Join us on a 7 night, 8 day traveling yoga retreat in Egypt with international yoga teacher Chelsea Seaman, as we discover the land of Pyramids & Pharaohs. Together, we will explore the diversity of Egyptian culture set between the metropolis of Cairo and the rural Nubian heritage of Southern Egypt, Aswan. We will experience the hustle and bustle of Cairo, visit the Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World before venturing to laid back Aswan, which brings together Nile views, relaxation, ancient ruins, and Nubian culture in a relatively small space compared to other sprawling Egyptian cities.

In addition to exploring one of the most mystical destinations in the world, Chelsea will be leading us through a daily yoga practice as well as her signature Rising Up Stronger & Heart Opening workshops.

As a mom of three, Chelsea fell in love with the quiet stillness that yoga offers and her practice has moved way beyond the physical asana and has become her favourite outlet. Since discovering yoga and receiving her 200 HR RYT certification,  her passion for sharing the practice as well as her love of travel continues to grow.  Chelsea is the author of Rising Up Stronger, a strength building guide that focuses on drills to increase stability and strength in inversions and arm balances, and she is currently working on Rising Up Stronger 2.0.

DAY 1: 

You will be picked up from Cairo International Airport on arrival and be transferred to the Cairo Pyramids Hotel where we'll gather around for our opening circle and set our intentions for the week ahead. Then we will be whisked off to Nile Pharaoh, Cairo’s luxurious cruising restaurant, with live entertainment, the balmy Nile breeze, and a view of the twinkling skyline after sunset. Enjoy a three-course set menu of Egyptian cuisine on the open deck or in the luxurious indoor lounge. Your hearty meal comes with an oriental show of belly dancing and whirling dervishes, a taste of Egyptian culture and a night to remember.

DAY 2: 

We'll rise early to take in the Ancient pyramids up close and Chelsea will lead us through a morning practice on the pyramid plateau! The rest of the day will be spent taking in the sights of Cairo with a tour of the Egyptian Museum and Citadel of Saladin. In the evening, we will venture to the Khan El Khalili Bazaar, where the bustling, maze-like corridors offer a unique shopping experience with everything from silverware to spices and handicrafts, followed by dinner in a historic restaurant inside the souk.

After morning yoga and breakfast, we'll take a bus to Cairo International Airport for a morning flight to Aswan. Shortly after check-in at Anakato Ecolodge, we'll enjoy a scenic felucca (sail boat) ride to visit one of the oldest civilizations in Africa. This colorful island in the middle of the Nile is home to many hospitable Nubians, leading simple lives. Learn about their culture, traditions, history as you meet and enjoy a traditional dinner and tea.
