We are moving! 11 May 2014 - our first class in the Central Business District



Hi Yogi-men,

After almost three years at our venue in Hout Bay - and many good memories of sweat and serenity - we are moving to a new venue in the heart of Cape Town. Some business support has provided us with a great space over the winter months for Cape Men's Yoga.

We'll have our first male nude yoga session at 10h00 until noon on Sunday 11 May 2014. We hope the new venue will increase our accessibility and provide you with a clean and conducive environment to practice nude yoga.

The floor is tile, instead of the old carpeted floors, which means you should be sure to have a towel in case you need to protect your knees during practice. You may also want to bring a water bottle with you. There are no showers but proper toilets available.

Beginners are always welcome. If you are new to yoga, please contact the instructor in advance to discuss any medical or injury issues.

Class will be a vinyasa-ashtanga style class - a dynamic and flowing practice, while keeping attention to your own needs and capacity. It will end with some reflexology practice, yogic breathing and guided meditation. The emphasis is on achieving a calm and focussed mind, de-stressing from regular life, and also developing a greater understanding of your body, emotions and mental capacity.

We are committed to building a community of practice, a mutually supportive brotherhood of all ages and backgrounds. Join us in this experience of self-knowledge, well-being and community.

Classes are free. Donations are invited to cover the costs of the venue.

The venue is private, and you need to contact us first to get the details. There is secure parking inside the building.

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. If you have been looking for something special, something that inspires you and brings peace to your heart and mind, please join us for this special class.  We are now back in the southern suburbs at an excellent venue with a full yoga hall, sprung floors, mirrored wall space and even showers.

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.
