Anatomy lessons Pilates The Rye Life

Where: Business Bay

If you’ve ever been to Mojo Pilates in Dubai Media City, chances are you’ve taken a class with the lovely Daamini Shrivastav. What you might not know is that (a) as well as teaching Pilates, she’s also a trained medical doctor and (b) she recently set up her own fully kitted out studio space for one-on-one Pilates lessons.

Each class lasts for around an hour, and the attention that you receive is outstanding. Plus, who better to understand your body than a doctor?

Daamini will be able to spot any weakness and imbalances in your body, and create a bespoke routine to get you stronger and more flexible. It’s especially useful if you’re coming back from an injury.

Try it if: You have very specific goals and want more attention than you can get in a group class Don’t bother if: You’re trying to do Pilates on a budget
