Deepen your practice, or perhaps find a new passion
Most mornings we gather under the trees for a beautiful yoga practice, tailored for you. On windy days we slow down and stretch, and on no wind days we provide the work-out you're missing.
At Khaya we're lucky to have a beautiful, leafy garden, to start our days with outdoor yoga.
About five times a week we roll out the mats together for a 45-minute class, usually in the calm of the morning before the wind fills in. Some days a flowing vinyasa to wake the body up, some days a slow yin to release sore muscles.
It's relaxed and unpretentious. Whether you've practised for years or have never set foot on a mat, you'll have fun with us and leave feeling better.
We practise outside under the trees, in a green corner of the house.
A variety through the week, depending on the teacher's expertise and your wishes.
Never done yoga? Perfect. Classes are pitched so a first-timer and a seasoned yogi share the same space.
Turn up in comfy clothes and we'll sort the rest. Nothing to buy, nothing to carry.
Mobilise before a session, unwind the shoulders and hips after. Yoga and kiting go hand in hand.
Give what feels right for you. It keeps the practice open to everybody, whatever your budget.
Not at all. Classes are accessible to every level, from your very first session to years on the mat. We provide mats and blocks, so you can just turn up in comfortable clothes and follow along.
About five mornings a week in high season, usually a 45-minute class from 9 to 9.45am, though we're always open to requests. Weather permitting we practise on the grass in the garden, and each day's class and time goes up in the house WhatsApp group, so just show up a few minutes early.
A mix of vinyasa, hatha and yin across the week. Classes are often geared towards preparing for or recovering from kiting, and we're always open to requests and wishes.
Classes are donation-based. Give what feels right for you. Everybody is welcome, whatever your budget.
Our classes are mainly for guests staying at Khaya and our sister house, Mayana. If you're not staying with us you're still welcome to join on request: message us and you can take a class for R150.
No. We provide mats and blocks. Just bring water and something comfortable to move in. Mornings can be cool, so a warm layer for the final rest is nice.
Very. A little mobility and breathwork before a session helps you ride longer and safer, and gentle yin afterwards opens up the shoulders, hips and back that a big day on the water tightens up. Many of our classes are built around exactly that.
