Cape Men's Yoga & Meditation - Sunday 12 June 2016
Welcome...
We had a great class last Sunday - we explored the heart / body / mind relationship - where our happiness, inner peace and connection with the world arises and grows through our practice.
After class I got to chat with one of our members and we were exploring why the naked yoga works so well. Cape Men's Yoga is about to turn six years old. It was an experiment which has flourished and attracted together some of Cape Town's most interesting men, of all races, beliefs, classes, ages and sexual orientation.
We aim to create a safe space for men to know their bodies and minds better, accepting whatever you have going on in your life.
This past Sunday we focussed on lifting our energy and opening the heart and the hips. This coming Sunday we are going to explore the lower chakra. Ok, did you laugh or look a bit nervous? You can take chakras literally - energy points in the body that bring together certain parts of our personality with certain physical elements - or you can take them metaphorically - ways in which we understand how to balance the different aspects of our life, to balance ourselves out, to have attention to the different points of focus in our lives.
The mula-chakra is found at the bottom part of the body. It is associated with the very bottom of the spinal column and with the energy centre in the lower pelvic area, particularly around the anus and perineum.
These are areas of the body that usually we do not expose or explore, and yet they are an anchor for our practice. This is the part of the body that connects us to the Earth's energy, that centres us, and is a place where we can rest and support our practice.
In the yogic philosophy, the Earth chakra represents our birth in this body and this lifetime. It is the expression of how all the elements came together to form this particular life. As such, working with the Earth chakra helps us value our own life, see its greater purpose and meaning. We are grounded in our own truth, journey and mission in life.
Whether you are looking for more flexibility, wellness, strength or inner happiness - come and join us naked on a yoga mat this Sunday. Bring your body and your mind and come explore what you can teach yourself through yoga and meditation.
We practice at a great venue in the southern suburbs. The teachers are all internationally certified. Practice is by donations.
We start at 10.30 until 12.15.
