What is Kemetic Yoga?

Kemetic yoga is a form of yoga that draws inspiration from the ancient Egyptian practices of physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation.

Key Principles of Kemetic Yoga:

  • Breath Control:  Emphasis is placed on deep, controlled breathing to enhance energy flow and promote healing. 
  • Physical Postures:  The postures are based on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and are designed to improve circulation, flexibility, and spinal alignment. 
  • Meditation:  Meditation is an integral part of Kemetic yoga, focusing on connecting with the inner self and the divine. 
  • Holistic Approach:  The practice emphasizes a holistic approach to well-being, encompassing physical, mental, and spiritual aspects. 
Benefits of Kemetic Yoga:
