Get naked! And breathe... next class is Sunday 15 September 2013

We have another vinyasa yoga class this Sunday at 10h00 until noon. It is at our regular venue in Hout Bay.


Yoga is a great opportunity to grow your relationship with your own life and to meet new and interesting people. So much in life involves being in a rush, trying to work things out with other people, deadlines and pressure. Yoga is some ME time to be with your body and breath, and if it is right for you, to also have some meditative and spiritual time to reconnect to the world.

Class involves instruction in yogic breathing, yoga postures and meditation techniques. It is athletic and physically challenging. You work at your own physical and comfort level - ok - maybe a bit past your comfort level.

Why get naked? Stripping down is fun and it is also a chance to be real about our bodies, our foibles, the things that make us feel vulnerable. It is a non-judgemental space - guys are all shapes, colours, sizes and degrees of fitness. What we have in common is a willingness to be who we are, to learn and to be a supportive team.

In the yoga we attempt to align our intentions and our actions - to overcome mental habits that hold us back, as well as get the body moving and flourishing in a manner that will keep you fit for a lifetime. So whether you are 20 or 70, there is something for you to explore. New guys are always welcome.

Special Easter Sunday class - Cape Men's Yoga & Meditation

Image
We have moved to our amazing new venue in Constantia in the southern suburbs of Cape Town. This beautiful space is well equipped for our men's naked yoga on Sundays. We've moved the time to 10.30 to 12.30 to fit in with the venue scheduling. We will have a naked yoga class this Sunday, 27 March 2016. We'll be explore the use of bandhas - the body locks which influence energy flow and protect the body from injuries. As we finally have good wall space we are also going to be doing an introduction to handstands. Handstands for some reason have become a craze on social media. That is not a good reason to learn them - but they are also interesting in teaching us about balance, about seeing the world from a different angle and in building up shoulder strength. If you are terrified of handstands, don't worry, there will be other options for you. You are never obliged to do a posture that could cause you problems or anxiety. Yoga is always about your specific jou...

Cape Men's Yoga & Meditation - special Yin Yoga class - 10 July 2016

Image
NAKED MEN'S YIN YOGA PRACTICE IN CAPE TOWN Join us for this special Yin yoga class. We will be teaching this unusual form of yoga - slow and using gravity rather than muscular strength. Yin draws on our lunar energy and the intuitive mind. Most yoga is 'yang' in that it is muscular and energetic. Yin allows us to let go, to let go of the physical effort and concentrate just on being. Yin is a way to explore the unexplored - to be mindfully exactly where we find ourselves.  Each posture is held for five full minutes - working through a sequence of floor postures where the focus in on the still mind rather than on the form of the asana.  This is arguably one of the most meditative styles of yoga. Though working without physical exertion it is still challenging and we confront our own mental reactions to comfort and discomfort, stillness and concentration.  We are at a venue in the southern suburbs of Cape Town. Beginners are welcome. It is a fully nude male practic...
