Yoga
I found this really great yoga studio in Cape Town. It’s called Shanti Cape Town. It is specifically an Ashtanga studio, so I was more than thrilled. The teacher, unfortunately, (well fortunate for him, but unfortunate for me) is traveling to India in a few days, so I wont’ have the opportunity to take many classes with him, but he was a really terrific teacher. He’s super stoked about his trip, and ultimately it will make him an even better teacher—but damn… There’s another Ashtanga studio that I also want to check out—so I’ll keep you posted. Between this yoga studio and going to the UU church—I didn’t even know that I was feeling very homesick, until in both of these places I felt completely comfortable and at home!
Also, Cape Town may not have it’s own Lululemon store (yet), but South Africa has done its own amazing job of creating its own yoga clothing line called Shakti Shanti. I can attest that their clothing feels just as good as Lulu’s (though I do feel somewhat sacrilegious writing that). And I’ll let you know how they hold up. So let me know if you want me to pick out something for you, my yogi friends!
