Yoga mat: check. Rooftop view: check. Zen vibes: check. Saturday’s Vinyasa Vinyl event at the Four Points by Sheraton saw Sun & Sand Sports host a beautiful sunset yoga session on the hotel’s helipad, surrounded by breathtaking views of the Dubai skyline for the 75-minute session. A carefully-curated medley of yoga, music and meditation made this a truly unique event for the Dubai-based yogis taking part as they practiced the tradition of Vinyasa yoga, under the guidance of instructor Megan Kathleen and accompanied by the chilled-out vibes of deep and soulful house from the live DJ.

This was an exclusive event and participants entered by uploading a picture to Instagram that showed them striking their favourite yoga pose, accompanied by the #SSSyoga hashtag. 65 people took part in the session that featured a dynamic yoga workout, incorporating both a cardio and calming flow, with participants happy to get straight in with the warm-up on the unusually chilly Dubai evening. Embodying the meaning of Vinyasa yoga: ‘to connect the breath with movement’ the group moved through a series of poses guided by the natural breath pattern and flow of the body to the soulful beats of the music in the background.

Although yoga is commonly associated with relaxation and meditation, it is also a highly dynamic form of exercise and can be used in many different ways – whether that is to rehabilitate the body after injury, to de-stress, or to complement a more intense cardio-vascular workout. Yoga is an incredibly accessible form of exercise because it can be practiced in many different ways to suit the person doing the exercise – and it is always important to listen to your body when practicing yoga as you will develop in strength and flexibility over time, so the body should never be pushed past its limits, as this may cause harm. The great thing about yoga is the potential it holds for development and seeing your body reach new levels as you come to master poses with ease over time. It’s also fantastic for muscle recovery after a series of intensive workouts and is a great way to bring the body and mind into a more relaxed state of being after a hectic day in the office.
