Get out your old sheep skin and turban - it is Kundalini time! 3 August 2014

Image
It is that time again - by popular demand, Guru Duncan is offering another nude men's kundalini class. Kundalini is a yoga practice which involves a series of repetitive movements that are designed to awaken our deeper spiritual energy and help us cleanse and dispose of unnecessary attachments. Many kundalini classes can feel extreme and a strain on the body. Duncan draws on his extensive hatha and vinyasa knowledge to combine the fiery energy of kundalini with the physiologically reliable movements of the other yoga practices. All this means that if you are a beginner, you'll likely survive. If you are a regular practitioner you'll get a thrill from this. All our classes deal with mind, body and spirit - through meditation and asana - this one also includes some elements of Sanskrit mantras. If you've been looking to dive on into your energy source - no better place to start. Class is for men only, it starts at 10h00 and finishes at 12h00 noon. Our new venue i...

Drop your issues and your shorts. Yes, another 2 hours of men's nude yoga this Sunday in central Cape Town. We get naked with our bodies, our hearts, our minds, our strengths and our frailties. Through the use of yoga, pranayama breathing and meditation we build a community of practice for self-affirmation, understanding, solidarity and hope. Be part of it. The class is all nude, traditional yoga practice for two hours. This week's class will be a flowing vinyasa-ashtanga style - one that combines strength, flexibility, focus and flow. It is accompanied by instruction in breathing and meditation. Whatever your need is, come and find out if this is going to be a valuable set of life skills and community you want to be part of. Ages range from 20s to 70s and everything in between. The men are of different levels of fitness and agility. You start where you are - both with body and mind. We are overtly supportive of your chosen spiritual path, be that a mainstream religion or ...

Image
It is that time of year again .... Cape Men's Yoga - the all male, all nude yoga and meditation community is gathering at our favourite retreat centre - Bodhi Khaya in the Cape Overberg region - just a few hours out of Cape Town. 12 - 14 September 2014 This is our sixth such retreat. There are usually about 20 guys on the retreat. The venue is beautiful. Accommodation is shared - mostly two single beds in cottages around the quad but there are also cottages for group bookings and the two dormitories which take 3 and 5 men respectively.  Bodhi Khaya has been ranked as one of the world's top 'secret' retreat centres. It was founded by local Buddhists but has emphasised an ecumenical approach to spiritual development. They have always been welcoming of Cape Men's Yoga and we honour this welcoming. It is only the yoga that is practiced nude as the centre is not designed for naturalism in other regards. If the weather is warm, there is however a dam for sw...

Nude yoga and meditation for men - rebooting your life

Image
Sunday 29 June 2014 -  Join us for two hours of exploration of the mind, body and spirit.  A lively class of vinyasa flow yoga followed by guided meditation. Join our community and give yourself that healing boost on a Sunday to make your week smoother and your life more focussed.  In the past seven weeks we have been studying the use of the chakras - energetic points in the body associated with aspects of our character and our relationship with the greater universe. This week we'll be working with the bandhas - energetic locks which when used properly are believed to share the flow of energy in the body. They can be used for energising ourselves, for helping to control muscle, breath and blood flow. The bandhas also help us shift focus from one part of the body and one type of energy flow, to a new dynamic that ideally helps us on our path to greater consciousness and wellness.  The class is desi gned for those with some yoga experience but beginners are we...
