A Journey in African Kemetic Yoga

Welcome to African Kemetic Yoga, a transformative journey inspired by the rich heritage of ancient Africa along the Hapi River, known today as the Nile. The people who thrived in this land identified themselves as the Remetch, residing in Kemet, a term that signifies "fertile land." This ancient civilization gave birth to profound cultural, spiritual, and linguistic traditions that continue to resonate today.
In Kemet, a confederation of 40 nomes flourished, unifying the ancestral territories of Ta Shemaw (the upper land) and Ta Mehew (the lower land). This unification, known as Sema Tawy, represented a deep connection to the land and its heritage. The spoken language, Ranykemet, or the "speech of Kemet," alongside the sacred Medu Ntr—the "words of God" (commonly known as the hieroglyphics) —form the core of our study in African Kemetic Yoga.
Our program is designed to integrate history, language, and movement; where the postures you may recognize as yoga are steeped in ancient traditions that date back over 10,000 years. Participants will explore the meditative techniques, breathing practices, and spiritual frameworks that our ancestors preserved on temple walls, in papyri, and within their tombs.
African Kemetic Yoga is an African-centered approach to yoga and spirituality, offering a foundational journey into ancient African cosmology. This is more than a practice—it is a path to rediscover the wisdom of our ancestors and awaken the knowledge they left behind.
This journey is for those who seek to reconnect with their roots, gain knowledge from an ancient African perspective, and explore personal growth through yoga, meditation, breath work, and chanting.
Whether you're curious about African spirituality, seeking self-awareness, or aspiring to become a certified yoga instructor, African Kemetic Yoga invites you to embark on this remarkable journey.
Let us guide you back to the past to remember who you are, enabling you to step confidently into your future. Join us as we explore Ancient Wisdom — our Ancient Future.
