Imagine spending seven days on a beautiful yacht in the middle of the colourful coral reef lagoon, practising daily yoga, meditation, pranayama classes and taking part in a range of activities that help you connect to others but most importantly to reconnect back with yourself.
That already sounds pretty transformational, but what makes this experience unique is that we also swim with WILD AND FREE dolphins every day! And together with the dolphins energy, a transformational container is created where old stories, patterns and habits come to light and where we feel empowered to let them go.
When you return home you will be be clear on who you are and what you want to do next. After unlocking your creativity, connecting to a state of flow and learning to trust again, you will be inspired to live a life of freedom and truth.
Yes, they really are wild and they choose to interact and connect with us out of their own free will. We will have daily morning, midday and afternoon dolphin time. We swim side by side with them and through our interaction with them, our heart opens and we begin to feel more of who we truly are. Be ready to experience a deeper sense of flow, play and love in your life.
Envision heaven on Earth and you will see Sataya. Here you can reconnect with nature, liberate yourself from your daily routine, escape the pressures of everyday life, and gain profound clarity about who you are and your life's purpose.
Nestled within the Red Sea is an underwater lagoon where beautiful Spinner Dolphins like to visit. This place holds high vibrations, time feels different and what was so important back on land, suddenly feels like a distant past. Here the illusions you and society has created are lifted, and you gain a new perspective on who you are and what you want in life. Immerse yourself in this enchanting portal and swim with wild dolphins, letting the outside world fade away.
When we are in Sataya, we learn to let go of control and go with the flow. Below is how a typical day may look like, but please note we go with the flow of the dolphins. If they are particularly playful and energetic we will take that opportunity and swim with them.

The most beautiful thing about being together on a boat is the community feeling; making friends for life and having meaningful, thought provoking conversations. There is always space to get away from the group to reflect or relax but supporting and challenging each other, is part of the transformational experience.
When we remove ourselves from our everyday life, internet, family and friends we may come face to face with our shadow, emotions, and true blue print for the first time. It can be sometimes overwhelming but the beauty of it all is that when we meet the dolphins, everything feels clear and easy. They help us to make the journey easier, combining our inner work with their playful energy creates a beautiful balance.
The boat has 12 twin cabins with individual air- condition, private bathrooms with hot water shower and toilets.
All Bedding & towels are provided, as well as 24/7, 220v electricity supply (European-style 2-pin electrical
wall sockets).
You will share your room with one other person, or if there is availability and for an extra fee you can have a private cabin.
There will be a buffet, three times a day where you can enjoy a rich variety of delicious food. Vegan, vegetarian, and fish/meat options are available. Between meals, you can replenish with snacks and fresh juice made of fruits of the day (the mango in Egypt is heavenly)!
Scuba Diving: Breathing underwater for the first time is a very special feeling. Sataya is the perfect place to try this out with calm water and shallow depths. But there is also a lot to see for those who want to explore further. You might find Nemo!

When we come face to face with a dolphin, we begin to understand their way of living. They teach us to surrender, to let go of control and to go with the flow. When we are out in the open Red Sea, we experience a glimpse of their freedom, what it's like to be a free dolphin and can begin to imagine what our life could be like if only we allowed ourselves the same freedom back on land. We watch how they take care of one another, observing their tight family pods and how they love to play, inspiring us to take life less seriously and to make each moment count.
Through the combination of yoga, swimming with dolphins and other carefully selected practices you will learn more about yourself, gain clarity on what is important to you and how you wish to live your life. You will also be reminded that you are never alone. We are all ONE.
Give your mind and body a break. Live on a luxurious yacht for 7 days, outside of your usual routine and discover wellbeing practices that you can apply at home to improve your quality of life. This is much more than just a "yoga" retreat.
You will be picked up from your hotel or airport and together we drive through the coastal and desert landscapes to Hamata Port, where our boat will be waiting for us. You will check in on the boat in the late afternoon, settle in, have dinner and meet your new friends.
Together we will then dive in the inner world to our root chakra and ground our physical bodies in the here and the now. Through a gentle yin yoga and meditation practice we will connect to the earth, Sataya and the energy of the dolphins that are awaiting our arrival.
We start our day with a Hatha Yoga class focusing on unlocking creativity and embracing emotions. We will end our class with a heart opening meditation in preparation with our first meeting with the dolphins. Today is all about connecting to your body and tendency to control. We will dissolve energetic blocks that keep us stuck, so that we can go more with the flow.
Connecting to your courage, your personal power and fire within, we will flow with a Hatha Vinyasa Fusion flow. We explore your personal boundaries and have our first dolphin sharing circle! You can look forward to a transformative conscious connected breathwork class at sunset, which will boost your personal power and give your clarity on who you are where you would like to go. After dinner we meet for our meditation under the naked sky where you will connect to the universe galaxies and stars.
We begin at sunrise with a heart-opening yoga session with backbends and chest openers. Today we go deeper into our heart, connection with others and are guided out of our ego and into love and kindness to ourselves and the world around us. We will connect to our body through dance and a cacao ceremony.
A expressive and communicative yoga practice with pranayama to cleanse stuck energy in the throat. Today is all about our communication with ourselves and others, hearing and being heard, working with sound and our voice. Find your voice, speak your truth, and feel confident to express yourself.
Begin your day with a yoga class for enhancing intuition and awareness. Today is all about discovering your wildest dreams, and what is standing in your way of getting to them. We learn to trust the beauty of life, others and yourself; all with the help of a floating meditation. We begin to tune into the changes that have happened within you this week, dive deeper with our second transformative breathwork session and end the day with a manifestation meditation.
Our last yoga class where we bring it all together and connect with higher consciousness. We being our integration process, supporting you with your transition back to life on land; allowing you to feel empowered and strong in the new body, mind and spirit that has been created this week. A closing ceremony where your journey will be celebrated and honoured.
In the early hours of the morning we journey back to land and depart from the boat after breakfast. You are walking away with hundreds of beautiful memories and moments, friends for life, a stronger connection to yourself, others and dolphins; and a box full of tools that will help you on your journey onwards.
Transportation will be arranged for those who are travelling back home or we continue our post retreat tour to Luxor and Cairo.

