Why is everyone in Dubai suddenly talking about yoga studios with infrared heat, sky‑high rooftops, and moonlit beach flows? Let me take you on a personal stroll through some of the most exceptional yoga classes in Dubai. You’ll feel like we’re chatting over coffee, and by the end you’ll be ready to roll out your mat and breathe deeply in city‑softened surroundings.
Our www.few.ae editor has explored these spaces firsthand, and I weave her insights throughout. Now, let’s dive right in.
YOGA LA VIE
Flow with Marina Views and Reformer Vibes
Slide into a Vinyasa session on the Palm‑fringed Marina. Yoga La Vie blends reformer Pilates with flowing postures, creating a hybrid that tones and soothes. Clearly, instructors guide with subtle encouragement, and the setting—yachts just beyond the window—adds something special. For AED 135 drop‑ins, it’s a small premium for a big feeling of calm.
DRYP
Infrared‑Heated Yoga for Detox and Glow
Dryp in Dubai Marina is infrared‑heated, which warms your body from the inside out. That kind of heat helps muscles stretch deeper and promotes perspiration without stifling the room. Classes such as Hot Yin cost AED 125–135, and you’ll find tips to arrive early, hydrate, and pace yourself on the “newbie info” section—your sweat mates will thank you. Our www.few.ae editor loved the darkened candlelit room feeling like a Marina meditation cocoon.
SHIMIS YOGA
Neon‑Lit Box, Healing Vinyasa, Creative Cooling
Alserkal Avenue’s Shimis brings a youthful twist. They host “The Box” class—neon lights, warm flow, upbeat vibe—pure electricity in motion. Intro offers at AED 80 and AED 135 drop‑ins make it a flexible tryout. Memberships start at AED 1,350 for 15 classes monthly. Instructors like Amanda are known to be “attentive and calming,” perfect for someone easing back into practice.
KARMA YOGA DUBAI
Healing Workshops Beyond the Mat
Marina’s Karma studio mixes hot classes with wellness workshops—imagine sound baths, gong rituals, even Reiki. Drop‑in sessions hover around AED 120, and a 10‑class package (AED 1,050–1,200) often includes access to those extras. Expect thoughtful facilitators pairing intention with poses for true mind‑body softness.
TRIDENT WELLNESS CENTRE
Marina Mastery in Ashtanga, Power, Prenatal
Trident Wellness Centre offers variety—Ashtanga, prenatal, power yoga—right on the Bayside Promenade. Drop‑ins are AED 120; unlimited monthly packages start around AED 899. Small group sizes mean you’ll get personal tweaks and connection to instructors who treat breath as carefully as you do your balance.
YOFIT HOT STUDIOS
Heats High, Atmosphere Higher
The Greens hosts YoFit Hot Studios using traditional hot‑yoga environments. The three‑day unlimited intro for AED 99 is a friendly initiation. Instructors earn high praise for kindness and care. Classes brim with warmth—both infrared and human.
LIFESTYLE YOGA (SHANGRI‑LA, SZR)
Yin Under the Moon, Chakras in the Sky
Luxury meets spirituality at Lifestyle Yoga on Sheikh Zayed Road. Full‑moon Yin classes cost around AED 65; their 6‑day Chakra Awakening Challenge runs AED 899. If you’re after retreat‑style experiences within the city pulse, this hits both notes.
AURA SKYPOOL
Hot Yoga 280 Metres Above Burj Downtown
The Palm Tower’s Aura SkyPool classes take place 210–280 m above ground. Opt for sunrise hot yoga at AED 180–280 (with breakfast included). Yoga with skyline and sea breeze? Heart = melted. Plus, the Instagram views here are epic .

TALISE SPA AT MADINAT JUMEIRAH
Sunset Beach Hatha Near Burj Al Arab
Sometimes you want your yoga barefoot in sand. Talise Spa offers twice-weekly sunset Hatha at Madinat Jumeirah for AED 92, and full‑moon beach yoga at AED 96. Expect sea soundtracks and magical Burj Al Arab-backdrops.
SEVA EXPERIENCE
Plant‑Based Flow by the Beach
Seva Experience doubles as a yoga café on Jumeirah Beach Road. Hatha, prenatal, chakra‑healing classes start at AED 130. Pair it with plant‑based bites post‑session and feel nourished inside out.
THE LOST CHAMBERS AQUARIUM YOGA
Quiet Poses by Marine Life
The Lost Chambers in Atlantis, Palm Jumeirah, offers “underwater” yoga—mat-side by the aquarium tanks. For AED 160, you’ll move alongside 65,000 fish. Unusual, calming, and Instagram-worthy.
CIEL SPA AT SLS DUBAI
Terrace Classes with Skyline Perspective
Sitting on the 69th floor of SLS Business Bay, Ciel Spa offers yoga at AED 130 per session. Expect breathtaking views and spa discounts if you linger post-class.
Choosing Your Studio with Intent
If deep stretch and detox matter most, go for infrared—Dryp or YoFit.
Love rooftop or beachside serenity? Aura, Talise, Lost Chambers all deliver unique views.
Want creativity and light? Shimis’s Box class packs heat and fun.
Budget-wise, drop‑ins average AED 120–140, but first‑timer offers at AED 65 or AED 80 help you explore. Packages like Shimis’s AED 1,350‑2,700 or Trident’s AED 899 give savings if you’re regular.
Local rules: Most studios apply 5 % VAT. Hot classes may require waivers. Cancellation windows of 12–24 hours are common—check app details.
Attire tip: Lightweight, sweat‑wicking activewear is a must. Mats and water are usually provided, but carrying your own towel helps.
Cultural note: Dubai studios welcome modesty as you enter. Yogi attire inside the studio follows global norms.
More than Just a Workout
In Dubai, yoga blends fitness with experience. Studios like Karma and Lifestyle add healing rituals. Beach sessions at Talise or Aura feel like mini‑retreats. Even airport‑close Paramguru‑led breathwork or matcha‑paired flows in Al Quoz bring community vibes.
Here’s a stat you might like: infrared heated yoga can help increase blood flow by up to 30 % and boost flexibility up to 20 %—making those bind poses feel smoother than desert sand.
What Our www.few.ae editor Says
As a seasoned local, she describes her sunrise infrared Vinyasa at Dryp like this: “It felt like the Marina lit me from within.” She also savors Talise’s sunset class. That blend of studio structure and natural beauty gives real balance.
Your Next Step
Pick a style that suits your rhythm. Prefer structured heat? Try Dryp or YoFit. Crave alfresco calm? Book Aura or Talise. Seek creative energy? Shimis and its healing flows await.
Once you pick, use concessions like intro offers or class packs. Book early to avoid no‑shows. Aim for morning—when the city still yawns and your breath can lead.
I hope this guide helped you feel at ease moving and grounding in Dubai. No matter where you start, know that each pose here blooms with local flavor.
