      by Sarah Joseph
      18 mins ago

      This week we chat with Adrienne Everett, an international yoga instructor and founder of HWH Studio in Dubai. This luxury boutique Yoga, Pilates and Wellness space offers visitors an immersive experience to switch off in solitude.
      Welcome to the Emirates Woman weekly series ‘How I got my job as…’ where we speak to some incredible entrepreneurs and businesswomen both based in the UAE and globally to find out about their career paths that led them to where they are now; what their daily routines look like; the advice they’d give to those starting out; and the hurdles they’ve had to overcome.
      Having recently opened in Dubai’s new Delano hotel, this space is crafted to be an oasis of calm and inspiration, offering a curated selection of classes, treatments, and experiences designed to nurture the body, mind, and soul. Our new studio is a seamless blend of Delano’s iconic elegance and our commitment to holistic well-being, providing guests and visitors with an environment where luxury and wellness harmonise.
      To delve into her story further, Emirates Woman spoke to Everett to see how it all began.
      What was your favourite subject at school?
      Definitely English. I loved exploring stories, writing, and diving into creativity. It felt like a playground for my imagination.

      What was your first job?
      I worked as an Equity Derivatives Sales Trader on Wall Street right out of college—intense, exhilarating, and such a great foundation for understanding business.
      What brought you to Dubai?
      The mega wellness opportunity. Dubai is a hub of innovation and growth, and I knew it was the perfect place to expand and evolve in the wellness space.

      What inspired you to enter the space and your brand?
      It was all about finding my purpose. I wanted to create a brand that magnifies my passion for getting people to the mat and connecting with their inner selves. That obsession with movement and mindfulness drives everything I do.
      Talk us through the concept.
      HWH is more than a space; it’s a connection, a community, and a sanctuary. It’s a place where people can come as they are, feel seen, and leave feeling more like themselves.
      What are the key elements of your role?
      Connecting with people, curating transformative experiences, and cheerleading—whether that’s my team, students, or the broader community. It’s about lifting everyone up.
      Talk us through your daily routine.
      Every day looks a little different, and I love that. But the constants are the mat—it’s my anchor—and carving out moments to read, write, and flow. The flexibility of working for myself allows me to find joy in each day’s unique rhythm.
      What advice do you have for anyone looking to follow in the same footsteps?
      Have a clear vision and flow into it. Stay grounded in your purpose but flexible in your approach.
      Tell us more about the services.
      We offer yoga, Pilates, and all things elevated wellness. It’s about creating transformative experiences that go beyond the physical—mind, body, and soul alignment.
      What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?
      “It must be fun.” If you’re not enjoying the journey, it’s time to reevaluate.

      And what is the worst?
      “Go with the flow.” Purpose and intentionality are key—sometimes you need to swim upstream to get where you’re meant to be.
      What’s the biggest challenge you have had to overcome?
      Accepting that I can’t do everything. Delegating and leaning on my team has been a huge growth point for me.
      What lies ahead for the brand?
      We’re focused on transforming more spaces and connecting people globally through the mat. The mission is to create a worldwide ripple effect of wellness, connection, and transformation.

      13 hidden speakeasies in Dubai to bookmark in the new year

      by

      For the ultimate hidden experience, speakeasies are the best way to get to know any city.
      What started during the ‘Prohibition Era’ has gone on to become a modern-day refined concept today, that has now gained popularity in different parts of the world.
      After taking over basements, warehouses and other hidden spaces in the 1920s in New York, speakeasy bars became a hallmark for niche cocktails and delectable delights. What first needed a password to enter is now open to the public, however, it’s only if you know you know.
      The history of the concept
      The speakeasy concept originated in the United States during Prohibition (1920–1933), a time when the sale, production, and transportation of alcoholic beverages were banned under the 18th Amendment. The term “speakeasy” refers to an illicit bar or nightclub where alcohol was sold and consumed in secret.
      The name “speakeasy” itself likely comes from the practice of telling patrons to “speak easy” or quietly when ordering drinks to avoid attracting attention from law enforcement. These hidden speakeasies were often located behind unmarked doors, in basements, or behind fronts like soda shops or cafes, and required passwords or secret codes to enter.
      After Prohibition ended in 1933 with the passage of the 21st Amendment, speakeasies disappeared as legal drinking establishments returned. However, in the 21st century, there has been a resurgence of speakeasy-style bars, now celebrated for their secretive entrances, vintage decor, and craft cocktails, evoking the glamour and mystique of the original era.
      To champion this undying spirit, Dubai has opened a plethora of speakeasies that add a hint of mystery from the moment you enter.
      So, if you’re up for a little prohibition-style secrecy, Emirates Woman is here to help with all the underground speakeasies that are worth a visit.

      9 of the best Padel courts in Dubai to smash your game

      by

      If there’s one sport that has grown in popularity over the years, it’s Padel Tennis with numerous courts around Dubai.
      While there’s no denying that the sport is gaining momentum in the region, a few people what the game is actually about. Overall, the game is played with solid racquets and a depressurized tennis ball.
      Now, there are several clubs and venues in Dubai that offer padel tennis facilities for players to enjoy. These clubs typically provide well-maintained courts, equipment rental, and coaching services.

      The sport was first invented in 1969 by Enrique Corcuera, a Mexican businessman, at his home in Acapulco, Mexico. As he didn’t have enough space for a full-sized tennis court, so he improvised by creating a smaller court with walls around it. He initially called it “Paddle Corcuera.” The game’s walls were used for rebounds, adding a squash-like element to the sport.
      Eventually, the sport gained global recognition. During the 1990s, padel began to spread to other countries, including France, Italy, and Portugal, while its popularity surged in Spain, which today is the global hub of the sport. The Padel Pro Tour (PPT) was established in Spain in 2005, attracting international attention, with some of the best players coming from Spain and Argentina.
      Today, padel is one of the fastest-growing sports worldwide, with millions of players globally. It’s popular because it’s easier to play than tennis (since the court is smaller and the technique less demanding) and is highly social, usually played in doubles format. The sport’s rise is especially prominent in countries like Sweden and the UAE, and it has become a popular recreational activity in many urban areas worldwide.
      The sport continues to evolve, with an ever-expanding global community of players, including many high-profile athletes and celebrities joining in on the action. so, if you’re thinking of giving this new buzzword in the sporting community a shot, we’re here to help.
