The 5 Best Yoga Classes in Karama Perfect For Beginners and Advanced Students Alike
My sister has been bugging me to help her find a yoga class where she can finally feel comfortable. It’s her first time trying yoga, and she quickly realised that finding the right class is a real stretch.
There are plenty of in Karama, but it’s hard to tell which one has beginner-friendly classes.
So, to put an end to her constant reminders, I decided to take on the task. With the help of my Dubai’s Best team, we asked around and reached out to the studios ourselves to find the top yoga classes in Karama.
Here’s a look at the studios that truly stand out for their excellent instruction, class variety, and inviting atmosphere.
How much does a yoga class cost in Karama?
A yoga class in Karama may cost from AED 99 TO AED 150. Some studios offer deals for the first session. Meanwhile, drop-in classes can be more expensive compared to class packages.
1. YogMitra Fitness Club LLC
Address: Yogmitra Fitness Club LLC, Hamsah-A Building – 106 3A St – next to Ansar Gallery
Contact Details: +971553439075
Operating Hours:
- Monday – Saturday: 5:30 AM – 8:00 PM
- Sunday: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM
We found YogMitra Fitness Club LLC very beginner-friendly. They offer one-on-one yoga classes, which are not always offered by studios.
Yoga, like ballet classes, often happens in a group. That’s why we’re glad that we found YogMitra’s private yoga classes. This is perfect for those who want a more personalised instruction.
In fact, a student said that she had an incredible one-on-one yoga session with YogMitra. Her instructor was attentive and truly focused on her needs as a beginner. She said that she felt stronger and more aligned after the session.
Another thing we like about this studio is that it focuses only on yoga—no other sports or training are offered there. This level of specialisation allows them to refine their classes and maintain a peaceful atmosphere for their students.
The only thing to note is that they don’t have an online booking system. You need to either call them or submit a form and wait for their representative to call you back for booking confirmation.
Amazing experience
“YogMitra has truly transformed my fitness journey. The variety of classes offered caters to all levels, and the instructors are knowledgeable and supportive. The atmosphere is welcoming, and each session leaves me feeling rejuvenated and balanced. Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, YogMitra provides an exceptional experience that nurtures both body and mind. Highly recommend!”
– Mr. Asfandiyar Khan, Google Review
Great coach
“Great Fitness Trainer and Yoga coach, had a session with Ms Sanghmitra today morning, whole family enjoyed the yoga session. We will recommend the Yogmirta to everyone”

2. Bharat Thakur’s Artistic Yoga – Al Karama
Address: Office 1 – Titanium Tower Building, P3 Floor – next to Park Regis Hotel
Contact Details: +971585841952
Operating Hours: Monday – Friday: 7:00 AM – 9:30 AM, 5:55 PM – 8:00 PM
Bharat Thakur spearheads Artisic Yoga, a studio focused on yoga and weight loss programs.
It first caught our attention for its flexibility and accessibility. They offer studio, online, and private classes, giving clients the option to find a class that works for their schedule and needs.
It also has multiple branches across Dubai, so clients can easily find a branch closer to their location. Their Karama location comes with free parking and a shower facility as well.
Another plus for us is their free trial class. This is good news for newcomers who want to experience their teaching style and environment before committing to a class package.
Their instructors are also skilled and professional. Students shared that their instructors, Diwash and Gurpreet, are true experts in yoga. They’re very calm and encouraging, keeping students motivated to do better every day.
However, we have to be honest that their pricing is a bit higher compared to other studios. For instance, their one-month class is priced at AED 2000.
Transformative and amazing class
“I have recently gone back to my favorite yoga class that’s the Bharat Thakur’s Artistic yoga. It’s amazing and transformative. Every day we practice yoga mindfully focusing on improving flexibility, building strength, enhancing focus and improving our overall physical and mental health. Our teacher Mr. Gurpreet is an expert -calm, inclusive and encouraging, keeping us motivated to do better every day. Truly grateful for this practice and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to experience the life changing health benefits of yoga.”
– Ms. Shuchi Kaul, Google Review
Wonderful experience
“I recently joined the yoga classes here and have had a wonderful experience so far. Its amazing for physical and mental wellbeing.
Our instructor, Diwash, is very calm, patient, and knowledgeable. His guidance makes each session both relaxing and energizing..”

