Ra

Come move your body to the tale of Ra: one of the oldest and most powerful deities in the Egyptian pantheon. Ancient Egyptians believed it was the sun god's duty to travel across the sky everyday, bringing life and light to all beings. Yet he paid the nightly price, dipping his boat into the underworld where he battled the deadly serpent Apep every night, often with assistance from his daughter Bastet, and Set, the god of chaos. 

Prepare yourself for a journey through sun salutations, boat variations, and the ultimate quest for balance.
