Cape Men's Yoga

Dear Yogis, We are slipping in a special event before the year ends. You are invited to spend an hour on an amazing outdoor deck in the heart of Cape Town for a lunar meditation. The moon energy in yoga is associated with intuition, calmness, cleansing and compassion. We'll be outdoors so bring a cushion and / or blanket. We'll be outdoors so you'll need your shorts or track pants. We may have time for the Chandra Namaskara - Moon Salutation sequence as well. Tuesday 29 December at 21h00 until 22h00. Contact Nigel: 082 579 6868 or capemensyoga @ gmail.com

There will still be Christmas cake to consume, friends to see, braais to attend and various other summer treats - hopefully including some time outdoors as the weather starts to heat up. Whatever your traditions or faith, we hope you have been enjoying your holiday period and able to experience of positive energy of friends, family, and the spirit of generosity and sharing. We will have our first men's nude yoga class of the year on Sunday 3 January 2016 at 10.00 at our usual venue in central Cape Town. We'll be doing some meditation work and a yin yoga class. Yin is a special form of yoga which is done very slowly and without using muscular energy. It is an introspective style where the positions are held for five minutes or more. It is believed that this style is stimulating for the immune system, a good recovering practice, as well as allows deep feelings to process and for the mind to find great focus and stillness. What better way to enter into 2016 than with atten...

Dear Yoga brothers, We had our last class of 2015. We celebrated our community, our practice and our journey to a unified consciousness of embracing our own lives and our place in the global ecosystem and energy of the universe. Each and every one of you shape the world through your thoughts, actions and engagement. Yoga, which means 'unity' is all about letting down our defences, putting down our armour, being vulnerable and open to the universe, and discovering how we are part of the cosmos - living, breathing, caring, loving, feeling and growing in our wisdom and kindness. We'll try to do some more postings here for you to consider how to deepen your practice of meditation, yoga asana and living well. Meanwhile, wishing you blessings, peace and serenity during the holiday period. Whatever your religion, language, culture or family context we hope that you connect with your inner truth and share this light with those around you. Be the change, use your powers of co...

Dear Yogis, Cape Men's Yoga is coming to the end of a wonderful year of yoga and meditation practice. There have been many highlights - our two very successful and transformational retreats, our out door meditations in the urban park in Cape Town; and the 108 sun salutations session to raise money for Nepal earthquake relief. The classes have been consistently full of our regulars and a steady stream of new guys willing to strip naked and find their inner selves on the yoga mat. We hope you will join the last two classes this year: Eugene, a distinguished aerobics and dance instructor and a qualified yogi will be taking the Sunday 6 December class. Nigel is back from Europe and will be teaching the last class of the season on 13 December. Remember our Cape Men's Yoga summer retreat is the last weekend of January 2016. Classes will resume on Sunday 3 January 2016. Whatsapp: 082 579 6868 Email: Capemensyoga AT gmail dot com
