Yoga, Pilates and climbing are very synergistic. Climbing requires core strength, balance, breathing, focus and mental discipline – all skills that Yoga and Pilates help with tremendously, which is why so many climbers do Yoga and Pilates.
Beginners and non-climbers are very welcome at all our classes. Just introduce yourself to the teacher and let them know it’s your first time.
Come early to reserve a spot as space is limited per class. Pay your day pass or swipe your membership card at the front desk.
First timers will need to complete our waiver.
Notify the instructor of injuries or medical conditions, if you are new or pregnant.
Classes are subject to change. Space is on a first come first serve basis.
A few mats are available in the studio but we advise you to bring your own or purchase an eco-friendly mat in our gear shop as rental mats are limited.
Each class will be slightly different to the next, depending on who is instructing, what music is played and what the instructor offers on the day. All classes suitable for all levels.
Cape Town Instructors
Kim
Yoga
Qualification: Bachelor of Music in dance, mastering in classical ballet; 200hr YTT at ReUnion Yoga with Jim Harrington; Yoga Synergy Fundamentals; Yoga Synergy How to Boost Your Energy
What motivates me: Yoga provides a vehicle to everything that represents well-being to me. Beyond the joy of being intensely physical, present, and balanced in the body, the philosophy and mindfulness feeds every other aspect of living. I take immense gratification in my duty to share with my students this information and offer a type of sanctuary that I still find in my own practice.
My yoga style: Simple answer: whatever works. I use principles learnt in traditional yoga practice (ashtanga and Iyengar) as well as Synergy and Pilates; my classical ballet background has also given me an eye for detail and movement quality. Above all: play.

Tracy
Yoga
Qualification:
RYS200 Hour Vinyasa Teachers Training – Lauren Mensikovas; 20 Hour Aerial Yoga Foundations Teachers Training – Charney Engelbrecht; Original Conditioning & Mindful Movement Facilitation – Dave Gardner
What motivates me: To Move with Mindfulness and Grace within and without the Studio. To allow life to unfold as it does and to flow effortlessly with it. To live a life of integrity, kindness and love. To be the best version of myself and encourage others to be the best version of themselves
My Yoga style: Slow Flow integrating Movement with Breath and Focusing on Form and Graceful Transitions. Encouraging students to explore their range of movement, to try new things and not to feel intimidated by it.
Joff
Yoga
Qualification: E-RYA Certified 500hr YTT; 200hr at ReUnion with Jim Harrington; 300hr at the Shala; Bachelor of Science in Human Bioscience
What motivates me: Yoga has been my glue over the past twelve years, and its teachings have expanded my heart and mind to hold space with the utmost care and entrainment. I love the eight limbs of yoga that one can ‘climb’, and helping others to bring their own heartfelt spirituality into their daily fitness regimen, with a focus on strength training for climbing and other sports. I set strong intentions to draw students to mindful connection with the present through pranayama (breathwork) and meditation.
My yoga style: My Yoga for Climbers classes are largely vinyasa based; I also teach beginners’ and synergy yoga with strong self-affirmations and focus on the expansion of the body’s inner space, introspection and resilience. My cornerstones are the use of breath and explorative body movements intertwined with one’s senses, along with an experienced rock climbing and route setting background.

Mackenzie
Yoga
Qualification: I’m a certified yoga teacher (YAI 200hr) with additional training in Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, Pre-Postnatal Yoga and Grief Recovery Yoga.
What motivates me: As a teacher I am most motivated by holding space for others to reconnect with themselves, to slow down, breathe, and find presence through movement and stillness. I’m deeply inspired by the way yoga allows us to come home to the body and cultivate awareness beyond the physical practice.
At this studio, I teach Yin Yoga. Slow, meditative classes that invite you to turn inward, explore the breath, and rest deeply into awareness. My classes focus on creating softness and balance, encouraging you to meet yourself exactly where you are.
