The Plaza Season at Uptown Dubai continues this November with two free outdoor wellness evenings on Uptown Plaza, the 21,000-square-metre open-air space at the heart of the DMCC district. Both sessions are free to attend, but you need to register in advance.
Evening Pilates by YOFIT, Sunday 15 November
After a sold-out debut in October, YOFIT returns to the plaza with two sessions set to a live electric violinist, both designed for all fitness levels. The classic YoPilates class at 5.30pm is high intensity but low impact, working on core strength and posture. At 6.45pm, YoLates & Chill slows things down, blending core conditioning and breathwork with guided visualisation through individual headsets. You are welcome to stay on afterwards to meet the brands taking part. The evening runs from 5.30pm to 8pm.
9D Breathwork, Sunday 29 November
Facilitator Nassima Aboufarid, who has led sessions at Souk Madinat Jumeirah, DIFC and London’s W1 Curates, guides a breathwork session under the city skyline. Everyone wears individual 9D headphones that pair the breathing with multi-dimensional surround sound, and Uptown describes the evening as a complete nervous-system reset to release stress, regain clarity and restore balance. It runs from 7pm to 9pm, and places are limited to 200.
Uptown says more Plaza Season programming, from live entertainment and culture to wellness, festivals and social gatherings, will be announced through the year. Its October line-up added business lunches, aperitivo and a pet brunch. For more ways to move outdoors this month, Time Out Market Dubai hosts Saturday Pilates and yoga on its terrace.
