Cape Men's Yoga & Meditation - Sunday 27 July 2014

Drop your issues and your shorts. Yes, another 2 hours of men's nude yoga this Sunday in central Cape Town. We get naked with our bodies, our hearts, our minds, our strengths and our frailties. Through the use of yoga, pranayama breathing and meditation we build a community of practice for self-affirmation, understanding, solidarity and hope. Be part of it.

The class is all nude, traditional yoga practice for two hours. This week's class will be a flowing vinyasa-ashtanga style - one that combines strength, flexibility, focus and flow. It is accompanied by instruction in breathing and meditation. Whatever your need is, come and find out if this is going to be a valuable set of life skills and community you want to be part of. Ages range from 20s to 70s and everything in between. The men are of different levels of fitness and agility. You start where you are - both with body and mind.

We are overtly supportive of your chosen spiritual path, be that a mainstream religion or a particular spiritualist / shamanic practice. If you are an atheist, come and find the psychological and movement tools for well-being and self-growth.

You need a yoga mat and a sweat towel. If you have any prior injuries or medical issues you should consult a physician or physio first and also advise the instructor. Your practice is at your own risk and we strive for injury free yoga.

Classes are in a discreet venue in the heart of Cape Town. Contact us for further information. We can respond by sms / whatsapp from your initial email.

NOTE: This month is our deadline for registration and deposit for the weekend yoga & meditation retreat in the Overberg (about three hours from Cape Town, near Gansbaai). Deposit is R400 for shared accommodation and full catering, venue rental and voluntary yoga instruction. Event is from Friday 12 September to Sunday 14 September. It is our sixth retreat and all have been remarkable experiences.

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

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 practice.
