In fact, one local Dubai café has just launched an outdoor morning class for those who still don’t mind the rising morning heat.

Luckily, at 6:30am it’s still bearable – so LaOla restaurant can only just get away with it.

The pretty café, which overlooks Kite Beach, is running yoga and meditation classes on their open rooftop terrace every Sunday to Thursday morning from 6:30 – 8am, led by Yoga teacher Ekaterina Zakorka. It’s a stunning setting with great views of the beach – a peaceful way to start your day.

After the session, attendees are welcome to enjoy 20% off the menu, both for dine-in and takeaway. We highly recommend their refreshing Acai bowl!

LaOla’s free daily yoga and meditation classes will continue until June 2nd. Bring your own yoga mat!

Find out more on the Facebook event page.

Warning: Annoyingly, LaOla has no bathrooms, so if you need to go before or after class you’ll have to walk yourself over to the only nearby Kite Beach public bathroom.
