Nude vinyasa yoga for men in Cape Town - 01 June 2014

This week is a vinyasa yoga class working with the element of air and the anahata heart chakra.

In the past few weeks we have been exploring the understanding of chakras in meditation, yoga and in achieving balance in life. Whether you experience this as something metaphorical, practical or metaphysical - it is an approach to understanding the mind - body relationships and where we are at in life. 

 Anahata is the seat of the heart, it is the place where we feel love, receive love, give love to all living beings in the world. The opening of the heart chakra is the path of all spiritual traditions. It is in the understanding of love that we understand the importance of ourselves and of others. It is with love that other types of suffering are healed and we move forward in freedom and light.

Vinyasa is a flowing yoga form, built around the sequence of the Ashtanga series. We will have a qualified instructor and a qualified support instructor helping you with alignment and adjustments.

The class is all male and all nude. Beginners are welcome. The classes are free and donations are welcome to cover the cost of the venue.

You need a sweat towel and best to have your own mat, block and yoga strap.

The group is open to men of all ages, levels of fitness and cultural backgrounds. We encourage an injury free yoga. Please check with your physician or physio if you have any physical or medical issues which may be important in yoga. Please inform the instructor if you have any such conditions. Practice is at your own risk.

We are now at a convenient venue in Central Cape Town. Class starts at 10h00 and runs until noon.

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

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.
