Shimis Yoga

Negative experience: Very bad location !!!!!!!!!!!! Can not find any parking slot over there

Fantastic experience: My favorite yoga studio in Dubai

Positive experience: I love coming here for hot yoga but the only thing is the coffee ☕️. The taste is too bad I don’t if it’s because of the milk you guys use I always order oat cappuccino and still . I hope you consider it as review.

Fantastic experience: My favorite yoga class here is warm flexibility flow with Adele Thank you Shimis

Negative experience: I had to leave after 20 min although the class is an hour because of how tight the room is, they put 12 people in the class and the room approximately can only fit 8 to move freely which we are supposed to in a yoga class. every time i move i either hit or get hit by someone next to me. extremely hot inside they said its 22 degrees but i doubt it maybe 27 at least. floor is full of hair as well. if class isnt full i might recommend but if it is highly dont.

Fantastic experience: I love the Warm Deep Stretch class with Roxy!

Positive experience: It’s a nice chill place but the parking situation is horrible and absolutely not worth it. Especially in this summer heat or on weekends when it’s packed and have to wait 25 minutes to find a parking spot.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending classes at Shimis for a while now and I have especially loved the Vinyasa classes at the Green Room, and the location is also very convenient with lots of cafes nearby. Their staff are also quite friendly and have always helped me when I accidentally left some things behind. My only suggestions are for them to restructure the placements of mats as there are spots that are so close to the wall, which would make it impossible to stretch on the side especially when their classes are fully-booked. Other than that, Shimis is a lovely studio if you find your favorite teacher and classes.

Positive experience: Bad Coffee and Terrible Cake

Negative experience: The service is terrible! No one came for order and bring sanitizer after I wait more than 30mins.

Fantastic experience: The best yoga studio in Dubai Fantastic trainers, the right vision of yoga, lovely atmosphere. I visit this studio 2 times per week during 2 years, love it more and more! Highly recommend especially morning classes

Fantastic experience: My favorite hot yoga spot! Clean space, friendly staff and instructors, I've grown so much in my practice thanks to shimis The cafe is great too ☺️

Positive experience: This place is amazing. All instructors are so good but I have a preference for Amelia and Vanessa. The fact that they accept people to enter the class even 5/10 min late is very pleasant and relief some pressure to be on time if there is traffic or no parking. The only issue I see is their horrible matcha otherwise the hot yoga studio is like my second home

Fantastic experience: I love this place brings me positive vibes, i love Mais she is the best yoga instructor

Positive experience: The place is beautiful

Fantastic experience: Have not experienced yoga yet, but coming from time to time for the protein shakes and banana cake! Always on spot!

Fantastic experience: I attended the viniyasa flow in the green room and it was a great class. The instructor was very well prepared and the room was lovely. The studio has an amazing facility and a relaxed vibe. I'll definitely go back.

Negative experience: The worst Matcha i ever tried in my entire life.

Negative experience: Very rude costumer service

Negative experience: One of the worst classes I've ever done. I did a deep stretch session with Amelia, who paid no attention to people's forms, and made 0 attempt to help or correct anyone. I could see people pushing through wrong form which could lead to serious injuries. There is no point in having an instructor who is not interested in teaching. The studio and changing rooms were also not clean and the entire experience was so unpleasant. Will not be returning.

Negative experience: The place is amazing, such a shame that a reception staff is very rude.

Positive experience: Beautiful place for yoga. Love the stars in the sky effect! Giving it a 4 instead of a 5 because I suggest they look into their cafe. The Shimis special was quite bland even though I asked them to fix it a couple of times and the food was pretty bland and not served nicely.

Fantastic experience: Shimis is an oasis of tranquility, where I find peace. The instructors are highly knowledgeable and guide us through a transformative practice. The serene ambiance creates a peaceful environment for deepening my yoga journey. It's a place I eagerly return to, finding both physical and mental balance. Highly recommended for those seeking a harmonious yoga experience. the double chocolate banana cake is heaven on earth :)

Fantastic experience: The instructors are lovely and the atmosphere is charming. I always look forward to booking The Box studio when I’m in Dubai. Warm yoga flow in my favorite, but they offer many types of practices in three different settings. As well they have a cafe in the lobby with fresh juices and coffee.

