The first half of 2023 is almost behind us, and it feels like May took an entire year to go by. At this point, all any of us want to do is pack our bags and go to the beach. Unfortunately, it’s not always that easy, but we all deserve some time to rest and take care of ourselves every once in a while. Nothing says relaxation quite like yoga and meditation, so to help you disconnect from the whirlwind that is everyday life, we’ve curated a list of five yoga and meditation workshops in Cairo and retreats for the lucky ones who get to travel!
