The Desert Reset: An Overnight Yoga Retreat near Dubai

Overnight Classical Hatha Yoga, sound meditation and Yoga Nidra under the first cool stars of the season, led by Sumit Manav.
Saturday 14 – Sunday 15 November 2026 · RAK Desert Oasis · about 90 minutes from Dubai · 10 places only
The heat has broken. The desert is open again.
For months, the UAE has kept us indoors: air-conditioned offices, screens, cars, malls. Then November arrives. The evenings cool, the sand turns gold, and the desert becomes the most peaceful place in the country.
The Desert Reset is your first night back outside. One evening, one sunrise, and 24 hours away from your phone, your inbox and the December rush that is already on its way.

A retreat built as a ritual, not a getaway

You can book a desert camp any weekend. This is different. Every hour of The Desert Reset is guided, and each practice leads into the next: you move, then you release, then you rest, then you set one clear intention for the season ahead.
In Ayurveda, late autumn is Vata season, the time of wind, dryness and a restless mind. The stillness of the desert, warm food and slow, grounding practice are its natural balance. That is why we go in November.

You'll leave with:
• A body that has moved, stretched and slept deeply
• A quieter mind after a full night without notifications
• One clear intention (sankalpa) to carry into the end of the year
• Simple practices you can repeat at home in 15 minutes

Don’t miss out on this extraordinary experience; reserve your spot today!

Day 1: Desert Serenity Retreat

4:00 PM

Arrival at Camp, enjoy the welcome coffee.p

5:00 PM

Session 1:Classical Hatha Yoga

Before we can build the new, we must stabilize the current. We begin with a pure Classical Hatha Yoga practice. This is not just exercise; it is a method to align your geometry with the cosmic geometry. By holding traditional asanas, you will cultivate the will power and physical stability needed to carry your 2026 goals.

6:00 PM

Session 2: Breathwork & Trataka or Sun Ghazing Meditation

The breath is the bridge linking our mind and body. The practice of deep breathing helps to stimulate our parasympathetic nervous system, bringing us to a calm state.

6:30 PM

Session 3: Nadabrahma Meditation (The Healing Sound)

Release the silent stress of 2025 with this ancient Tibetan technique. Nadabrahma is a humming meditation that uses sound vibration to heal internal conflict and unite the body and mind. It creates a “circle of energy” that purifies your aura, leaving you feeling incredibly light, peaceful, and open to receive.

7:00 PM

Dinner & Desert Fun

Enjoy delicous arabic food and dance with the belly dancer. Enjoy the most amazing show in the middle of desert.

9:00 PM

Session 4: Manifestation Yoga Nidra

This isn’t just relaxation; this is subconscious reprogramming. Guided by Sumit Manav, this specialized Yoga Nidra session will take you into the deepest state of Alpha-Theta brainwaves. Here, you will plant your “Sankalpa” (Intention) for 2026, allowing it to take root in your subconscious mind.

Day 2: Desert Serenity Retreat

6:30 AM

Sunrise Awakening Flow

Welcome the first light of the desert sun with a dynamic flow designed to awaken your vitality, willpower, and readiness to conquer your goals in the New Year.

7:45 AM

Mindful Walk

Walking is a daily activity, much like breathing, that we often perform without giving it much consideration. Incorporating mindfulness into our walking routine offers the advantage of merging mental and physical exercises. Numerous studies have demonstrated that a leisurely 20-minute walk can alleviate mild depression, anxiety, and improve focus, all while enhancing our physical well-being. Especially in times when outdoor activities are essential for maintaining our mental health, such as during periods of lockdown, prioritizing our well-being becomes paramount.
