Cape Men's Yoga & Meditation on Sunday 21 September 2014



After a superb weekend yoga and meditation retreat in the Overberg, with 28 members from several provinces, we are back on the mat in Cape Town this Sunday, 21 September 2014. The retreat explored the role of our spiritual faculties in getting us to move along our path, and the hindrances of the mind that can trip us up. We focussed on upper chakras and the notion that our path is one of spiralling in towards truth, and upwards towards inspiration and connection with the divine / the universal.

You are welcome to join our wellness revolution. 2 hours of naked men's yoga and meditation in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Whatever your fitness, your age or your belief system, you are welcome to come and explore the mind-body-spirit relationship with us.

If you are looking for greater flexibility, fitness, inner peace, self-acceptance or to meet like-minded men - Cape Men's Yoga is a great destination and journey of discovery.

This week we'll be back at a vinyasa ashtanga style dynamic yoga practice with guided meditation.

You need your own yoga mat, a sweat towel, a water bottle is optional and an open mind as always. Beginners are welcome, as well as intermediate and advanced practitioners.

Voluntary practice with professionally qualified instructors. No fees but donations are indeed welcome.

Class starts at 10h00 sharp and the doors are locked, so please be on time. The venue is in the heart of Cape Town. Contact us by email for the details.

If you have any injuries or pre-existing conditions, we strongly recommend you consult your health practitioner before starting yoga. It does not prevent your practice but you may need to modify. Please also inform the teacher, even if it seems like a minor injury issue. Practice is at your own risk.

There will not a class on Sunday 28 September as the venue is not available. We are currently looking for an alternative for that day. Watch the blogs for an update.

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

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.
