Cape Men's Yoga & Meditation - Sunday 18 October 2015

Get your Spring Naked On! 


Duncan is back from North Africa and ready to inspire you with another 2 hour naked men's yoga class in the Mysore hatha flow tradition.

Duncan trained in India with a leading yoga guru. He brings to Cape Men's Yoga his detailed training in yoga physiology, pranayama (breathing techniques) and Sanskrit chanting.

This week will include the hatha flow sequence, work on strength and flexibility, and keeping with our October theme of taking yourself into new areas, he will be continuing the work with headstands and inversions.

The class starts at 10 am promptly. You need to inside before 10 as the doors are locked. Bring a yoga mat (some extras for drop ins are available), a sweat towel and an open mind.

CMY is a community-based naked men's yoga group. Payment is by voluntary donation. All of our instructors are certified. Beginners are welcome as well as more advanced practitioners. Our aim is to help you develop your body-mind relationship as well as build a caring community.

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

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...
