In 2019, CNN broadcast a short documentary called 'Yoga in Egypt', in collaboration with Egypt's Ministry of Tourism. Kemetic yoga has contributed significantly to Egypt's wellness tourism, with the country's Ministry of Tourism promoting it internationally. A researcher from Chicago, Asar Hapi, spread the practice of Kemetic yoga by traveling across the US, while yoga master Yirser Ra Hotep trained and certified instructors, teaching 'slow, methodical and precisely angular' forms of Kemetic yoga. The mantras associated with Kemetic yoga are composed in ancient African languages. The development of the modern form of Kemetic yoga was started in the 1970s by claiming association with, translating and interpreting ancient hieroglyphic texts called Medu Neter.

As pharaoh represented the leader of the two lands, the symbol can be interpreted as uniting two human entities, body-mind and soul-spirit, for mastering the life force through the practice of yoga. The goal of the practice is said to be 'attaining divine spiritual wisdom' which is represented by the symbol of uraeus (upright Egyptian cobra) coming from the third eye of the pharaoh.

The movements in the practice of kemetic yoga is said to imitate the poses prescribed for attaining enlightenment, the highest spiritual level indicated by the neteru (Kemetic deities and nature spirits). The symbol asserts the 'use of breath as the life-force opening the energy centers along the spine and brain that enlighten human consciousness.' The Kemetic term for the practice is 'Smai Tawi', which means joining the lands of upper Kemet and lower Kemet, and is represented with gods Heru and Sebek tying ropes around the Smai symbol, which depicts spine and lungs. While historians have estimated that yoga originated in the Indus Valley around 3300 BCE, images resembling stretching and meditation poses ( asanas) which were found in Egypt are claimed to have predated this time period.
