She was up bright and early…
Bollywood actress and dancer Malaika Arora is well known for her love of fitness, and it was that side of things that brought her to Dubai this weekend.
The 44-year-old star led the opening class of XYoga Dubai on Friday, with thousands flocking to Kite Beach to join in.
Arora took to the stage with Yogi Cameron for the morning session, which we have to say, looked pretty dreamy.

XYoga shared a short video of the class to their Facebook page:
That’s got to be a very chill way to start your weekend.
Organisers were expecting 10,000 people over the weekend, The National reported. The main stage area were Arora appeared had space for 1,000 yogis, with two smaller stages and a nature-themed oasis studio also on site.
Thirty-five Dubai yoga teachers took classes over the weekend, with 60 different classes taking place.
Anyone who follows Arora on Instagram won’t be surprised to see her moving through a few asanas. The star often posts about her workouts, whether they’re in the gym, in the yoga studio or in pilates class.
Hands up who didn’t spot the sling at first and thought she was somehow doing a plank with her feet well off the ground. You can tell us.
And when she’s not reminding us to rebook with our personal trainers, Arora also posts the kind of outfits we want to recreate.
Suddenly a sequinned bomber jacket seems like an absolute necessity.
Just right for heading straight from yoga to dinner…
