If you are one of our country’s top athletes, or a beginner trying yoga for the first time, I hope my classes in movement and breathing can benefit your practice. My name is Joff Golembo and I am a yoga instructor offering private and drop in classes in Cape Town. Discover more about A Yogi Climbing below.
Yoga has been my glue over the past 12 years, and its teachings have expanded my heart and mind to hold my own space, as well as my students, with the utmost care and entrainment.
I was introduced to yoga after needing rest and remedy to injuries sustained from rock-climbing and numerous other sports.
I am always an eternal student and I love the 8 limbs of Yoga, striving to grow and live by them. I help others to bring their own heartfelt spirituality into one’s own daily fitness regimen, with a focus on strength training for climbing and other sports.
I set strong intentions to draw students to presence, and higher degrees of presence with breathwork/pranayama and meditation, especially needed in current pandemic times.
My yoga styles
My classes are mainly Vinyasa based. I also teach ‘beginners yoga’, ‘yoga for strength’ and ‘yoga synergy’, with strong self-affirmations and expansion of the body’s inner-space/interoception and resilience. The use of breath and explorative body movements intertwined with one’s senses and an experienced rock-climbing/route setting and sporting background are my cornerstones.
