Created with purpose

Homegrown right here in the UAE, CULTIVATE was created by Carine, an expat and a mom of three, during the excruciatingly difficult “pandemic times” —when school-life and office-life all became part of home life. Carine was looking for a place where she could reconnect with her mind and body and when she couldn't find it, she decide to create it. 

Yoga, Pilates, Circuit Training, HIIT, Cross Fit and many more, all in one place, with every class and teacher carefully hand-picked for a curated and holistic offering meant to optimize your mind and body connection.

CULTIVATE is a family-run, cosy space, where you'll find a community, but never a crowd. A place that feels homey and yet, it’s your break from home; somewhere you don’t have to be a mom, a husband, a boss, or an employee —where your time belongs to no one but you. A space of your own.

  • Carine

    FOUNDER

    After years in event management developing strong human and operational skills, Carine moved to Dubai and dedicated herself to life's best role: full time mom. Seven years and three boys later, Carine was ready for a new journey: starting her own business. Though she was brought up with strong values around cultivating mind and body, it is only during the pandemic that she realized their importance--and how she wanted to share them. CULTIVATE is her fourth baby.
