Open Circle Yoga
Open Circle Yoga is a yoga and meditation studio at the Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana, built explicitly around community as much as physical practice. It hosts regular gatherings like Meet & Meditate alongside standard classes, sound healing sessions and retreats abroad, positioning itself as a space to reconnect rather than a pure workout studio. It's the most-reviewed yoga studio on this page.
What people praise
- By far the deepest review base of any studio on this list, at 248 reviews
- Instructor Sundar named repeatedly for thoughtful, personal touches like starting sessions with a Rumi quote
- Genuine sense of community described consistently, not just a class attendance
- Sound healing and meditation sessions offered alongside standard yoga practice
Worth knowing
- Focused more on meditative and community-style practice than high-intensity fitness yoga
Our take: The most-reviewed and most consistently praised studio here, particularly strong if you're looking for a genuine sense of community alongside the practice itself, not just a class to attend.
