About this Retreat
For a diver, the essential elements of yoga can significantly reduce your likelihood of injury. Specific exercises can improve core stability and protect the lower back from the trauma of twin sets and weight belts. Targeting the legs and hips can improve your fining technique, stamina and your general fitness, improving your flexibility and making diving easier and more enjoyable.

For those who want to slow down on their gas consumption, the breathing exercises fundamental in yoga are also ideal for improving lung capacity and encouraging effective, steady breathing and ultimately extend bottom your time.

Location
This retreat takes place in Marsa Shagra, on the Southern Egyptian coast near Marsa Alam. Marsa Shagra is renowned for its world class diving.  Swapping the yoga mat in the studio for the back drop of Marsa Shagra will improve the connection between your body, mind and spirit. This relaxing environment is the perfect destination and you can combine these new yoga experiences with some mind blowing diving.
