Cape Men's Yoga & Meditation - Sunday 09 February 2014


Join us for another Cape Men's Yoga and Meditation session. Our practice is nude yoga - bringing the body, mind and spirit together in an honest and transparent way. The aim is to build a community of practice, able to learn together, teach together and support each other's journeys to a calm mind, healthier body and wholesome lifestyle.

Men often come to the group because they are looking for something authentic, something that goes to the core of our modern challenges. We not only teach physical yoga, but also take time to explore how the mind and body interact, where happiness comes from, how to destress, and how to sustain a life that is meaningful and good-hearted. We all deserve happiness in life, and this is a space where we explore the meaning of such happiness.

Can't touch your toes? Fine, time to start yoga this Sunday. Can't calm your busy mind? Fine, bring your mind with you and we'll help you find a practice to still the mind and open up your potential for happiness and relaxation.

The class is two hours long, 10h00 until noon on Sundays. Qualified teachers provide guidance in yoga asana, mostly in the vinyasa-ashtanga style, complemented with pranayama yogic breathing and meditation. Beginners are welcome. The venue is in Hout Bay. Write to capemensyoga AT gmail.com for more info.
You can also bbm us on 2a2183bd. Please advise the instructor if you have any injuries or relevant medical conditions.

Classes are free, donations are welcome to assist with the venue. You will need a sweat towel, water bottle and best to have your own yoga mat.

Namaste

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

  SUNDAY 1 MAY 2016 Dear yogis - as you likely understood, we had to suddenly postpone last week's class. There was a break-in and accident at the yoga centre. The problem has been sorted out and Hector will be able to take the class this Sunday.  He will be working with the theme of intimacy of silence. Beginners are welcome.  We are pleased to announced that one of the most gifted of our new generation of teachers, Hector, will be taking the class this coming Sunday. Hector has trained in India and is accomplished Zen meditator and teacher. He combines his own experiences of body fitness, meditation and yoga to pull together a beautiful practice of mindful movement.

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

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 practice.