--------------------
When planning and hosting my first trip, I had no plans of repeating the retreat. It was a dream come true and I couldn’t have asked for a more magical experience. Yet, after my first dolphin encounter I knew I had to come back and returned 4 months later with another group of ten people. I feel it is my purpose and destiny to combine my love for yoga with my love for dolphins, and to bring as many souls who are ready to experience the love that the dolphins give and are wanting to evolve beyond their conditioning to the most magical place on Earth. I believe everyone should be given the chance to live life with an open heart, and the dolphins will help you do that. This will be my 3rd Retreat in the Red Sea with the Dolphins.
Spend 7 days in a beautiful Dolphin reef in the middle of the Red Sea, where you will experience an awakening and connection to your soul.
Together we will be shifting your
awareness to who you are, raising your vibrations and increasing your ability to experience love and joy within.
Once you come eye to eye with the dolphins, nothing will ever be the same and you will walk away with a feelings of wholeness and inner peace within.
During our sharing circles on the boat, it has come to light that whilst in the water with the dolphins, participants experience moments of pure clarity, an abundance of love, a deep rooted feeling of belonging and a dissolution of the ego. They find answers to questions they had spent months or even years contemplating and some even experience the feeling of their hearts physically expanding and energy flowing. I, amongst the others, have experienced this overwhelming, divine love that the dolphins choose to share with us. There are no words to describe it, only that it feels as though nothing really matters, only the here and the now with them. And isn’t this what so many of us are searching for? The ability to be fully present and in complete acceptance with all that has happened, is happening and will happen. The dolphins show us that the most important moment in life is now, as they help us taste the essence of the present moment with their wild, free spirit.
There is a fundamental difference in the experience that you will have when choosing to interact with wild dolphins and those that are being held in captivity. We cannot “swim” with wild dolphins, unless the dolphins choose to swim with us. It is they who decide on the closeness of our interaction; which makes our connection with them authentic. We cannot help but be in total awe of their trust as they come to us, at an arm's length with their young. We are entering their world and they are welcoming us into their home.
Wild dolphins choose to connect and interact with us, perhaps out of curiosity, love or because they intuitively know that they can help us heal our physical, emotional and spiritual wounds. During one of the retreats, a girl who has recently undergone a serious stomach surgery was swimming around a pod of dolphins. Suddenly one dolphin came close and touched her belly with its mouth and then swam away. Of course we could say this was a pure coincidence, but there is research that points to the effects that a dolphin’s ultrasound can have life-altering effects on people with terminal illnesses, mental disabilities and has been shown to strengthen the immune system. Dolphins are highly intelligent beings, who have the ability to help us become better versions of ourselves. Yet, they also deserve to be wild and free, and to have the choice of how and if they interact with us. Choosing to seek a connection with a dolphin, should always be done so in the wild and not in captivity.
If you can see yourself on the boat with us.
If you can see yourself in the water with the dolphins.
If this speaks to your soul.
Get in touch. I'd love to help you make this happen for yourself.
I look forward to welcoming you in our dolphin community.
