Stretch, breathe, belong: Dubai’s biggest free yoga session is coming to Zabeel park

Dubai: This November, Dubai’s fitness season ends on a calm note with a collective exhale.

Registrations are now open for Dubai Yoga, a brand-new flagship event under the Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC). On 30 November, thousands are expected to roll out their mats beneath the Dubai Frame for a sunset yoga session like no other.

It’s not about competition. It’s about connection.

As the final event of DFC 2025, Dubai Yoga brings the city’s 30-day fitness journey to a peaceful close. It’s a moment to pause, stretch, and soak in that shared energy that makes Dubai’s fitness scene so unique.

Set against one of the city’s most iconic backdrops, the session promises a mix of mindfulness and movement along with a reminder that fitness doesn’t always mean fast. Sometimes, it’s just about slowing down together.

Everyone’s invited from first-timers to seasoned yogis, families, and People of Determination. The event features inclusive zones and activities designed for all ages and abilities. And best of all? Participation is free.

“Dubai Fitness Challenge continues to evolve, inspiring millions to embrace fitness in new and innovative ways,” said His Excellency Saeed Hareb, Secretary General of the Dubai Sports Council. “With Dubai Yoga, we’re proud to offer an inclusive experience that reflects the city’s commitment to health and wellbeing for all.”

Echoing that spirit, Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment, called Dubai Yoga “a unique gathering that blends movement with mindfulness, the perfect close to the UAE’s ‘Year of Community.’”

So whether you’re looking to try yoga for the first time or just want to unwind with thousands of others under the fading glow of a Dubai sunset, this is your moment to find your balance.

Roll out your mat. Take a breath. And be part of Dubai’s most mindful evening yet.
