Shereen.
The woman behind SoSheDares.
Shereen El-Refai
Yoga Teacher, Writer, and Adventurer
I created SoSheDares in 2021 with a simple intention: to inspire women to venture out into the world on their own, to embrace the unknown, and to discover just how much they’re capable of.
But somewhere along the way, SoSheDares became something more.
It became a reflection of my own journey toward developing lasting peace. A space to share stories, celebrate the beauty of being human, nurture curiosity, and find connection in a world that can sometimes feel so disconnected.
I’ve learned that freedom isn’t always about how far we travel or where we go. Sometimes, it’s about finding the courage to be ourselves, to begin again, and to make peace with where we are.
Since 2023, I’ve been traveling the world and sharing the practices that have helped me find my way back to myself. Yoga, meditation, poetry, and movement have become ways for me to explore the world within, just as travel has allowed me to explore the world around me.
Today, I call Dahab, Egypt, home. Here, I teach yoga, meditation, and breathwork, and organize group trips and retreats that bring people together through adventure, culture, and meaningful connection.
My intention isn’t to tell you how to live or who to become. It’s to share what I’ve learned, hold space for your own discoveries, and offer practices that might help you cultivate more joy, presence, and peace in your everyday life.
I believe we all have something to teach one another, and that the most beautiful experiences often begin when we open ourselves to the unknown.
Whether our paths cross in the water, somewhere in the mountains, or over a conversation that lasts for hours I hope SoSheDares inspires you to live a little more freely, love a little more deeply, and remain endlessly curious.
If you’d like to connect, I’d love to hear from you.
