bringing it into the class with her. "Um, mind if I swing by and get those from you at the end of the day, actually? I'm just about to go teach a class."

"Fine by me," Ali said, all too familiar with the tendency of Mackenzie's clothes to "disappear" during classes she led. "But you might want to come up with some sort of system to make sure that doesn't happen again."

"What, leaving the gym naked?" Mackenzie asked, with a nervous laugh. "It was a one time brain fart, Ali. It won't happen again."

"Two time event," Ali countered, "if you count last Monday when you stepped out into parking lot naked. As I recall, you made it all the way to your car before running back inside to get dressed!"

"Like I said, it won't happen again," Mackenzie said, before waving goodbye to her friend and heading for the gym classroom.

And it WON'T happen again! Mackenzie assured herself. I'll just start being extra careful to remember I get dressed at the end of the day from now on!

The redhead figured there was no need to tell Ali about how she'd nearly forgotten to get dressed after getting out of bed over the weekend. Or about how she'd actually forgotten to get dressed before answering the door the day before that. For a brief moment, Mackenzie noticed that she seemed to be forgetting to get dressed around her own home more and more often... But then she entered the classroom and those thoughts left her mind.

Instead, they were replaced with the comforting feeling she now associated with being naked in one of the classrooms. Even as all the gathered women's eyes turned to her bare body, all Mackenzie could think about was how good she was about to feel from the yoga session. She took her place on the mat at the front of the room and looked out at the gathered women.

Mackenzie felt a surge of pride and happiness when she noticed that three other women in the class had elected to participate nude that day as well! She gave them each a smile and a nod in support. Then, she started the class.

"Good morning everyone!" she said, full of energy. "My name's Mackenzie and I'll be your yoga instructor today. Let's get started, shall we?"
