Sinai Yoga and Breath Retreat

The respite in Dahab

Crazy freediver paradise Dahab was my winter retreat. The place where people find peace. A bubble of wild Bedouins, international travellers, expats and divers who can catch their breath here.

Refuel, dive, breathe.

This is how the idea was born to simply take you with us.

We stay in a nice apartment hotel for the week, right on the beach with a great reef right on the doorstep.

Yoga takes place in a glass yoga box overlooking the sea.

And then the thing with the breath... Our direct feedback as to whether we really let go and relax. We learn how to provide ourselves with more energy by gently holding our breath. After a short time, you can hold your breath for much longer than you ever thought. And you feel your body filling up with new energy.

We will take this game with the breath into the sea, together on the coral reef we dare our first steps into freediving. You might even explore the deep if you're curious. Freediving without tanks, just using the power of our body and mind.

Waterdance is a form of contact improvisation in water. By dancing together in the water we bring the yoga exercises into the sea.

We explore our breath and body in the water in a safe place.

This week is an invitation to you to take time for your breath and the impulses that breathing and holding your breath trigger in you. To trace the thoughts and feelings when you take your breather. Refueling in sea and desert. And to discover the fascinating landscape of Sinai together.

Let our divine cook spoil you with Mediterranean - vegetarian dishes. Daily brunch after our morning session and 2 x dinners (1x at our hotel and 1x on our desert trip), on the other evenings we will either go out to eat and get to know Dahab's multicultural cuisine, or you can prepare something of your own in your own kitchen in the apartment .
