Dubai Holding is bringing the region’s largest and most holistic yoga festival to UAE again with XYoga Dubai, that will be taking place from March 16-17 at Kite Beach and will run from sunrise until sunset.
The festival will bring more than 35 international and local yogis together who will be giving out over 60 complimentary classes, featuring 25 different styles of this unique meditative practice that can be enjoyed by anyone between the ages of 1 to 100.
Opening with a mass morning beach yoga session for 1,500 yogis on Friday, 16 March at 08:00, XYoga Dubai’s organiser XDubai has confirmed that it is expecting more than 10,000 people.
For yoga enthusiasts who also happen to be chocoholics, the festival has something interesting in store for them.
Chocolate yoga instructor, Sjha’ra Taylor practices traditional Kundalini yoga while having hot chocolate, as part of a cacao ceremony that venerates the cacao spirit and was practiced by the ancient Mayans.
It was noted that combining Cacao with Kundalini yoga helps students gain a direct experience of their energy and also leads to profound mental, physical, emotional and spiritual healing.
“Chocolate Yoga is a yummy fusion of the Cacao Ceremony and Kundalini Yoga. I am really looking forward to sharing the experience with everyone during the XYoga Dubai presented by Dubai Holding. See you on the mat,” says Sjha’ra Taylor.
UK-based yogi and modern wellness advocate Daniel Morgan is ecstatic at the prospect of coming to the UAE and giving people a taste of wellness workshop.
“I am extremely excited to be part of XYoga Dubai presented by Dubai Holding and can’t wait to meet everyone,” said Daniel Morgan.
The global growth of Yoga has been exponential and with Dubai establishing its place in the world as the hub for fitness and health, this festival has come at a very opportune time according to Edris Alrafi, chief executive officer of Dubai Holding.
“We continue our strategy of being part of Dubai’s most successful events; We are committed to enhancing the quality of life of our community and embedding wellness as a principal component of it. This has guided our partnership with XDubai, which entails a series of large-scale fitness events including XYoga Dubai,” said Edris Alrafi.
The XYoga Dubai classes and workshops are open to public and the classes are available for all levels, ages, and abilities.
The classes can be attended free of cost but will be subject to pre-registration and further announcements will be made for the two-day festival.
