Cape Men's Yoga Winter Retreat: 24 - 26 August 2018

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 voluntary basis, so for a fraction of what you would pay overseas, you can have a profound and joyous weekend retreat in the beautiful Overberg, surrounded by Cape Fynbos and some good vegetarian home cooking.

This years theme is Reunion. The word 'yoga' means to join or unite, from its root word 'yug' In yogic philosophy it means a lot of things  - to unite with the divine, to unite with your ultimate self, to unite with truth, to transform into your full self, your full potentional.

Sometimes people think of yoga as a sports practice for happy slim ladies in latex. Yoga deals with your reality - your joy, your body, but also your fears, your stress, your grief and even your traumas. This is a weekend about getting in touch with yourself, opening it all up and finding some healing, reconciliation, laughter, brotherhood and well-being

 Take a plunge into your rediscovery.

It is R1280 per person sharing, which includes your meals, accommodation and the weekend events.

If you really need a private room, we only have a few, That will be R1600, all inclusive.

The yoga hall is heated. We have a great host and lost of vegetarian food. The mountains are covered in fynbos in flower. And the centre has its own water source so whatever the drought is doing, we should be fine.

The venue is 3 hours out of Cape Town, near Napier. You will need to organise transport though many of the guys share lifts.

Bookings can be made via capemensyoga (@) gmail.com

A deposit of R400 is required to secure your place. As this is an entirely voluntary project and the venue costs are divided between us, this deposit is non-refundable.

Deadline for deposits is 30 May 2018. The full amount must be paid by end of July.

See you on the mat!

Namaste

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

  SUNDAY 1 MAY 2016 Dear yogis - as you likely understood, we had to suddenly postpone last week's class. There was a break-in and accident at the yoga centre. The problem has been sorted out and Hector will be able to take the class this Sunday.  He will be working with the theme of intimacy of silence. Beginners are welcome.  We are pleased to announced that one of the most gifted of our new generation of teachers, Hector, will be taking the class this coming Sunday. Hector has trained in India and is accomplished Zen meditator and teacher. He combines his own experiences of body fitness, meditation and yoga to pull together a beautiful practice of mindful movement.

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 practice.
