It is that time of year again .... Cape Men's Yoga - the all male, all nude yoga and meditation community is gathering at our favourite retreat centre - Bodhi Khaya in the Cape Overberg region - just a few hours out of Cape Town. 12 - 14 September 2014 This is our sixth such retreat. There are usually about 20 guys on the retreat. The venue is beautiful. Accommodation is shared - mostly two single beds in cottages around the quad but there are also cottages for group bookings and the two dormitories which take 3 and 5 men respectively.  Bodhi Khaya has been ranked as one of the world's top 'secret' retreat centres. It was founded by local Buddhists but has emphasised an ecumenical approach to spiritual development. They have always been welcoming of Cape Men's Yoga and we honour this welcoming. It is only the yoga that is practiced nude as the centre is not designed for naturalism in other regards. If the weather is warm, there is however a dam for sw...

Sunday 29 June 2014 -  Join us for two hours of exploration of the mind, body and spirit.  A lively class of vinyasa flow yoga followed by guided meditation. Join our community and give yourself that healing boost on a Sunday to make your week smoother and your life more focussed.  In the past seven weeks we have been studying the use of the chakras - energetic points in the body associated with aspects of our character and our relationship with the greater universe. This week we'll be working with the bandhas - energetic locks which when used properly are believed to share the flow of energy in the body. They can be used for energising ourselves, for helping to control muscle, breath and blood flow. The bandhas also help us shift focus from one part of the body and one type of energy flow, to a new dynamic that ideally helps us on our path to greater consciousness and wellness.  The class is desi gned for those with some yoga experience but beginners are we...

Join us for this week's nude men's yoga and meditation. We will be teaching a Yin-Hatha class. Yin yoga is a non-muscular yoga, where the poses are held for longer duration without muscular effort. Though it sounds easier, it can be challenging in some positions.  The purpose of a yin practice is to journey into th e memory of the body, to find wisdom in the silent places which we tend not to acknowledge or which may be hidden from view. Yin is about the darkness of the spaces between the joints, about activating the use of the fascia and in being fully present in each of the inward focussed asanas. Technically, a yin practice places gentle pressure on tendons, ligaments and pulls into the fascia. This is healthy for long term muscular health and appears to also stimulate the immune system of the body. The yin practice will be complemented with traditional hatha movements to gentle stretch and awaken our mind-body-spirit connection. Yin is one of the most meditative of ...

In our on-going series of men's nude yoga practices that follow upwards along the chakra chain, Duncan will be working with the throat chakra - visuddha - the chakra of purification, of mindful speech and compassionate listening. The element associated with the chakra is aether and the sound associated with this chakra is  हं  haṃ Duncan will be teaching part of his Mysore hatha sequence. This beautifully crafted sequence is ideal for beginners to yoga and yet still provides an opportunity for a profound and strong practice for more advanced yogis.  The practice is an all male, all nude yoga class. Nude? Yoga? What an Earth for? We started the class four years ago to create an alternative space in Cape Town for men interested in the mind-body-spirit connection and wanting to learn meditation and yoga in a non-judgmental, non-commercial space. After interacting with Nude York Yoga we decided to see if Cape Town's men were ready to drop their jocks and bare a...