Fantastic experience: My second home! Love all the instructions, never leave class disappointed. Classes are customized to all levels, instructors give many options for challenging asanas. Love 8.30am classes- every day it is focused on something different ( strenght, flexibility, core) giving you opportunity to improve over time. Cafe is amazing, they bake fresh banana bread daily and the smell is devine. There is a workout clothing store upstairs with Alo yoga gear. Showers have Locitane shampoo/ shower gel. Overall pleasant experience, favorite place to start my day.

Fantastic experience: I've been a regular at Shimis for a year now. - The facilities are top notch. - The instructors all have really strong practices. - The cafe is great (bowls & smoothies esp.) - The fact that there are 7am sessions every weekday is brilliant. Classes are usually fast-paced (i.e. Vinyasa / Power Yoga often with music) and bound to give you a solid workout (and a sweat). I've been to a lot of the major studios in Dubai, and Shimis by far is the best home for those who like strong, fast-paced flows, and instructors who challenge you to grow in your practice. A few notes: For those who are very new to yoga, sessions in The Box may be a bit too fast-paced, and classes in the Greenhouse (upstairs) are usually slower. Also, if you don't like practicing in a warm setting (i.e. 34-35 degrees Celsius), I'd again recommend classes in the Greenhouse over The Box.

Positive experience: I like the studio however they increased the monthly unlimited membership prices by 50%. It was 1300 aed which was already the highest among their competitors and now they increased it to 1900. Although there might be increase in some of their costs, this definitely cannot justify 50% increase. Monthly 30 day pass is also increased to 1600 AED. The business also removed their 3 month, 6 month and 12 month memberships. I hope that they reconsider this decision as it might not be convenient to many long term loyal members in the long run and people have already started looking at other options. We love Shimis (thats why I am giving a high rating), however we would appreciate if the pricing is reconsidered so that they continue to play a role in making yoga accessible to more people.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been here a few times now , I attended Lauren’s class for the first time yesterday and She was definitely the best instructor !

Fantastic experience: Very professional team. If you really want to get in shape, go there. But be ready for some serious sweating and fat burning.

Fantastic experience: Lovely yoga studio with beautiful interior. Thank you to instructor Karina, enjoying her Yin class every time

Fantastic experience: I love the asthetic of this studio, it’s stunning but it doesn’t end there, the studio really has a heart that you can feel. The subtle touches such as cold towels after class and plant based bags available in the change room for wet yoga clothes after class are all part of the authentic care and vibe of Shimis. I took a warm flow class with Jaedena and she was fantastic! I can’t wait to go again :)

Fantastic experience: Best warm yoga studio in Dxb. All the teachers are amazing: have great energy, great flows that adjust in terms of intensity depending on the level of people attending the class, are extremely knowledgeable of the body so risk of injury is very low and are always friendly and super willing to answer questions. My favourites are Lauren and Karina - can’t recommend them enough. Their classes are high energy but they know how to make them fun so ego does not get in the way of your practice. Also note the Box (where warm yoga sessions take place) temperature is slightly lower than in a standard bikram or hot yoga class, which makes it more accessible yet still challenging. Prepare for a great sweat and lots of fun! PS. I also tried classes at Dryp and the Yoga House which were great but think this place is unrivaled. PS2. If you are more into an spiritual approach to yoga, focused on breathing and meditation (or if you are into kundalini or yvengar) this might not be the best match for you. They have some yin yoga classes but most of the classes are vinyasa and will at some point or other build some heat into the sequences.

Negative experience: It has nothing to do with real Yoga, in fact they should have called it "power stretching" or something like that. So called "warm yoga" - exercises in 30+C room with 20 sweating and breathing out carbon dioxide people - can be seriously dangerous. There is a reason why (Hatha) Yoga is done before sunrise outdoors, and the reason is - coolness and fresh air. Wearing tight clothes is not for yoga as well. Yoga is about energies flowing in your body. It is hilarious how instructors call themselves "yogi" and say 'namaste' after every class.

