Naked in life, naked on the mat: Next class is Sunday 14 December 2014

Dear yogis,


Cape Men's Yoga will be running through the summer months. The newly qualified but deeply gifted Craig will be taking the class on Sunday 14 December. Regulars and visitors most welcome. We have extra mats for the drop ins.

Yoga refers to union, uniting, bringing together. We are taught that in yoga we become one with the whole universe, we become integrated internally - the mind, body and spirit in harmony. We align our energy points  - our chakras and their respective forms of personal energy and capacity. We find our connection with others in our lives. We let go of the stress, anger, confusion and find one of life's great and simple joys - the movement of the body and the stilling of the mind.

Men's nude yoga is a chance to strip it all down. Drop issues of your job, your status, your wealth, your position in life. Just be who you are underneath - raw, transparent, humble and present. As the body is uncovered, so we also journey to see the mind more clearly, to find ourselves, our own truth, our mission and purpose in life.

We invite you to come and join us every Sunday from 10.00 until noon. Beginners are welcome as are more advanced practitioners. If you have injuries or prior medical issues, please consult a physician or advisor. Practice is at your own risk.

Craig will be taking this class. It will be a hatha flow with some elements of the synergy style of yoga. You can message him on 0769183363

Classes are free, donations are welcome to cover the venue.

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

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.

He combines his own experiences of body fitness, meditation and yoga to pull together a beautiful practice of mindful movement.

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.
