TL;DR: The Breathing Room at TAVÚ is the studio's mat-based space for TAVÚ MAT, RELEASE and STRETCH — 11 signature classes designed to build strength, release tension and restore mobility. Drop-in is AED 120, with class packs from AED 1,100. Book through the website or the Mindbody app.

What Is the Breathing Room?

The Breathing Room at TAVÚ is a mat-based studio space dedicated to slowing down — home to the signature TAVÚ MAT, RELEASE and STRETCH classes, designed to restore balance, release tension and reconnect you to your own body.

Unlike the Reformer Room's machine-based work, every Breathing Room class is mat-based.

Who It's For

With three distinct formats, the Breathing Room covers three different goals. TAVÚ MAT builds strength through classic mat Pilates work, scaling from a focused core class up to advanced sculpting. TAVÚ RELEASE is built for anyone carrying tension in the hips, lower back or whole body and wanting a gentler, mobility-focused class. TAVÚ STRETCH is for building flexibility and range of motion directly — useful on its own or as a complement to Reformer Pilates or other training.

Three Signature Formats, 11 Classes

TAVÚ MAT

Mat Pilates work, from a focused core class through to advanced sculpting:

• TAVÚ MAT: Core — strengthens the deep core, improves stability and supports better posture.
• TAVÚ MAT: Power Pulse (advanced) — a high-energy class of powerful movements, controlled pulses and challenging sequences.
• TAVÚ MAT: Sculpt (advanced) — challenging sculpting sequences that strengthen, define and test control and endurance.

TAVÚ RELEASE

Classes built around easing tension and restoring mobility:

• TAVÚ RELEASE: Hip Reset — opens the hips and eases built-up tension through gentle movement and mobility work.
• TAVÚ RELEASE: Lower Back Release — releases tension through the lower back, hips and surrounding muscles.
• TAVÚ RELEASE: Stretch & Release — a calming full-body session to reduce tension and leave the body feeling lighter.

TAVÚ STRETCH

Mobility and flexibility-focused classes:

• TAVÚ STRETCH: Backbends & Posture — opens the chest, shoulders, spine and hip flexors.
• TAVÚ STRETCH: Balance + Sculpt — balance work, controlled sculpting and stretching together.
• TAVÚ STRETCH: Deep Core + Stretch — deep core activation paired with full-body stretching.
• TAVÚ STRETCH: Dynamic Stretching — active, continuous movement to increase mobility and warm the body.
• TAVÚ STRETCH: Split & Glutes — targeted work for the hips, glutes and surrounding muscles.

What to Expect

Classes run throughout the week — TAVÚ is open 9:00 AM–9:00 PM, 7 days a week. As with every class at TAVÚ, please arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled start time; a minimum of 4 participants is required for a class to proceed, and arriving 10 minutes or more after the start time means entry won't be permitted.

Stretching and mobility work is widely recommended as part of a balanced exercise routine. The NHS recommends a stretching routine after a workout "to gradually relax, improve flexibility and slow your heart rate" (see Sources below) — if you have an injury or a medical condition, check with your doctor before your first class.
