Book Ashtanga classes in Dubai

Private — one-to-one Mysore-style guidance for Primary and Intermediate, in Dubai or online by arrangement. The price is shared on request.

Pop-up — a shared Mysore room in Dubai. Dates are announced once the room is confirmed, and the venue is shared at the same time. Classes are from AED 100 per class and from AED 900 / month (incl. VAT). The final price is confirmed at booking. Choosing Pop-up joins the waitlist.

Retreat — a quiet Ashtanga retreat in Thailand, built around Mysore-style practice. Primary and Intermediate students are welcome. Exact dates, venue, and pricing are shared with the waitlist first.

Shala waitlist — practice already runs as pop-up classes in Dubai, private sessions in Dubai and online by arrangement, and Mysore-style Primary and Intermediate, alongside a shala in the future.

If you are new to Ashtanga, private sessions are the place to start. In Mysore-style practice each student works at their own pace, with individual guidance, and the foundation is breath linked with movement. Primary is the first series, Yoga Chikitsa. Intermediate, Nadi Shodhana, is the second series, and it is added only when your practice and body are ready. Pop-up rooms suit students with some Ashtanga foundation, or a willingness to learn patiently.

For the first steps, see the beginner's guide.

Nelli Kulikova teaches both series in Mysore-style and led classes. She completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga Pattaya Studio.

The sessions page sets out private practice, the Dubai pop-up, and the Thailand retreat. The practice page describes how the series are taught. Current listings are on the dates page, and practice in Dubai today is on the shala page, alongside a shala in the future. Questions about practice, series and booking are on the FAQ.

The form below does not create an account. Required fields are your name, email, city, an interest and a message. Phone is optional. If you add a phone number, include the country code. Interest is Private, Pop-up, Retreat or Shala waitlist. If a field needs correcting, nothing is sent.

Send opens FormSubmit’s captcha, and the form is posted to book@ashtangayoga.ae. If FormSubmit accepts it, this page reloads with a note beside the form. Opening that address yourself does not send a message. Acceptance is not the same as the message reaching an inbox, and it is not a confirmed class. After we receive your enquiry, a short English confirmation is sent from book@ashtangayoga.ae. That email confirms receipt, not a class booking. If the captcha step fails, use the book@ link or Instagram beside the form.
