Innergy Recalibration: An embodied nourishing experience with Chocolako
Egypt
April 17 - 24, 2022
Join us on a 7 night, 8 day traveling yoga retreat ADzenTURE through the ancient world of Egypt with international yoga teacher Chocolako. Together, we will explore the Great Pyramids of Giza and sights and sounds of Cairo, set sail across the Nile in a traditional Dahabeya boat to discover the magic within the temples of Luxor and Karnak, and venture 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, Chocolako will be leading us through a daily yoga practice to nourish and recalibrate our mind, body and soul!
