Practice yoga in a beautiful setting.
Personal development is complemented by worldly experiences, as seeing other cultures can have a profound effect on one's outlook towards life. Egypt has a vast collection of majestic sights, but beyond the pyramids and man-made wonders, there is the isolated settlement of the Siwa Oasis.
This area is far from densely populated – 23,000 people call the Siwa Oasis home – which makes it the perfect destination for travelers on a personal journey for enlightenment. It is located in the deserts of western Egypt and visitors will notice a distinct mix of cultural inspirations from its own country, as well as the indigenous Berber people of North Africa.
Visitors may want to do tai chi or yoga among the ruins of the ancient Temple of the Oracle – a structure devoted to a religious mystic that was known to communicate with Amon, an important god in Egyptian mythology that is personified as breath and air. Being in the presence of such mysticism and history is sure to enhance breathing, an important aspect of yoga, and add a spiritual perk to one's practice.