Negative experience: I have been going to the place for now 5 months, love the teachers and the practice. Classes are quiet advanced. However, 2 things: there is a late cancellation fee which is sporadically charged + not on the system but by a lady at the reception! Plus, the most disgusting aspect - after having been a regular customer had been treated in such an uncouth fashion. The team so to speak could be a better fit for debt collection: everytime you walk out of a class there is a verbal reminder of how many classes missed and how much is due. Why just not have it on the system. Plus why some folks are charged and some not! Moreover, the team is rude on other accounts as well: when you borrow the mat it could be quiet slippery. When you let the team know, their response is just get your own mat next time. There have been quiet a few times when I have slipped on the mats, but the staff doesn’t bother really. Their strategy to issues is to laugh/ shrug it off like it is not on them. And their attitude is more like - if you don’t like it, you don’t need to come. Nevertheless hated the experience; marred the entire ethereal feeling/ rush of endorphins after great classes. Definitely not worth your dime!

Negative experience: Not a good experience Nobody informed me that it was a mixed studio and in my class there were at least 4 men. When I mentioned it to the receptionist she didn’t even apologized she just actef as if it’s normal which in the UAE it’s not. Secondly, the class rhythm was too fast and it was almost impossible to meditate and actually stretch, looked more like a workout class.

Negative experience: I haven’t been to shimis from a long time and I went this weekend for a class. I was completely shocked. The changing room was dirty and i informed the staff they didn’t even apologize about it. The level of the class that was mentioned was all levels but the class was for advanced yoga practitioners and very fast paced and when I mentioned this to The receptionist she was so rude and her response was thats the style of the yoga teacher ! And then she ask me to pay for the class ! I’m very disappointed and I won’t go back.

Negative experience: Honestly, the whole class was underwhelming. Speeding through the class with obvious beginners in the front row just doesn’t cut it. Stick to your local gyms for yoga/Pilates, this one is not worth it.

Negative experience: The service is awful. The team is enjoying their time but not taking care of customers. Worst service ever !

Negative experience: I often visit you after my boxing training, I go for smoothies! and I’m interested in your studio and identify Lauren. I asked the girl at the reception to sign up for her class almost a week in advance. Now I came to the studio at 8:30 and they told me that there were no empty seats, I had already paid for everything, I arrived, I spent my time, and I was on the waiting list, which I was not warned about! The mood is completely ruined Now I have no desire to buy smoothies or go to yoga with you. Looks like you’ve lost a regular customer.

Negative experience: This place is everything but a yoga place ‍♀️

Negative experience: I came a couple of hours before my class hoping to have some time to work at the coffeeshop on my laptop. The ladies at the counter are so loud that it’s impossible to get any work done. Honestly got a feeling I’m at a cheap bazaar rather than a boutique yoga studio.

Negative experience: The instructor I attended the class with didn’t correct anyone’s posture, we did one pose specifically that I’ve never done before it’s been a week & my neck / shoulder still hurt. I don’t get what all the fuss is about & this incident made me decide to carefully select my yoga classes next time.

Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere, Id say a boutique yoga studio. Big lounge / coffee shop area to work, read or chill. Hot yoga flow in The Box was great, unique setting, demanding and rewarding. Gotta try the green room next.

Fantastic experience: Love the place perfect for yoga session. The instructors are so helpful and pleasant to work with. Its a place to unwind with amazing yoga sessions

Positive experience: Yesterday's morning yoga class was great. Sincerely want to help you improve, so below are my comments. I'd suggest to adjust the music level though, so that the instructor could be heard better. The distance between mats could be more, so everybody has enough space. It was my 1st time, so i'd appreciate if somebody was at the reception to greet and guide around, but the desk was empty. Tiny unpleasant surprise waited for me inside - some chalk powder around my mat, which I showed to the staff but haven't even heard an apology.

Fantastic experience: Just visited for the coffee shop but the place itself is super cute. Upstairs the changing rooms, bathrooms are really cool and modern. In the coffee shop: great healthy options, snacks. We had the acai bowl and hazelnut coffee. (Looking great, tasting average) Pricing is ok, medium price range. The barista was very friendly and helpful.

Negative experience: I sent an email few times to inquire about first-timers but no one replied me and no one was answering the phone as well.

Fantastic experience: Best yoga studio in Dubai!

Positive experience: Lovely space to breathe and practice as well as a hipster style cafe with good stuff! Interior is TOP! 2types of rooms, warm upbeat sweaty in dark room a la Barrys or more normal vinyasa in a bright room with a green plants (dead). I thought this will be a supermodel yoga studio but its solid and for everyone :) and so damn nice id live in there -70aed on first class.
