About Us
Rooted in Wellness. Growing Since 2007.
For nearly two decades, Bodytree has brought together movement, recovery, and holistic wellness to support every stage of your wellbeing journey.
Our Story
Abu Dhabi's Home of Wellness Since 2007
Founded by Nadia and Sharifa Sehweil in 2007, Bodytree began as Abu Dhabi's first dedicated yoga studio. What started as a single room with a handful of mats has grown into the city's most comprehensive wellness destination.
Today, Bodytree offers reformer pilates, yoga, bodywork therapies, energy healing, renabilitation, and nutrition — all under one roof. Our mission remains the same — to provide a space where people can move, recover, and connect.
With two studios in Abu Dhabi and a team of over 30 certified instructors, therapists and practitioners, we continue to evolve while staying true to our roots.
