Summer Retreat - 26-30 /06
Yoga and free diving in Sinai
What is special about this retreat?
This is the only retreat that is also open to those who have never freedived and want to get a taste of this world in small steps, and it is also suitable for certified divers who want to come to practice and deepen their knowledge.
Eilat is the best place to be in the winter, and it's proven. The desert takes on a different form in the winter, and there's magic in the air here...
We invite you to 5 days of breathing, yoga, movement and introduction to the world of free diving and the Red Sea/deepening:
Guided freediving training, snorkeling, deep breathing workshops, guided ice immersion, morning and evening yoga classes, sunrise trails, evenings by the light of a campfire in the desert under the open sky, nutritious vegan food prepared for us by Chef Dudla, and more.
These are going to be 5 days of simple and authentic pampering in the desert, at sea, and in our comfortable and stunning villa.
So give yourself a particularly valuable winter gift, one that will warm you from the inside out and give you countless tools for a balanced and peaceful winter.
What is so amazing about Eilat?
The Red Sea is a pilgrimage destination from all over the world. The eternal summer, beautiful beaches, clear sea and spectacular diving sites make the Red Sea coast a sought-after tourist destination.
At the northern end of the Red Sea Gulf lies Eilat. The average depth in the gulf is 900 meters below sea level and the maximum depth is 1,820 meters below sea level. Geologically, the Gulf of Eilat is part of the Syrian-African Rift, hence its great depth.
In winter, Eilat takes on different colors, and you can go out to explore the amazing desert that surrounds the Red Sea.
It's the perfect space to gather inside, practice breathing and yoga, and the water is clearer and cleaner than ever.
We will stay in the town of Dahab - a magical beach town located about 6 kilometers from the blue hole.
In the town there are colorful markets, a fruit market vegetable in flavors you have never tasted (mango !!!), many restaurants, and of course stunning beaches and insane dive sites.
So now that we understand what's so fun about Sinai, let's talk about what the retreat includes and what we're going to do there:
It is actually a vertical hole, at a depth of c. 130 m, in the coral reef that stretches along the coast . Between the hole and the open sea separates a vertical wall that ends in an arc at a depth of 56 meters below sea level where the hole connects to the outer coral wall.
Because the hole is "fenced" in coral walls, the conditions for diving are just perfect, with no currents and waves, which creates optimal conditions for free diving - and the spectacle itself is spectacular!
Free divers from all over the world come to this site to practice and compete in free diving.
