Ananda Yoga Center: Opinions

Negative experience: The people running this yoga place are so unprofessional! I have booked a class for prenatal yoga at 16:15 today, I drove there 15 mins before the class to realize that their doors are closed and no one even notified us that they are closed or that the class has been canceled! They are so unprofessional which I personally would never book with them and would stick with Shimis for yoga in Dubai! Hope this message will reach Ananda so that they realize that people here have other things to do in life and our time is precious! If they want to cancel a booking, they can simply send a message message!

Hello Natasha. We're sorry you had this experience. You booked through a third party and they do not provide us with your contact details, unfortunately. So we could not contact you directly. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we will follow up with the third party platform as they should notify you when there's a change to a class. Perhaps you did not receive the notification, or it was never sent by them.. We hope you'll peacefully enjoy your practice anywhere you go

Fantastic experience: As yoga beginner I’m interested in discovering new places around my area for yoga. I had evening relaxing yoga at Ananda yoga center. It was very light and relaxing practice great after a long day at work.

Fantastic experience: It has been over two weeks since i joined here and i keep asking myself as to why i didnt start earlier. This studio has a very beautiful, calm and a refreshing energy. The trainers are kind, patient and take personal care to ensure we do it right. I can find myself getting better with every passing day. I'd also like to mention Chinmayi and the healing energy she has around her. It feels absolutely refreshing to be trained by her.

Fantastic experience: Ananda Yoga is a sanctuary of peace and authenticity in the madness of city life, a little piece of home. If you’re looking for a studio and team which stays true to the essence of traditional yoga, this is it. The studio has an exceptional team of teachers like Anand ji, Elie, Praveen and others, and Swami Govindananda and other gurus’ regular visits keep us connected to the wisdom. Regular satsangs, meditations and other events are also beautiful. The studio is a lovely calm space, and I highly recommend it if you’re looking to start or continue your yoga practice.

Fantastic experience: A healing journey, inner self-discovery, and a continuous learning process, words are powerless to express my gratitude to the amazing instructors I have met at Ananda Yoga Center. Beyond the physical practice, classes incorporate breathwork, meditation, and mindful techniques, this holistic approach allows for a deeper connection between the mind, body, and spirit. Grateful to be part of this amazing community.

Fantastic experience: About a month ago, I began attending prenatal yoga classes with Arezu, and I couldn't be happier. The classes have not only helped me relax but have also taught me valuable techniques applicable throughout pregnancy and during delivery. Arezu is incredibly kind and professional, making each class an enjoyable experience :)

Fantastic experience: I take prenatal yoga with Jyotsana, and it's a class I look forward to every week. The session is comprehensive for the well-being of expectant mothers, focusing on mind, body, and soul. Physically, it's helping me manage my back pain. We go through many exercises that focus on the pelvic floor, preparing us for delivery. Mentally, the class includes many meditative practices including mindful breathing, gratitude, and self-compassion. Spiritually, I always feel uplifted after the class, filled with positive energy and calm. I recommend the prenatal yoga class for all my pregnant friends. Best decision I made was signing up! Plus, the view from the studio as the sun sets is just breathtaking!

Fantastic experience: One of the best yoga studios in Dubai. Practicing traditional Hatha yoga, this studio is authentic in its teachings and environment. All of their teachers are exceptional, paying careful attention to each student, talking through the methods of yoga and explaining every posture and its benefits, taking time in their yoga practice. Been practicing here for the past 3 months and what a life changer this has been. Thank you to all teachers for this enlightening journey.

Rashmi Menon 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have just attended 2 classes and generally don’t put in reviews for things that I have tried. But it’s the best yoga center based on the 2 classes I have attended and I have tried a good few. Both classes were by Elie whose entire class you can follow with your eyes closed- the instructions are so precise you rarely need to look at the teacher for guidance. It’s a great class for someone starting yoga or someone looking to comeback to the practice after many years. Another thing I have found is the lack of posturing and frills in the teacher and the studio - there is no intent other than helping you with your practice.

Ananda Yoga Center

Thank you Rashmi for your kind and generous review. We are glad you enjoyed the classes and that you felt they helped you more than your physio sessions. You're spot on, our main goal is to assist people in their practice and promote well-being.

Rahul Sharda 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: If it were possible, I would afford this a rating beyond 5 stars. There are few superlatives I can find to adequately address my views of this yoga centre. I am basing my experiences on the time I have spent learning from Suman who is an extraordinary yoga teacher. She carries a commanding presence, with an extremely reassuring demeanour and is evidently someone who is entirely committed to her craft. Whilst I am not the kind of person to talk about “energies” emanating from places, what I can say is the location itself brings a sense of immediate calmness. Clean, modern, and well equipped with fantastic natural lighting. I have been to several yoga centres around town, but this stands out as the best I have encountered which is what prompted me to provide this impeccable review containing a deeply profound endorsement of the place.

Ananda Yoga Center

First of all a big thank you from Ananda! If our little effort to bring positivity and happiness through yoga has been successful, thats because of such encouraging words. We are so grateful and blessed that we could do a little bit from our end to make you love this beautiful art of yoga. We hope that your journey continues from here on and we stay an integral part of it throughout. We sincerely wish that yoga changes your perspective of life and it brings all the happiness.

Azi G 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended for those looking for Traditional and Authentic Yoga, Hatha Yoga. This center was created by one of the best guru, Ananada and I've been taking his classes for over 12 years. I moved out of Dubai but anytime I'm back, I have to take his classes to recharge. He is simply the best. Ananda is not there anymore, but still I go there when in Dubai. His energy is there and there are great teachers as well. I'm currently taking classes with Deepa who is just amazing. OM.

Petra Zein 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been in Dubai for 4 years and tried several yoga studios and didn't find what i was looking for until i found Ananda Yoga Studio. it's a cozy place with very skilled and highly devoted teachers , teaching traditional yoga . Additionally each class consists of 1.5 hours (while other studios classes are for 1 hour only) which gives you enough time to have a proper practice. i highly recommend this center and grateful to have found it.

Lakshya Yoga 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this yoga center. It is probably the only place that i found in Dubai where traditional yoga is taught, without frills, just the real deal. Amazing teachers, beautiful studio - it is very spacious and quiet. I have met amazing friends here at the yoga community. Highly recommended!

arezu karoobi 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is my sanctuary. I have been practicing yoga at ananda yoga center for more than 5 years. It has been a life changing experience learning yoga from their amazing teachers. They are caring and teach with love and passion and are always there for you. They are all trained very well and are experinced. This place is my favorite yoga studio in Dubai.

Krishnan Vaidyanathan 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a regular student at Ananda Yoga for the past 2.5 years. The instructors are very good. They're patient and aim to teach sivananda yoga in a conventional way such that there is all-round learning encompassing asanas as well as the overall yoga philosophy. Kudos to the wonderful Ananda yoga team!!

Mahalinga Bhat 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is an authentic yoga studio in Barsha Heights that has ample space, lighting & atmosphere to conduct a session. The flooring is wood paneled & the windows are tall. One of the wall is a mirror, which allows you to see postures while doing them. The teachers are very approachable, who have many years of experience in teaching yoga. The instructors, as I know, are certified from Shivananada Yoga, India. The classes are affordable and are at regular intervals to suit timings of busy office goers & busier home makers. If you are in the mood to do away with a gym styled power yoga and opt for yoga as yoga is supposed to be, stop by and attend couple of classes.

PATRICK Rizk 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: By far, the most authentic yoga studio in Dubai. Amazing long 1h30 sessions with expert teachers. The studio is the simple and humble. Prices are lower than the market, a must try
