Yoga is about a lot of things. Sometimes it is about the body, sometimes it is more about the mind, sometimes it is about the spirit, and sometimes it is about the community we create. Yoga is based on yamas and niyamas, a code of conduct for how we treat ourselves and how we treat others. It is a personal and a social practice. This year's Cape Men's Yoga Winter Retreat was entitled Reunion . This was partly because Nigel came home to South Africa to help with the retreat, partly because many of the traditional teachers of CMY came back from their various journeys of body and mind, and partly it was a statement about reuniting with our personal path, with our beliefs and with ourselves. The word yoga , which comes from the Sanskrit yug , means to unite or harness. Every retreat is so different. The dynamics change, some of the men change, the weather changes, the times of the year and of our lives change. What remains constant is the shared practice, the bonding, the l...

REUNION - Rediscover your world Cape Town, South Africa Yes, it is happening. We are very proud to announce that Cape Men's Yoga will hold one of its extraordinary weekend retreats, 24 - 26 August 2018. It is a weekend of naked yoga, meditation, self-exploration, movement, art and creativity, for men, by men, whatever your sexual orientation. The weekend is for men who already have a yoga practice. Regrettably, no beginners may attend as it is too physically demanding. Bookings are open now. We will take only 21 men for this  retreat. At this stage we have five teachers attending, including various styles of yoga and pilates. There will be a TRE class that works with shaking as a form of emotional release. We will have several creative projects with some very gifted teachers. All of our yoga teachers are professionally certified. They donate their time in this wonderous effort of co-creation. To be immodest, our retreats are legendary and entirely on a volun...

Dear yoga brothers, Yes, we are naked on our yoga mats every Sunday in Cape Town's southern suburbs.  Apologies that the blog page has been unmanned for a few months. Our founder (me!) has moved overseas and the media side of our communications has reverted mostly to word of mouth. Cape Men's Yoga continues to meet weekly. We have moved from Constantia to a new space in Claremont. The new space is easily accessible with lots of public transport options, easy parking and Cavendish mall right nearby. Sam and others have taken over the teaching and the classes flourish with about twenty guys a week including newcomers. Remember those New Year's resolutions? Well, they are still valid. Taking up yoga or rejoining your practice is a commitment to yourself and your physical, mental and spiritual well-being. We are not your average yoga group - we focus on a holistic approach to yoga, the physical and the philosophical, dealing with movement and stillness. We are al...
