Yoga is a Hindu spiritual practice & discipline focusing on breath control, meditation, and the adoption of specific body postures -reflecting incredible flexibility-, practiced for its health and relaxation effects.
People mistakenly believe that all yoga workouts are the same -I myself thought so- before I started to practice its different types -still I am not good with the names, and types-, however I noticed that some of them require agility, others focus on increasing flexibility, and some others are all about controlling your breathing, mind and thoughts.
This is a list of places; to practice yoga and meditation around Egypt, to go beyond borders for a yoga retreat, or to learn how on how to improve your spiritual life, homeopathy –a medical philosophy and practice based on the idea that the body has the ability to heal itself-, energy and crystal healing.
