ABOUT US
YOGA | APNEA is the first Latin American school of yoga and freediving in Dahab, Egypt. It was founded with the idea of creating a professional yet welcoming space for those who want to begin or advance in these disciplines, with the option to practice them independently or in combination.
​
Dahab is internationally recognized for its calm waters, excellent visibility, and lack of currents, making it one of the world’s top spots for freediving. At the same time, the natural surroundings of the Red Sea and the Sinai Desert provide the perfect energy for yoga and meditation.
​
At our school, classes and courses are offered in a 1:1 format or in small groups, and we also organize women-only groups, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment for every student. We work under the standards of AIDA and Yoga Alliance, guaranteeing international quality in every training. Our instructors are freedivers with experience in dives beyond 50 meters and certified yoga teachers, which allows us to provide a strong and authentic approach.
Founded by South American instructors, Yoga | Apnea delivers all its activities in Spanish and English, bringing the warmth of Latin culture to every detail. Here you will find classes, courses, trainings, and events that combine sport and awareness, inviting you to explore in a unique way both the waters of the Red Sea and the Sinai Desert.

Fernando | Freediving Instructor
Fer is an AIDA-certified freediving instructor with experience in dives beyond 50 meters. His journey in the water began many years earlier, training in swimming both in pools and open water, which gave him a close, natural, and fluid relationship with the aquatic environment.
​
At Yoga | Apnea, Fer especially supports those who are beginning their freediving journey, conveying calm and safety from the very first contact. His approach is athletic, focused on technique and performance, but also integrates the connection with the sea as an essential part of the experience.

Each course and training he leads combines discipline, respect for safety, and a passionate vision of the ocean, inviting students to discover their own potential beneath the surface.
