I ditched my usual boozy Friday brunch for a serene and relaxed time at a newly opened wellness space and cafe. Located in Umm Suqeim 2, Paus; is a cafe and community space that’s good for the physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
Dreamt and built by sisters Sophiya and Sarah Faizal, Paus; is a product of their personal wellness and mental health journey and their desire to share what they learnt with everyone who, just like them, need to pause.

About Paus;
Paus; is where you can take a break from everyday life. It is a space that allows you to flow and be yourself. Be in the pursuit to find rest in play.
Good food, really good coffee, talks, workshops, movement studio, meditation room, treatments, community space…
Paus; is really just a nice place 🙂
Everyone belongs here.
Apart from the cafe, Paus; offers Movement Classes, Meditation & Breathwork, Treatment and Holistic Consultation in a tranquil and sublime atmosphere. You can visit their cafe anytime from early morning till 10pm in the night. For classes and treatments, you can go on their website and book.
My Experience
I signed up on their website for Meditation & Breathwork class from 11am-12pm. You have the option of paying online or at the venue. It costs AED 100 per class and for the first lesson/class it is AED 80.
I reached Paus; ten minutes early to get settled for the class. Linda Chambers took the Meditation & Breathwork class and she was fabulous. After the class, I felt energetic, charged and refreshed.
After the class, I headed downstairs to their cafe and had a freshly brewed cup of Piccolo coffee and delicious Carrot Cake. My Friday morning couldn’t have been better.
