Cape Men's Yoga & Meditation - Sunday 10 April 2016

Dear yoga brothers,

Duncan is freshly returned from India.  He spent a month in an ashram training centre in the holy city of Rishikesh on the Ganga (Ganges). He will teach this week's men's hatha yoga class with a special session of pranayama (yogic breathing). This is one of the major practices in yoga along with meditation and asana (yoga movement and postures).

Join us for this very special class.

Please note that we are in the SMALL yoga hall this week and next so we can only accommodate 16 people max. We advise you to let us know if you wish to attend.

We have also discovered that the new venue has showers for those who wish to freshen up after sweaty classes.

Please contact us about venue details. Classes are in the southern suburbs, Sundays 10.30 to 12.30.

This a community yoga practice. It is for men only, a naked yoga practice in a traditional style. Class range between hatha, hatha flow, vinyasa, ashtanga, yin and kundalini. We aim to build a caring and considerate community of practitioners.

Best to have your own mat. Bring a sweat towel and you may want a water bottle. Our new venue allows you Discovery Vitality points, nogal.

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...
