Yoga is good for the mind, body and soul. And Dubai has several yoga classes that can not help you stay in shape but also heal you mentally. However, if you are looking forward to adding some quirk and fun to your yoga session, then here are five quirky sessions that you must try in Dubai.
1. Underwater Yoga
Water babies out there- if you want to have some fun while making your health, then you have to check out this 60-minute session at Atlantis Lost Chambers Aquarium. The one-hour session is followed by 30-minutes of meditation to keep you relaxed and calm. Experience serenity, and you watch the fishes glide by from 8 Am to 9 30 Am. The session costs AED 175- you can call or book the class online.
2. Yoga In The Sky
Well, not literally, but doing yoga on the 124th floor of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa is as good as doing it in the sky. You can practice your salutations from the tallest building in the world every Tuesday and Friday. The one and half hour session starts at 7 AM and ends at 8 30 AM. While the yoga will help you calm down, it is the stunning view that’ll uplift your mood instantly. The class costs AED 149, and you can book the slot at Coredirection. com
3. The Box Yoga
Box Yoga is a new form of yoga that you sure have never experienced before. With flashing lights, loud music and temperature set between 26 to 32 degrees, you get to go with the flow and set it all out. With Vinyasa yoga moves such as plank pose, you surely will sweat out all those toxins. The first-class costs AED 50, and it’s held weekly at Shimis Yoga, Alserkal Avenue.
4. Swing Yoga
Swing Yoga, which is also known as aerial or anti-gravity yoga, looks quite gram-worthy, but it’s not simple. However, if you want to try something new, then this one must be on your list. Swing yoga involves working with the fabric to hold poses such as headstands and forward bends, all without over-stressing your joints. It provides the perfect cocoon in which you can gently sway during the end of session savasana. Excited to try this? Well, the single class costs AED 105, and you can take them in Pole Fit Dubai at Dubai Marina.
5. Yoga at Top Golf
Dubai’s most popular new joint, Topgolf, is great for golfing, but how about doing Yoga there, sound’s fun right? Well, you can now enjoy yoga, on its grassy outfield every Friday morning in collaboration with Alserkal Avenue’s yoga studio Shimis Yoga. The 50-minute session not only teaches you various techniques but also lets you enjoy views of Dubai Marina.
