Michael Stewart | Sahara Yoga

An Arabic proverb says: The desert is clearing the soul.
Imaging you discover a new culture and you feel home. Imagine you practice Yoga and all around you is silence and pure Nature. Imagine you experience to wide of the stunning Sahara Desert and you are in the middle of it. Imagine you have everything in the middle of nowhere.

At the Sahara Yoga desert Camp in the middle of the dunes of Erg Chebbi in the Sahara desert you will find this place. The camp provides a place of peace, of love, of silence and comfort. You can let go of everything you no longer need and be with yourself, your soul and your heart in an absolutely amazing surrounding.

Come and feel the Sahara Yoga Feeling

In our time amidst the desert of Morocco we will share many practices of Yoga that will awaken the primal spirit deep within. Each day will begin with pranayama and meditations accompanied with awakening practices for the adventure filled days ahead. We will find ourselves deep in the desert surrounded my ancient sand dunes and families whose histories are written upon them. The entire adventure will be a deepening in your practices of Yoga and your intimate relationship to yourself and those around you. Shanta Vira Yoga is a practice of actively being human and in our time together we will have many opportunities to explore these possibilities. Come with an open mind and be prepared to leave with an open heart and new friends. Jai Śri Ma More Information on Michael Stewart: www.shantavirayoga.org

Michael J. Stewart is a teacher, nomad and creator of Shanta Vira Yoga. Born in Karachi to an Assamese mother and a Scottish-Irish father, he developed an early interest in a broad sense of humanity. His first initiation in to spirituality and esoteric practices came from his maternal grandmother, a healer who was deeply connected to her Hindu roots and as much, a counter-cultural rebel. Being raised by his athletic and disciplinarian father, he spent his youth building a relationship with the physical body through boxing, competitive powerlifting and bodybuilding. Michael has since lived, studied and traveled in over 30 countries.

Sahara Yoga is organizing Yoga Retreats especially in the Sahara Desert and also all over Marocco since 2007. We built our own desert camp in the middle of the Sahara Dunes of Erg Chebbi to provide a place of full stillness and silence. No Wifi, no phone but we guarantee that you will find a better connection. You will be in the middle of pure nature and the wide freedom of yourself. There you find everything. Sahara Yoga is a family based project founded by Barak Oussidi who was born in the desert an lives in Germany since 2001. With Sahara Yoga we build a gathering of different backgrounds and cultures to melt together as one. Experience an authentic travel experience close to the local people.
