We had our first yoga guest from Guatemala today, who generously gave us some feedback identifying our class as one of the best international yoga experiences he has had. Every class is unique and we aim to create a really diverse experience with different styles of yoga and meditation for you.

Cape Men's Yoga is proud to invite you to join a two part teaching session on the Surya Namaskara A / Sun Salutation A sequence. In the Hatha and Ashtanga yoga traditions, most yogis know to follow a basic sequential routine that involves most muscles in the body. These are the Surya Namaskara sequence - the honorific greeting of the sun and the new day. On Sunday 10 August 2014 we'll spend time teaching the hatha surya namaskara in detail - explaining and practicing each asana and developing confidence in the sequence. On Sunday 17 August 2014, we'll be doing a ritual observed by many yogis and ashrams around the world, of performing 108 full cycles of the Surya Namaskara to music. It is a physically challenging practice but powerful, meditative and liberating. It is a journey into the heart of yoga. We invite you to join us for this special event. It also provides for excellent training ahead of our Spring Awakening Retreat in the Overberg, 12-14 September 2014
