Cape Men's Yoga

                                                                Dear yoga brothers, The summer holidays are upon us. For those planning both their schedules and their yoga practices, please note that we have Cape Men's Yoga classes on 04, 11 and 18 December (postings will be made) and then we are off for Christmas and New Years, starting again in the New Year. It is a great idea when travelling to have a light weight yoga mat to pack and take with you. 

Aidan will be our guest teacher at this week's Cape Men's Yoga and Meditation class.  Aidan is a distinguished Cape Town teacher of hatha and vinyasa yoga, with a background in monastic meditation and massage. Aidan is both a teacher and a yoga author, a regular teacher on our retreats with his own studio in the northern suburbs. Please join us for this exceptional class our southern suburbs venue, a wonderful way to work with body and mind.  Please remember to bring a sweat towel, your yoga mat and a voluntary donation for the class. Beginners are welcome.  For more information contact us on: capemensyoga AT gmail.com Whatsapp 082 579 6868

It is another week of Cape Men's Yoga. When we first started the group, we were not sure if Capetonian men would be willing to strip naked and do yoga together. Cape Town has a bit of a reputation of worrying about what others will say. Our approach was that there must be many men out there looking for a physical and spiritual practice that would put them together with likeminded men. And we were right! CMY has been going for five years and there is a constant flow of new yogis as well as those who return year after year. It is like drinking for a clear clean deep well with fresh water in it. Whatever is going on in your life, yoga is a practice to bring it all together, to refresh, awaken and heal the body and mind.  Yoga is the union of body, mind and spirit; of the inner and the outer, of the mundane and sacred. Whatever you are doing in your life, there is time for you to take care of yourself, to nourish your spirit, work with your body and mind, and to be part of a c...

Dear yogis, We had to take a break last Sunday but we are naked and in motion again on Sunday 20 November 2016. This class will deal with a heart-centred approach to yoga and restoring inner balance. The world is seeming so difficult and unpredictable these days. Many people feel stressed and confused by it all. In our heart of hearts we have peace and unity, but on the surface chaos sometimes feels out of control. Whether an expert or a beginner, come and join us from 10.30 to 12.15 for our men's nude yoga and meditation practice in the southern suburbs of Cape Town. It is a place to be whole again, serene and in touch with your own energy and core. Classes are by voluntary donation. All the teachers are certified. Helps to have your own yoga mat. Bring a sweat towel and you may want a water bottle. The class is open to men of all ages, backgrounds and levels of yoga. It is an all nude, all male practice (See FAQs). If you have any injuries or medical conditions please co...

Dear Yogis, There is NO YOGA CLASS on 13 November 2016 . There is a training course at the yoga centre so we have to give up the space for one Sunday. Join us on 20 November for our next men's nude yoga class.

Dear Yoga brothers, We are pleased to announce that Craig will be leading a hatha flow class this Sunday. Craig has helped teach at a number of the CMY retreats. He is known for his creative and thoughtful style as well as his personal humility. Craig has been a major odyssey, spending 6 weeks in northern India on a training and spiritual journey which included hiking to the source of Ganges in the Himalayan mountains. There are no words to describe such a journey. You will have the opportunity to experience his yogic expression of this journey while on your mat in Cape Town. We invite you to step into this particular river of sharing. Namaste CMY is a men's nude yoga and meditation practice. We practice at a great venue in the southern suburbs of Cape Town. Class is from 10.30 to 12.15 on Sundays. Payment is by a voluntary donation. Please bring a sweat towel and preferrably your own mat.

Cape Men's Yoga & Meditation - Sunday 30 October We are going to have a yoga flow class this Sunday, 30 October. Nigel is going to try to draw together some of the principles and lessons of his visit to Hawai'i and the training by Gavin in Kahuna massage and turn this into a yoga practice. Hawaiian culture is very rich in spirituality, shamanism, body work and the connection between humans and nature. This revolves around the key concept of 'Aloha' - meaning love which guides our thinking, our actions, our relationships with each other and with the living world. Aloha is not just an open heart, it is a type of discipline to be generous, to be patient, to value yourself equally with other living beings. It is the art of good balance and insight.  Yoga similarly works with the mind, body, spiritual connection - finding how the study of our inner world helps us understand the greater universe.  Join us this week for a journey of the heart centre, inspired by th...
