Selket 2025 program

Flight with Egyptair from Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Zurich, or Vienna to Cairo. Arrival in Cairo and transfer to the hotel, dinner & overnight at the hotel.

Today we visit the necropolis of Saqarra, the step pyramid of Djoser, built by the ingenious architect Imhotep around 4700 years ago. Another highlight of the day is a visit to the mysterious Serapeum burial site, discovered in the 19th century, with gigantic stone sarcophagi for mummified "sacred bulls." The shape of the Bent Pyramid at Dahshur is unique. Experts debate whether the striking bend was intentional or a construction error. There's no doubt about the Red Pyramid: It owes its name to the color of the stone used.
To kick off our journey today, we'll have a relaxed discussion about the historical background of Egyptian yoga and its energetic and vital aspects. We'll discuss Egyptian symbolism, which we'll encounter everywhere on our journey. We'll then turn to Egyptian cosmology and the concepts of body, soul, and spirit, and their connection.
We complement small exercises of inner silence with basic physical exercises with the spine as the central vertical axis of the human being, which connects us energetically with heaven and earth.

Today we visit the Citadel of Salah El Din, with the Alabaster Mosque and Sultan Hasan Mosque. We will have dinner in the beautiful grounds of Al-Azhar Park, from which we can enjoy impressive views of the Citadel, the Alabaster Mosque, and parts of Cairo. After dinner, we will enjoy a dervish dance show.
We talk about the effect of frequencies and sound on the human system.
The dance of the dervishes, which we are privileged to experience, is a striking example of the connection between the higher realms and the human being that can arise through movement. In silent exercises, we experience the sound and effect of the ancient ritual instruments and vocalizations.
In yoga practice we devote ourselves to exercises for strength and stability.

Drive to Fayoum. Visit the Meidum Necropolis. We will inspect the interior of the Meidum Pyramid, built by King Senefro. Due to its construction method and history, the pyramid is considered a transition from the step pyramid to the true pyramid. In the afternoon, we will visit the mastaba and tomb of Rahotep (son of Sneferu) and his wife Nofret (here, their excellently preserved statues were found and can now be admired in the Giza Museum). We will also visit the tomb of Sneferu's son, Nefermaat (architect of the Meidum Pyramid), and his wife Itet. Return to Cairo.
Today we'll explore the function of natural and guided breathing within Egyptian yoga. We'll combine the exercises we've learned with breathing exercises, thereby expanding their effectiveness on the physical, vital, and energetic levels.
Today’s physical exercises focus on flexibility and rotation of the
spine and joints.

After breakfast, we'll visit the Giza Plateau. We'll explore the pyramid area and visit the one that's open to the public—the Pyramid of Chephren or Mykerinos—as well as private tombs on the plateau. Then we'll visit the Sphinx and the legendary Valley Temple of Chephren.

In the afternoon, we visit Sheikh Gamal, who is known for his mediumistic abilities but who owns a shop selling ancient Egyptian essences with healing properties.
Visiting him and having conversations with him are always impressive and leave a lasting impression on every participant. After dinner at the hotel, we prepare for an unforgettable night at Cheops' Pyramid.
Today we'll talk about various methods for opening our perceptions. Silent exercises help us consciously sense our own energy and the energy of our surroundings. Visualization exercises complement the exercises with additional aspects.
We prepare for our time in the Great Pyramid.

Early in the morning, we drive to the Great Pyramids. We spend two hours there. We have access to all the rooms in the pyramid, from the Rock Chamber to the Queen's Chamber and the King's Chamber.
Return to the hotel for breakfast. Rest of the day free.
Together, we will reflect on our time in the Great Pyramid. Under the influence of its special energy, we will practice the exercises of Egyptian yoga in a conscious way, as a yoga flow.

Today we visit the Egyptian Museum, which, with its wealth of art treasures, grave goods and also mysterious new exhibits (more than 100000 pieces), is an absolute highlight of any trip to Egypt.
At the end of our journey, we will discuss the topics that have moved us during our time together. We will conclude our Egyptian Yoga seminar with silent meditative exercises and a repetition of the yoga flow.
The certificate (AGPG) and the participation certificate for the completed training hours will be sent by post upon request.
