1. Karma Yoga
| Criteria | Ratings |
| Quality of Teaching | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Location | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Atmosphere | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
A yoga academy, as well as an art gallery, Karma Yoga, is a scared space for those who want to embark on a spiritual journey without having to hop on a plane and fly east.
Its yogi teachers are fully certified to instruct students of any level — they even train future teachers looking to help others learn the beauty of yoga.
We love how hands-on the teacher was during our session. She would do the pose with us, and when we hold it, she’d go around and help us adjust our poses.
She spoke in such calming hush tones and paced the class slowly — almost too slow for us at some points.
The studio is located in Dubai Marina, which is bustling but has this relaxed undertone that you notice mostly around the coastline area.
And while it’s easy to dismiss the location to be inappropriate because it is in the middle of a busy neighborhood, the studio is actually located on the 33rd floor of Marina Plaza.
Doing yoga while enjoying the sunset behind the Dubai skyline was surreal. It added a whole new layer of peace to the whole class.
The statues, crystals, and wood carvings also helped round up the spiritual vibe that enveloped the studio during our class.
We appreciate that art is utilized to accentuate the intention of doing yoga and complete the space’s energy.
All in all, Karma Yoga is one of our favorites because besides the fully competent instructors and beautifully located studio, the energy that surrounds its classes really puts the class ahead of the others.
Pros
- Offers teacher training
- Art gallery elevates the atmosphere
- Centrally located
Cons
- Slow-paced class may not be for everyone
- Surrounding area is busy and often noisy
2. Zen Yoga Dubai
| Criteria | Ratings |
| Quality of Teaching | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Location | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Atmosphere | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
Home to the widest range of yoga and pilates classes, Zen Yoga has a class for everyone no matter what their skill level is — from popular forms of yoga like Hatha Ashtanga and Vinyasa, to lesser known ones like Yoga Nidra and Jivamukti.
And what we love about this studio is that it offers prenatal and postnatal classes, kid’s yoga, and mom/baby classes, innovating yoga as an activity that bonds familial relations together.
It has over 28 yoga and pilates instructors, all certified to teach whatever class they handle. It also flies in internal teachers for teacher training, which really takes it up a notch compared to teacher training classes from other yoga studios.
We found the Vinyasa class we attended was perfectly paced, but after a few sessions, we noticed that the classes just repeated themselves and didn’t really offer variety in what was taught.
As for its location, we attended its class at the main studio in Dubai Media City, which is not necessarily a busy region in terms of foot and vehicle traffic.
It is crowded in the sense that the area is jam-packed with office buildings, which is a perfect climate for yoga studios.
The media industry is a high-pressure fast-paced industry, and yoga is definitely a great activity to help these people unwind and disconnect from their jobs.
We love how the studio feels so spacious, too. Despite the number of students we went to class with, we felt like there was so much space for us to breathe in and out.
The floor-to-ceiling glass windows helped extend that space mentally and let so much natural light in that complemented the warm wooden flooring.
Although, we found the space to be lacking in personality or accents that help give the space some sense of focus.
Despite that, Zen Yoga Dubai’s strongest argument as to why it has the best yoga classes in the metro is the range of yoga types it offers.
No other yoga studio can match the versatility that this studio shows to its students, and that is definitely why it’s on our list.
Pros
- Offers the widest range of classes for yoga and pilates
- Instructor paces the class very well
- Studio is spacious and well-lit
Cons
- Classes can get repetitive
- Lacks interior styling
Customer Reviews
Great studio for beginners
“I am new to Dubai and am new to yoga. I’m so happy to see Zen Yoga provides many opportunities to learn. Many studios forget about us beginners. Zen doesn’t. Thank you to the management team for understanding yoga needs to be available to beginners. Also studio very clean, friendly and well organized. My friend and I have found a new home!” —Jane Lawson, Google Reviews
Helped me advance my yoga skills
“Zen Yoga is an authentic & professional studio. The best in Dubai by far! It’s 3 locations in Media City, Emirates Hills and Umm Suqeim all offer a variety of classes adapted to levels and style preferences. Teachers are highly qualified, recognized in the yoga world and forever encouraging you to deepen your practice. Zen Yoga is a big part of my Dubai life, thanks to their wonderful team!” —Melanie Lapointe, Google Reviews
3. Dryp Sweat Hub
| Criteria | Ratings |
| Quality of Teaching | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Location | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Atmosphere | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
Combining Yoga with Hot Fitness, Dryp has been at the forefront of a new fitness movement in Dubai.
Its latest infrared heat technology maintains a consistent temperature throughout the workout that helps you sweat and achieve benefits like detoxing, weight loss, glowing skin, mental power, and many more.
And by sweat, it really means it. We found ourselves drenched in it by the end of the class.
We found the process to be highly challenging, but the after-effects did wonders. We felt so empowered and comfortable in our own skin after the class, and we had fun reaching that mindset too.
The studio offers a variety of fun yoga classes like hot yoga sculpting, hot yoga vinyasa, hot barre, and many more.
We love that while yoga classes are supposed to induce serenity and peace, Dryp changes it up and utilizes yoga and hot fitness to induce energy and helped lift our spirits up.
The instructors are lively and really helped us get into this lively yoga that we did not expect.
The studio is also located in Dubai Marina, which has a more relaxed vibe despite its busyness. It’s inside Orra Marina Tower, which means it’s secluded from vehicle traffic noise although doesn’t really offer much of a view.
The studio really fits the whole personality of the classes it provides. The quirky and cute illustrations found throughout the whole studio provided lots of personality that teased the fun we got from the classes.
And although we didn’t really like the blue tint on the windows because it had a visually dizzying effect on us, the light that it lets in added a layer of calmness throughout the class.
All in all, if you’re looking to get into yoga but being calm and serene isn’t what you’re after, Dryp gives you an energetic yoga experience that’s unlike any other.
Pros
- Combines yoga with hot fitness
- Instructors are energetic and approachable
- Studio is well-lit and full of personality
Cons
- Surrounding area outside can be noisy
- Doing yoga with heating technology may be too much for newbies
Customer Reviews

