Sven Larsson

Sven Larsson is a Swedish yoga teacher and functional movement specialist who has created a distinctive yoga-for-athletes programme in Dubai Hills that bridges the gap between traditional yoga and modern functional movement science. After careers in professional Swedish football and personal training, Sven's journey to yoga was motivated by his own recovery from a serious knee injury.

His athlete yoga sessions are stripped of the spiritual framing that sometimes deters performance-focused clients, presenting yoga as what it undeniably is in this context — the most comprehensive joint mobility and connective tissue development tool available to athletes. His clients include cyclists, runners, triathletes, golfers, and recreational gym athletes throughout the Dubai Hills area.

Sven teaches in Swedish, English, and Norwegian, making his sessions the natural choice for Dubai's Scandinavian expat community in Dubai Hills and Motor City. He runs a monthly Scandinavian fitness and wellness social event that brings the community together around shared health goals.
