Stillpoint Yoga Studio

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our services.

I have never done yoga. Where do I start?

The Foundations course, a four-week block on Sunday evenings at 6:00pm covering breath, alignment and the twelve postures that everything else builds on. It is AED 480 for the four sessions and caps at ten people. After that most people move into the Level 1 hatha and vinyasa classes without feeling lost.

What does a class cost?

A single drop-in is AED 90 for a 60-minute class and AED 110 for a 90-minute one. If you are coming more than twice a week the ten-class pack at AED 750 or the unlimited month at AED 690 works out better. New students can try two weeks unlimited for AED 199, once only.

How do the class levels work?

Level 1 assumes no experience and the teacher demonstrates every posture. Level 2 assumes you know the basic vinyasa sequence and can hold a plank comfortably. Level 3 includes inversions and arm balances and needs at least a year of regular practice. Yin and restorative classes are open to everyone regardless of level.

Do I need to bring a mat?

No. Mats, blocks, straps and bolsters are all in the studio and included in the class price. Mat hire is free, we sanitise between classes, and there is a rack for regulars who prefer to leave their own mat here for AED 40 a month. Bring a towel and water, or buy a bottle at reception for AED 5.

What is the class schedule?

Morning classes at 6:30am and 9:30am Sunday to Thursday, evening classes at 5:30pm, 6:45pm and 8:00pm. Saturday runs 8:00am, 10:00am and 5:00pm, and Friday is a single 9:00am slow flow. Yin is Monday and Wednesday at 8:00pm, and the sound-bath restorative runs the last Saturday of each month at 6:30pm.

Do you have women-only classes?

Yes. The 9:30am weekday classes and the Saturday 10:00am are women-only, with the studio blinds down and a female teacher. Prenatal classes on Tuesday and Thursday at 11:00am are also women-only. Everything else is mixed.

Can I book a private session?

One-to-one sessions are AED 350 for 60 minutes at the studio, or AED 450 at your home within Abu Dhabi island. Small private groups of up to four are AED 550 a session, which many families and colleagues split. Private sessions are useful if you are working around a back or knee issue and want the practice adapted properly.

What is your cancellation policy for classes?

Cancel more than four hours before the class and the credit goes straight back to your pack or account. Inside four hours or a no-show costs the class, because we cap at sixteen mats and someone on the waitlist could have taken it. Unlimited members get two late cancellations a month before it costs them anything.

Where exactly are you and is there parking?

First floor above the pharmacy on Zayed the First Street in Al Khalidiyah, Abu Dhabi. There is paid Mawaqif street parking directly outside, free after 9:00pm and on Fridays, plus a small free lot behind the building that fills up before evening classes. Arrive ten minutes early for your first visit so we can get you registered.
