We will begin the afternoon with breath awareness focusing on the most basic (and vital) aspect of life, and learn how to transform your entire well-being with a few simple exercises, including Nadhi Shodhana, Kapalbhati and Diaphragmatic breathing. As a beautiful segue, we will be meditating in order to reset our central nervous system and re energize our body and our mind. Afterward we’ll dive into some Tai Chi moves and straight into the Animal Flow series—a movement series that is designed to strengthen the body, quiet the mind and tap into your more “animalistic” nature. If you haven’t tried Animal Flow you’re in for a surprise. It’s a combination of martial arts, yoga, breakdancing and even free-movement for a complete workout—not just head-to-toe but inside-out! The flow is very grounding, in fact, you’ll spend the entire sequence with your body hovering near the ground, utilizing your strength and balance while increasing your agility.

We will finish the movement part of the day with a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu session led by Mic—who is a Purple Belt with more than 5 years experience—where you’ll learn how to control an opponent on the ground, neutralising an attack with choke holds, and joint locks and get a chance to practise your self-defense skills (and have some fun). Once you’ve properly worked up an appetite, you’ll finish the afternoon with a BBQ, a bevvy and some great conversation.

Don’t miss this opportunity to do something new and spend the afternoon moving and laughing in great male energy company.