Great value for money
“My favourite place to work out in Dubai!

I have definitely seen a progression in my own fitness and health coming to the studio and all of the instructors are highly motivating and knowledgeable about their work. Keep it up guys 🙂” —Gabriela Doran, Google Reviews
4. Yoga House
| Criteria | Ratings |
| Quality of Teaching | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Location | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Atmosphere | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
Yoga House has quickly established itself as a highly respected yoga center in the city. It calls itself a Breathing Community that aims to help its clients practice and connect with themselves.
We love how it’s notable why, in the span of just 3 years, it has become one of the trusted yoga studios in the city.
The reason behind that is mostly because of the quality of teaching it provides. We love that its lead yoga instructors have always been connected with their spirituality ever since they were young.
All of them have also undergone numerous certifications and training from all around the world, making them one of the most credible batches of yogi instructors in Dubai.
We also love that the studio often organizes yogi trips like holding a retreat in the desert or a trip to the Himalayas to learn the skill from its roots.
Its main branch in The Greens is one of our favorite locations out of all the yoga studios.
The walkability and lush greenery in the area just put us in the mindset that we want to have before a yoga class.
However, it is kind of geographically separated from the main avenues, which makes it inconvenient if you’re using public transportation to go to the studio.
Despite that, The Greens plays an important role in the studio’s atmosphere. It’s the quietness that the lack of vehicular traffic brings that transports us when we attend a class at Yoga House.
All in all, the studio remains uncontested when it comes to the professionalism and capabilities of its instructors.
Learning yoga becomes even more compelling when the location lends itself to helping students unwind before classes and get them into the right headspace.
Pros
- Certified and professionally trained instructors
- Located in a walkable and lush neighborhood
- Quiet and relaxing studio and exterior
- Organizes yogi trips
Cons
- Location is hard to go to via public commute
Customer Reviews
Doing yoga with them is something I’ll always be grateful for
“The desert bliss retreat by Yoga House was one of the nicest experiences I’ve had in the UAE. The camp in Maliha desert was very well prepared, fresh air, clear sky, energising yoga and sound meditation sessions, breathtaking sunset and sunrise, quality time with beautiful souls. I recommend it for anyone looking to disconnect away from the noise of busy city life.”—Zeina Kourki, Google Reviews
A lovely yogi community
“A lovely yoga studio in the heart of the Greens.
Yoga House also organise small retreats – I’ve been to one of these in the desert, which was a great combination of yoga, gong meditation, stargazing, delicious dinner & a beautiful sunrise. Well thought through and with some very approachable teachers, the experience was a relaxing yet invigorating break for anyone looking to get away from the city and getting to know some the team behind Yoga House!” —Konstantin von Wedel, Google Reviews
5. Inspire
| Criteria | Ratings |
| Quality of Teaching | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Location | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
| Atmosphere | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
Going beyond yoga as an exercise but treating it as a lifestyle that cultivates balance in life — that is what Inspire aims to do.
We love that the principle of this studio is not about eliminating indulgent experiences in life, but rather helping its students balance that out through doing yoga.
Elisa, the lead yoga instructor and one of the founders of the studio, is qualified in Hot, Yin, Swing, and Hatha yoga; Pilates Mat 1, Mat 1 Small Apparatus, and Mat 2; and is a Les Mills BodyBalance instructor.
The studio offers numerous types of classes from Sunrise flow sessions, Vinaya flow, and strengthening flow, to kids yoga, inferno hot pilates, and Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior classes.
The main studio is located in a high-end residential-tourist area of Al Manara. We’re not really big fans of this location because it is intentionally less accessible to preserve the exclusivity of the area.
But the place is at least, quiet and mostly walkable despite the lack of greenery, which makes it pointless to walk around in the middle of the day.
As for the atmosphere of the studio, we love that while it still focuses heavily on achieving a state of calm and peace, there was something about the space that also energized us.
Whether it’s the purple brick wall or the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, we are not sure, but we left that class feeling like we can still go for a run.
All in all, while it’s not the most accessible studio, those who can drive down to it can treat themselves to a great yoga experience with Inspire.
Pros
- Offers numerous yoga classes
- Certified and professionally trained instructors
- Energizing atmosphere
Cons
- Location is inaccessible via public commute
- Area lacks trees which makes it hard to walk around in
Customer Reviews

