Cape Men's Yoga - naked vinyasa class and meditation: 3 November 2013




Join us this Sunday for 2 hours of yoga and meditation. 

We'll be following a vinyasa ashtanga style, with some extra emphasis on arm balancing. Vinyasa is a dynamic and flowing style of yoga, meant to heat the body and move through a series of postures - the sun salutation sequences, standing postures, balancing postures, seated postures, inversions and a meditation. This week there will be study attention given to a variety of arm balancing postures. We will also return to our practice of guided meditation for the last part of the class. Meditation is one part of the 8 limbs of yoga practice and a valuable life skill.

You need to bring a yoga mat, a sweat towel and you may want a water bottle. Class are voluntary - donations are welcome to cover the use of the centre. 

We practice in the Hout Bay. The venue is private and convenient for our nude men's practice. Contact us for the specifics on the venue. Email us on capemensyoga AT gmail. com

Class starts at 10h00. Please be inside the gate by 9h55 latest. Secure parking. 

 Beginners welcome. 

 We'll also have the details ready this week on our Summer naked yoga retreat taking place in the Overberg from 9 to 12 January 2014. 

 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

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.

Cape Men's Yoga & Meditation - special Yin Yoga class - 10 July 2016

Image
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.
