Namaste;
Through several teachers and specialists and the world of support from the Indian Consulate in Cape Town; and many, many years of experience, education and practice, we have developed the infrastructure of Mzansi School of Yoga. Our focus is personal growth and social development through the education of Yoga, responsibly and with integrity. Mzansi is made up of many Yoga teachers, associates, strategic partners and private persons all working towards their own light, with the support of Mzansi School of Yoga of course; to spread the respect and joy of the Yoga practice. The school is led by Lauren Mensikovas, a gentle soul in the most powerful ways. Lauren runs Mzansi Yoga with a firm, clear and compassionate sense and in so doing, creates a unique type of teacher through the RYT200 teacher training courses; the type being, the person themselves, as individual and original as one can get. Endorsed by and affiliated to the international Yoga Alliance, Mzansi constantly reviews, updates and ensures course content is relevant, current and engaging; rooted in the philosophy and history of Yoga. Lauren is assisted and supported by a strong team of Yogi’s and Yogini’s; her teachers and students have inherited the gift of being loyal and true to themselves and their practice. Hunter is co-founder and a RYT200, being Lauren’s first teacher-student many years ago, he rooted his teaching-style in the biomechanics of Yoga – and the healing strength of the pulmonary disciplines - his teachings are sorely missed. Mzansi is involved in and can offer the following:
- Wellness in the Workplace
– stretching and breathing techniques at your desk
- RYT200 Teacher Training – full or part-time
- Events – Full Moon Gathering, Grapevine Yoga, Yoga Outdoor Experiences, International Yoga Day
- Private/Public Classes – public gyms, Yoga studios, your space of choice
- Workshops – Intro to Yoga, Masters Class, Arm Balance & Inversion, Immersions
- Yoga Retreats – from Cape Town to Italy, to the world.
- Yoga for Sports division that assists athletes in numerous sporting codes and disciplines to enhance their performance and understanding of the human body, and mind – and how each plays its part. We have a simple vision, one that sees the love of Yoga spreading to every soul in the world. For every man, woman and child to be guided through life by the Yogic life, filled with compassion, with understanding, non-judgement and heaps of deep breathing.
