This trip has a very metaphysical focus, and people have reported emotional clearing and the shifting of consciousness. Many people have opened to their natural abilities and empowered and taken action in every area of their lives.
Sinai Open Sky Retreat is a holistic and soul recharging trip to the Sinai. It combines the desert and coastal environments, which provide perfect and tranquil environment for Yoga and meditation.
Highly experienced Yoga teachers will lead all Yoga, and meditation workshops, focusing on body, mind and spirit. You will be based partly in Dahab, practicing Yoga overlooking the Gulf of Aqaba, and partly in the desert, experiencing Yoga in a most inspiring setting.
The desert houses some awesome natural plateaus smoothed and eroded by the wind, seemingly especially for Yoga practice.
