From heated yoga and sky-high Pilates to pool days, pampering and puppy therapy.
If December was all about late nights, long lunches and saying “yes” to absolutely everything, January is your chance to rebalance the scales and take some downtime over high jinks.
Think of this as your soft launch back into real life – a period to stretch out the tension, sweat out the excess, nourish your body and do something that feels a little more aligned than “another brunch” (although those are of course totally fab.)
From restorative classes and indulgent spa rituals to poolside resets and even a little animal-assisted joy, here’s where to start your wellness era in Dubai.
Move and stretch at Matcha Club Dubai
If you’re looking to reset your body and get back into your flow, Matcha Club Dubai offers a full schedule of warm and heated classes including Sculpt, Power Pilates, Yin, Deep Stretch and Vinyasa Flow.
Each 50-minute session takes place in a softly heated studio designed to loosen muscles, improve mobility and support fluid, controlled movement. Whether you’re in the mood for a full-body burn or a slower, restorative stretch, there’s a class for you.
Where: Matcha Club Dubai, Al Quoz
When: Daily from 8am to 7pm
Cost: Discovery class AED 95; single class AED 115; 5-class pack AED 475

Spend some time with furry friends at Pawdy Neighbors
If your idea of wellness includes something a little softer and more heart-warming, Pawdy Neighbors is one of Dubai’s most charming café concepts.
The neighbourhood café overlooks an active doggy daycare space, so you can sip your coffee while watching adorable pups at play. It’s a lovely way to slow down, unwind and enjoy a dose of puppy therapy this January.
