An immersive day of water, breath, movement & stillness — guided by master yoga teacher Sumit Manav
Reserve Your Place — AED 199Dubai moves at an extraordinary pace. Between the demands of corporate life, city energy, and constant connectivity, the body and mind accumulate tension — quietly, relentlessly. This retreat exists to reverse that. One Saturday. One rooftop. One unforgettable reset.
Reserve Your PlaceStep away from the city for a day, without ever leaving it. Against the backdrop of Sheikh Zayed Road, you will move, breathe, float, and deeply restore — guided by one of the UAE's most respected yoga teachers.
Hosted at the iconic Shangri-La Hotel's pool deck, this full-day wellness experience blends ancient yogic science with the unique healing properties of water. You'll leave lighter — in body, mind, and energy — than when you arrived.
Every moment thoughtfully designed to guide you deeper into stillness
We begin on the mat. Long-held, deeply grounding Yin postures held for 3–5 minutes to release fascial tension, stimulate lymphatic flow, and open the body’s energy channels. This is yoga as medicine — gentle on the joints, profound for the nervous system. You arrive as you are. You leave feeling renewed.
Prana — life force — is most directly accessed through breath. In this guided Pranayama session, Tanu walks you through classical breathing techniques that awaken mental clarity, restore vitality, and gently energise every system of the body. Science calls it respiratory regulation. Yogis have known it for five thousand years as the most powerful tool we carry.
A moment to pause. Sit in the sun. Let the morning's practice settle into the body before we transition to the water. This is not down time — it is integration time.
Seven energy centres. One transformative journey. Sumit guides a deep chakra meditation while Shivanshi layers live sound healing — singing bowls, resonant tones, and healing frequencies that move through the body and settle the nervous system at a cellular level. Sound has been used as medicine for millennia. In this session, you feel exactly why. Leave balanced, open, and profoundly still.
The centrepiece of the day. In the warm water of the Shangri-La pool deck, gravity releases its grip on the body — and with it, years of held tension. Sumit guides you through adapted yoga postures using the unique buoyancy of water to achieve stretches and openings that dry-land yoga rarely reaches. Breath, rhythm, and the gentle resistance of water combine to create a profoundly healing, meditative experience unlike any class you’ve attended.
Teaching yoga is not what Sumit does. It is who he is. Having devoted over two and a half decades to the study and transmission of Classical Yoga, Sumit Manav brings something rare to the practice: the complete picture.
He has trained at the source — Haridwar, the heartland of the Himalayan tradition — and studied under one of the most influential yogis of the twentieth century, BKS Iyengar. His approach is rooted in ancient wisdom, informed by science, and delivered with warmth that transforms a class into a community.
As the Founder of Lifestyle Yoga located in Shangri-La Hotel Dubai, Sumit has guided students ranging from beginners finding their first breath to senior corporate leaders managing pressure at the highest levels. His corporate wellness clients include Emirates, PepsiCo, Fairmont, Kellogg’s, and Emaar — organisations that trust him with the wellbeing of their most valuable asset: their people.
On April 12th, he brings the full depth of this lineage to the Shangri-La pool deck — for you.
Shivanshi is a certified Sound Healing practitioner and yoga instructor whose gift lies in creating stillness — the kind that reaches places movement alone cannot.
In this retreat, she leads the sound healing element of the Chakra Meditation session, using singing bowls and therapeutic frequencies to balance the nervous system, dissolve deep-held tension, and open each energy centre from the inside out.
Trained in Yogic Science (BSc), 200-hour YTT, and mentored by Sumit Manav, Shivanshi brings both technical precision and an intuitive sensitivity to her work. Her sessions are described by students as the deepest rest they have ever experienced.
