Dear Yoga brothers, This is to confirm that we will be having another Cape Men's Yoga retreat at our favourite venue in the Overberg, Western Cape, South Africa. CMY is a voluntary group of yogis based in Cape Town. For 7 years we organised annual or biannual retreats. Our aim is to create a space for you to come and practice, be in a place of kindness and meet some very special people in a beautiful natural environment.  This is again a Winter retreat in the southern hemisphere:   8-11 August 2019 . This is over the long-weekend, so it should be easier for people to join for the whole of the Friday practice. We will again offer the option of coming a day earlier to start with quieter meditation and yoga time, and then a full programme beginning on Thursday 8 August. This in practice means you can come for 4 nights, 3 nights or just the Friday and Saturday nights. The exact cost of the retreat depends on a number of factors, including how many men will attend, ho...

Yoga is about a lot of things. Sometimes it is about the body, sometimes it is more about the mind, sometimes it is about the spirit, and sometimes it is about the community we create. Yoga is based on yamas and niyamas, a code of conduct for how we treat ourselves and how we treat others. It is a personal and a social practice. This year's Cape Men's Yoga Winter Retreat was entitled Reunion . This was partly because Nigel came home to South Africa to help with the retreat, partly because many of the traditional teachers of CMY came back from their various journeys of body and mind, and partly it was a statement about reuniting with our personal path, with our beliefs and with ourselves. The word yoga , which comes from the Sanskrit yug , means to unite or harness. Every retreat is so different. The dynamics change, some of the men change, the weather changes, the times of the year and of our lives change. What remains constant is the shared practice, the bonding, the l...

We have not class on Sunday 21 May but we are back on the mat on 28 May for a flowing vinyasa class of body, mind and heart. Join us in this energetic and kind practice. Deposits are due for the winter retreat: 10 - 13 August 2017. Contact us at capemensyoga AT gmail.com Whatsapp 0825796868

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 Yoga brothers, Warm wishes of the New Year to you all. I hope that you were able to say goodbye to 2015 with peace in your hearts and embrace the start of 2016 with all of its wonders, challenges, opportunities and blessings.  We will kick off 2016 with a  yin yoga class  on  Sunday 3 January 2016 at 10.00 until 12 noon . This is at our regular venue. There is indoor parking if you enter from Buitengracht, ask for details. That is the first floor parking take the lift to the 3rd floor. Your donations are very much appreciated.  Yin  is a Daoist style of yoga, very slow, positions are held for five minutes each. It is not muscular but meditative and introspective. A great way to enter peacefully into the new year.  We are expecting some changes in 2016.  We may be shifting the  venue  of our Sunday yoga. We are looking at various options.  Currently we are still at our city centre venue until further ...
