About Thousand Petaled Lotus
A yoga studio and teacher-training school built on traditional yoga and Ayurveda, taught in a way that fits modern life in Dubai. For over 15+ years we have welcomed beginners, athletes, busy professionals and future teachers into small, personal classes.
Our story
Authentic yoga, close to home
Thousand Petaled Lotus opened in 2009 with a simple aim: to offer real, traditional yoga to the people of Dubai, taught with care and backed by a real understanding of the body.
Our name is the English translation of Sahasrara, the crown chakra, pictured in yoga as a lotus with a thousand petals. It stands for clarity and awareness: what we hope every student finds on the mat.
Today we run 35+ classes a week at Stadium Point in Dubai Sports City, and Yoga Alliance certified teacher trainings that have launched 610+ teachers now working in Dubai and around the world. Our sister school, Sahasrara Yoga Academy, Thanjavur, India, connects our students with yoga's roots in South India.