3. Hatha Vidya Yoga Centre
Address: Post Box No 119094 – C Building 1st Floor 103 – near Burjuman Metro exit 1
Contact Details: +971543033350
Operating Hours:
- Monday – Friday: 6:30 AM – 10:30 AM, 4:30 PM – 8:30 PM
- Saturday – Sunday: 8:30 AM – 1:30 PM
Hatha Vidya Yoga Centre stood out to us because of the variety of classes it offers. From basic pranayama to children’s yoga, they have it.
We also find their Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) Courses impressive, especially for those who want to pursue teaching professionally. They offer 100 YTT, 500 YTT, and even pre- and postnatal YTT.
A student shared that their YTT courses are very systematic. The course is really focused on teaching yoga, not on the different poses. She also mentioned that the dedicated staff and instructors are all encouraging.
Apart from that, we appreciate their focus on traditional yoga. That means they teach yoga through scriptures—more of a sacred yoga. While it might not be ideal for some, it’s great if you’re looking for a more modern or fitness-oriented style.
The studio itself is nice with friendly and supportive staff. It also has a good location, easy access if you’re taking the metro. It’s just that parking can get challenging.
Positive experience
“My experience at The Hatha Vidya centre Bur dubai has been very positive . The teacher’s take time to understand the requirements and Guide us based on individual requirements.”
– Ms. Sonia Sequeira, Google Review
Great teacher
“I and my wife have great experience by coming and having yoga at the Dubai Centre. Jyothy Teacher is the best tutor and we are extremely happy and benefiting from the sessions we have taken, also wanting to extend the course”

4. Ancient Yoga Centre
Address: 7822+MHM Burjuman, Business Tower – Sheikh Zayed Rd – Al Mankhool – Dubai – United Arab Emirates
Contact Details: +971585725299
Operating Hours:
- Monday – Friday: 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM
- Saturday: 7:30 AM – 8:30 PM
Ancient Yoga Centre is one of the most affordable studios we found. For AED 600 a month, you can start learning yoga.
Like other studios, they also have online yoga classes. But what we like about them is that they offer exclusive private yoga sessions at home. They have a dedicated yoga teacher who’ll visit you.
However, if you prefer studio-based learning, they also have it. They have the FIT & FAB program, great for first-timers. This is a group class, with schedules from Monday to Friday.
They also have a nice pool of yoga instructors. We like that they have enough yoga teachers who can cater to different levels and schedules without compromising attention and quality.
Students praise instructors Ashwini and Shubham for their motivating and calming attitude, which really helps with learning yoga. Instructors have that nice balance of challenge and support that beginners need to gain confidence.
Speaking of beginners, you can get their trial session and see if their program fits you before committing to long-term classes.
Just a heads up, though: they don’t have Sunday classes, so make sure to catch their Saturday session if you’re a busy professional.
Well-trained instructors
“I’ve been attending classes for the past few months and I’ve noticed significant improvements in my flexibility, strength, and overall well-being. I would highly recommend Ancient yoga as
the instructors are well trained, incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about yoga. The attention to mindfulness and the focus on breath has not only enhanced my yoga practice but also positively impacted my daily life. If you’re looking for a place to deepen your practice or simply find peace of mind, ancient yoga is the place to be!!”
– Mr. Lotto Lukose, Google Review
Great experience
“Highly recommended! Signed up for classes at Ancient, more than 6 months back, and the experience so far has been great. They have a balanced class that focuses on postures, breathwork and exercise. The location is perfect (with parking) and the schedule is great for working professionals. All their instructors are very kind, knowledgeable and incredibly attentive. Special mention to Shubham, who always encourages everyone to push limits and get the most out of each session. The environment is positive, calming, and relaxing.”

5. Pratimoksha
Address: #206 Safina Towers Malaysia Trade Center building
Contact Details: +971503955613
Operating Hours:
- Monday – Saturday: 7:00 AM – 1:00 PM, 4:00 PM – 8:30 PM
- Sunday: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Another reputable yoga studio in Karama that offers a wide variety of classes is Praktimosha. Their offering ranges from yoga therapy to prenatal yoga.
They also offer yoga teacher training, yoga styles, and signature programs. Their great list of services makes them a nice choice for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
Another advantage of this clinic is that they’re open at weekends, including Sundays. Although they only have a limited time, it’s still good news for those who have only free time on Sunday.
The studio is also considerate. They offer a trial session, perfect for newcomers. You just need to sign up for their trial session program and wait for their confirmation.
Teaching quality? We can say that their instructors really know their craft. Students say that their instructors are supportive and have thoughtfully personalised sessions for every type of learner.
Their studio is also clean and spacious, giving you that airy and calming ambience perfect for doing yoga.
However, we think they lack instructors, especially given their variety of yoga classes. This could affect their class availability and the level of attention students receive.
Great instructors
“I cannot recommend this yoga school enough! The level of professionalism is unmatched and the instructors are truly the best in the field. They create a welcoming supportive environment while offering top notch training and guidance. I’ve grown so much both physically and mentally through their programs
If you’re looking for the best yoga school this is the place to be”