Perfect studio for first timers
“I have to admit being a first timer in Yoga I certainly chose the perfect center. Inspire not only has one of the greatest instructors but overall environment, and staff are positive. They continue to help, and support me on a daily basis to choose suitable classes for my needs and that has truly made a huge difference for me physically and mentally.” —Maryam Alhashimi, Google Reviews
6. Maya Blu Yoga Studio
| Criteria | Ratings |
| Quality of Teaching | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Location | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Atmosphere | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
Maya Blu is a yoga studio in Dubai that provides a serene Shala with delicate tones. It was unique that their studio is infused with a combination of frequencies to enhance your experience with crystal bowl sound.
It’s also worth noting that their facilities are typically kept at 23 degrees, making for a comfortable and well-managed yoga environment.
What we liked best about them is that they tailor each session to your specific needs. They also provide a diverse range of yoga classes from which to choose, which we appreciate because customers are not limited to a few options.
We would also like to mention that they have a convenient online booking system where you can book classes, rent the studio, or book a trial class.
They also have an application for Android and iOS users to view available yoga workshops, group activities, and exclusive discounts.
Now, it would’ve been a good addition if they also had yoga classes for kids, making them a good choice for families. Even so, we appreciate that they’re transparent with their rates, allowing consumers to budget ahead.
Overall, we believe that Maya Blu offers one of the best yoga classes in Dubai, as they provide a wide selection of yoga classes that can fit almost all skill levels.
Pros
- Comfortable studio
- Convenient online booking system
- Dedicated application
- Custom yoga classes
- Wide range of yoga classes
Cons
- No yoga classes for kids

7. Meow Yoga
| Criteria | Ratings |
| Quality of Teaching | 5/5 |
| Location | 5/5 |
| Atmosphere | 5/5 |
Meow Yoga is one of our most exciting options for your next yoga class in Dubai.
We commend that they have a diverse team of experts trained to teach different styles of yoga, pilates, and meditation. This includes Hatha, Vinyasa, Power, Gentle, and Yin yoga, as well as mat Pilates, guided meditations, and sound healing.
In our opinion, these options are valuable because they come with varying benefits that would suit many clients’ preferences. We think that even if you get used to one type of yoga, there’s always another one to explore.
Additionally, we appreciate that their yoga classes have increasing levels of difficulty. They host a variety of wellness classes, and private classes at clients’ houses, and group classes at different yoga studios around Dubai or at Kite Beach on weekends.
Yoga enthusiasts may start with the basics, build strength and flexibility, work on advanced techniques, or just enjoy some well-deserved “me time.”
But if you’re a social butterfly, we suggest looking into their group class schedule instead.
Most of the yoga group sessions last 60 to 90 minutes. They’re also highly accessible because Meow Yoga is open daily.
Pros
- Available every day
- Diverse yoga, pilates, and meditation instructors
- Caters to different levels of expertise
- Plenty of services to choose from
Cons
8. GFX Group Fitness Experience

| Quality of Teaching | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Location | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Atmosphere | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
Another great option for your next yoga class in Dubai is GFX Group Fitness Experience.
They have internationally certified trainers, so we think that their yoga classes are safe and held to high standards.
Besides their wide array of classes, we love that they can help with various goals, whether it’s about losing weight, toning up, improving flexibility, or strengthening the body.
We’re also delighted by their high octane, energetic music. This fitness gym is particular about making every session fun and exciting.
Those who can’t or don’t want to leave their homes may view their Zoom livestream, too. In our opinion, their accessibility attracts more prospects and encourages them to stay fit at their own pace.
Yoga enthusiasts may also use their free GFX app. This makes the whole process of booking and confirming classes more seamless from anywhere you are.
We also commend the fact that they let clients pay with SPOTII. Through this option, payments are spread across 4 installments with no interest.
Still, a few clients we spoke with think their pricing is a little expensive.
Should you be interested, GFX Group Fitness Experience is open daily. Just take note of their shorter hours during the weekends.
Pros
- Qualified trainers with international certifications
- Provides Zoom fitness livestreams
- Clients may book via their app
- Offers a flexible payment option
- Their gym is open every day
Cons
- Rates may be a tad costly
