The camp is designed to allow a natural flow of desert energy with a stunning vista for yoga & meditation practice. As a fully facilitated camp with bio toilets, fresh water showers, separate kitchen, sleeping quarters with privacy, you will feel as you are glamping, not roughing it in the traditional desert camp way. Once we reach Zen Camp, you will be welcomed by herbal Bedouin tea and orientated to camp and meet your yoga teacher for the next 3 days. A group session will start the retreat, where your yoga teacher will go through the journey you are about to start and listen to each person for practice level, styles and what they want to gain from such a retreat. All meals are served at camp with a menu tailored to suit each individual and dietary requirements, with an emphasis on healthy eating. The first yoga session will start around 4pm and commence with shavasana at sunset. Dinner is served around the camp fire and you can continue to enjoy the yoga safari program before heading to bed, falling asleep under the stars.

The yoga style and program will differ with each departure depending on your teachers practice, although all our yoga teachers are specialize in a combination of styles and technique. After brunch you have the chance to do a 3hr trek into the surrounding canyons, plateaus, dunes and valleys, to absorb the tranquillity and digest your own feelings and listen to your inner voice.

Dinner is served around the camp fire and you enjoy another evening of talks and relaxation before heading to bed, falling asleep under the stars.
