Cape Men's Yoga

Cape Men's Yoga & Meditation Winter Retreat  10-13 August 2017 We are ready to start organising the 2017 Cape Men's Yoga winter retreat. This year we have again booked Hearth & Soul Eco-Farm http://www.hearthandsoul.co.za/ Our host is the energetic and ebullient Sybille Nagel. Hearth & Soul is a rustic retreat, located behind Napier on the way to Stanford via the back roads of the Overberg. It has confortable accommodation, a yoga and meditation hall, big fire places, lounge areas, great vegetarian food and some excellent hiking trails. We have booked for three nights and four days: Thursday 10 August until midday Sunday 13 August. Note that 9 August is a public holiday so you may wish to come a day earlier for some quiet meditation and preparation for the retreat, even the option of some fasting. Evidently, it is also possible for you to come just for 2 nights / 3 days - though we highly recommend committing to the full retreat as th...

Here are some images from the Heaven & Earth summer retreat. The retreat worked with the theme of the five koshas - the five sheaths of our being - physical, energetic, mind, wisdom and bliss. We had yoga, meditation, nature walks, nature talks, labyrinth walking, a creative project where we printed paint from our bodies onto canvas, a pilates lesson, a forest ritual dance and a massage class. The overwhelming experience was one of kindness, brotherhood, freedom and authenticity. Sometimes just being naked with other men allows you to be exactly who you were born to be, without fear, without hesitation, trusting and at peace. It was beautiful. Our next retreat is in mid-August again in the Overberg, Western Cape, South Africa. Namaste The End

Dear yogis, This Sunday we are putting together a special event. As the first part of our practice we are doing an outdoor meditation on the new lawns of the wonderful venue we are using. It is a type of urban park with walk ways, fountains and now lush green lawns fed by recycled water off the building. Yeah to ecological greening of our buildings in Cape Town! For this event, we cannot do a naked meditation outdoors do to the sensitivity of the neighbours. You are on the third floor but there is a hotel right across the street. This means bring a bathing suit, shorts or comfortable meditation trousers with you. We recommend you come earlier than usual to get settled. The terrace is in the shade at 10 am so no worries about sunburns for the paler yogis. Note that you have the option of meditation IN the fountains. You may want to connect fully with the water element. It is a great feeling. Otherwise you can sit on a mat on the lawn. If you have a meditation cushion, bring it ...
