5 of the best yoga classes in Dubai to try this summer

Less screentime, more movement. Here’s where to roll out your mat this summer

They say movement is medicine, but it comes in many forms, and we’re all built differently. What works for one body might not work for another. Some of us need intensity, others find everything they need in a quiet flow. And for many, yoga is where it all comes together – a way to stretch, slow down, reset, and breathe through whatever the week throws at you.

Here are some of the best yoga classes in Dubai to check out this summer.
