Moon events are held on the Friday closest to the full or new moon during the cooler months from November to April. These events are available for sponsorship. Check out what we offer here. Enjoy yoga and meditation classes by the lake in the peaceful urban oasis of Dubai Internet city. Instructors donate their time, so we ask you to give a minimum donation of AED 50 per class which is given to our selected charity for the year.

FAQs

What is the difference between Full Moon yoga and New Moon Yoga?
During the full moon, we practise a gentler style of yoga like hatha and yin yoga as the energy is more contemplative and reflective.
During the new moon we can feel often feel a lack of energy so we practise a stronger style of yoga like ashtanga vinyasa and power yoga.

CONTRIBUTE

This season we are supporting Al Jalila Foundation and their Ta’alouf program.

Ta’alouf is Al Jalila Foundation’s flagship program that equips teachers and parents with knowledge and skills to better manage children with disabilities and special educational needs. Ta’alouf means ‘harmony’ in Arabic and brings this spirit to life by working in unison with strategic partners, parents, educators and the wider community to empower children of determination.
