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.
We are so happy to hear that ❤️
Fantastic experience: Ananda yoga is a rarely unique, non commercial yoga studio with a positive ambiance that helps you get your inner peace and unwind from stress and align with yourself.
Thank you, we are happy you like our space.
Fantastic experience: What a great way to start the day. Arezu's class was amazing! She is so knowledgeable and attentive. I have been going to Ananda for a while now, I have also been to Elie's classes! I really love it and will definitely go back! Highly recommend it!
Thank you so much, we are happy to hear that you are enjoying our classes. It is with pleasure to offer you our best always. With peace and love Ananda yoga team
Fantastic experience: Very good yoga center with good coach!!!
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: Jyotsana’s prenatal yoga classes are so lovely. They are suitable for any level of pregnancy and any level of yoga experience. I would highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: Amazing yoga center especially teacher called Ananda. He is so authentic and generous with his teachings. I can really feel improvement since I started ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you very much. We are happy to hear that.
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.
Dear Chadi,Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you like our space. We are always looking forward to having you and providing you with bests. Sincerely Ananda team
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: Prenatal Classes have been a life saver for me Very nice studio and the instructor is Excellent!
Fantastic experience: Ananda is amazing. Great vibe, best teachers! Love it ❤️
Dear Iga We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying your classes at ananda yoga. Our aim is always to provide you with the best. Sincerely Ananda team
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: I have tried quite few studios and so far Ananda was the best for me. It has a bigger space, very good energy and lovely teachers. Deepa, Elie, Arezu,Sheetal. Ananda is more spiritual practice and its true yoga.Love it and definately reccomend
Fantastic experience: After trying many different places, I finally found Ananda studio and never looked back. I have now been going there for 10 years. They teach authentic, traditional yoga in a very serene, relaxing and friendly setting. I highly recommend it.
We are very happy to hear that and we always do our best to provide a peaceful and transformative space for them.
Fantastic experience: My favorite yoga studio in Dubai, real teachers, real yoga
We are very happy to hear that.
Fantastic experience: Ananda Yoga is one of the few studios in Dubai that offers traditional yoga. The studio is peaceful and clean, and the teachers are all amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for true yoga.
Thank you :) we are happy to hear your enjoying our space and teachers.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful abode within this busy city to calm yourself with traditional yoga. I have been attending their classes for a month now it has been transformational experience for me. The space itself has so much positivity.
We are glad that you experienced the positivity that we always sincerely try to bring in everyone's life. Thank you!
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.
We count our blessings with these kind words. We are glad that our sincere effort has reflected a in transformation for you. Thank you from All of Us at Ananda.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fantastic experience: Amazing Yoga Studio, it is more than just exercise/yoga it is a lifestyle with amazing instructors and classes that caters to different levels. Very clean and the instructors are very knowledgeable.
YOU are amazing, Heba. We are always happy to serve those who are truly seeking.
Fantastic experience: I've been attending Pruva's classes for just over a year now, she is an incredible facilitator. She has helped me reach new depths both physically, mentally & Spiritually. Her work is has transformed the life of many others too and I often receive unprompted feedback on Pruva all across Dubai. If you're starting out or looking to elevate your yoga practice Pruva's classes are a must! Thank you so much Pruva for everything truly!
Thank you Sammie for your kind review. We are glad that yoga is helping you in all aspects of your life.
Fantastic experience: All teachers are amazing in Ananda Yoga. Studio is very clean and peaceful. I always leave the class with a good energy. Thank you
Thank you Yasemin for the lovely energy you've added to our classes and space.
Fantastic experience: I have been doing the pregnancy yoga for over a month now and I absolutely love the sessions. I highly recommend trying the classes. Lamiese
Thank you Lamiese. We are very happy to hear that.
Fantastic experience: Purva is an amazing yoga instructor. Practicing with her has been such a joy! She teaches with a focus on alignment and technique. But also on meditation, growth and positivity. My practice and confidence have grown so much in the time I've attended her classes. I highly recommend attending her Gentle Hatha & Chakra Yin Yoga classes ✨
Thank you Hessa for practising with us. Purva and all of us at Ananda Yoga appreciate your dedication and feedback.
Positive experience: Good. Just don't get why they tell u to bring ur own yoga matt when u pay them that much
Thank you for joining our classes. We encourage our students to bring their own mats for hygiene and safety purposes. However, we do offer loaner mats for free if absolutely needed, along with sanitizing solutions to clean them before and after use.
Fantastic experience: I am so happy that i have found this yoga studio! Enjoying every class but especially Purva and Elly's ones. Elly is a great trainer - very attentive and professional!
Thank you Lena for the kind review . We are happy that you are enjoying practising with us and we reassure you we are here to help you grow.
Fantastic experience: Amazing studio and great yoga. Instructor Zeid has been amazing each time, I totally recommend. I've also attended a class with Ellie at the park and it was quite refreshing. I am not sure about prices and packages but I usually attend using class pass
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!!
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.
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
Fantastic experience: I started my yoga journey here and I love it. The place is spacious and the way they teach is really great for my body. I feel much better since I go regular there.
Fantastic experience: Traditional Yoga for the modern yogis. I grew in my practise here over the last 4 years and can definitely recommed this place both for the beginners and experienced yogis.
Fantastic experience: This is one of the best yoga centre in UAE.
