Kadampa Meditation Center DC - OFFERING IN PERSON AND ONLINE CLASSES: what do users think?
Kelsang Pagma: Beautiful and very blessed! A truly incredible place to contemplate and meditate on heartfelt and practical teachings from Gen Demo and other Teachers while making connections with others traveling spiritual paths.
Robert Wolski: We had a wonderful time. Everyone was very nice, and made us feel very comfortable and welcome with it being our first visit.
Response: Thank you for checking us out and for the nice comment :)
Sara Blackburn: I went on a weekend retreat to KMC DC and it was wonderful. It was worth the drive down from Philadelphia. The temple is beautiful and easy to access. It is a very open place with welcoming people. The teachings and meditations were uplifting and contemporary. I was able to take what was taught and apply it to my life. It is a good place to go to heal and grow.
Resident Teacher: I went to this temple for its Grand Opening weekend, which was quite impressive. The external appearance is modest but clean, with a little nice landscaping (and the ornaments on the roof, which are spectacular). The meditation hall is what really shines about the building, and the community is small but welcoming, and professional. If you're looking for a place to learn about some meditation of the Buddhist variety in the DC area, this is a great one in the SW quadrant of the city.
Amy Buttell: Kadampa Meditation Center - DC offers a quiet oasis of peace from stress and conflict. Located in the vibrant SW, near to the National’s Ballpark, KMC-DC offers a wide variety of classes, retreats and chanted prayers. Gen Demo, the resident teacher, provides profound teachings with grace and humor that directly apply to modern life. I moved to the DC area in May and found KMC-DC very welcoming. Every time I attend a class or retreat, I learn methods that I can immediately apply to my life to help reduce stress and anxiety. I’m very happy to be a part of this community and hope that thousands more in the DC area will learn about us and benefit from the timeless nature of Buddha’s teachings.
M D: Literally my new favorite place. The wisdom is life giving.
Response: :) <3
William Toriello: The Teacher, Gen Demo, gave practical teachings that opened my mind. I walked away with some profound teachings that I was able to take home and continue to use as a morning meditation. The guided meditations were very inspiring giving me the feeling of inner peace. Her teachings are light, to the point and mixed with humor.
Christine Hoese: My husband and I began attending the DC mediation ctr in January as a new year's resolution to cleanse our minds and souls. Gen Demo's teachings have and continue to offer us both a great deal of spiritual advice on how to live a more peaceful life through meditation practices. By offering our kindness and generosity towards others, we learn to be better people. Our Thursday and Friday nights are no longer spent drinking at a bar. As a couple we now look forward to our meditation sessions and life teachings presented to us by our lovely Buddhist teacher Gen Demo. We even discuss that evening's mediation topic on our walk back to our house. Very productive and enriching way of life in this new year. Glad we're off to a good start.
Andre Douglas: Helping me find what I've been seeking my adult life. That's Inner Peace.
Response: Right on Andre! Thank you :)
Eli Campbell: This Meditation Center is great, and with locations across the DC Area from Capitol Hill to Adams Morgan their classes are really easy to catch any day of the week! The teachers are knowledgeable and work with you to find your personal path, and the seasonal workshops are always a treat if you can make it!

Lighthouse Yoga Center: what do users think?
Jennifer Holshue: I love Lighthouse. The teachers, the variety of classes, a ton of interesting workshops, the unpretentious vibe, and community-focused ethos have been a welcome presence in the neighborhood since coming to their Kennedy Street location. I try to practice with them at least a couple of times a week, and with online and in-person classes available, it’s convenient and fun. Everyone, teachers and students alike, have all always been kind and welcoming. The studio itself is always clean and obviously well cared for. Highly recommended!!
Kelsi Van Veen: Amazing community, tons of great classes and workshops, wonderful people. Just recently started taking classes here and I wish I wasn’t so busy because they have so many fun workshops to try! The classes I have taken have all been fantastic. It’s quite clear the studio has attracted a community of diverse, wonderful, and welcoming human beings. Pics are from an outdoor class with Jazmin a few weeks back. She was fantastic and connected with and recognized the needs of each one of her students. As someone that has only dabbled in yoga, I was glad to find a place that is unpretentious but that has extremely knowledgeable teachers to learn from!
Response: Thank you Kelsi! We really appreciate your support!!!
Amanda G: Great community and quality yoga. The owner and all teachers and staff at Lighthouse Yoga are committed to teaching a serious yoga practice that everyone can benefit from on and off the mat. The new location on Kennedy Street is a gem that gives this great community a place it can call home. I've been attending classes since June 2018, and really love the variety of classes from the Kundalini classes (this is the only studio in the DC metro area that focuses on a strong Kundalini program) to the variety of Hatha and Vinyasa classes. I quickly became a regular here, and I've seen that everyone who attends classes is welcoming to those who are new members, new to yoga, or people just visiting DC.
Kelsi Van Veen: Lighthouse Yoga Center has been a wonderful find since moving to Petworth. Such a diverse community of people and they are so welcoming! I really enjoy being able to try many different types of yoga classes, and there seem to be a ton of great events on the schedule every month. Having the flexibility to take online classes from home as well has been great for my busy schedule. Highly recommend.
Tara Lemerise: Lighthouse Yoga Center is a gem. Beautiful space with welcoming staff and teachers. It's so encouraging to find a yoga studio that is invested in supporting the community, knowing your name and your story, and welcoming you just as you are. Everyone here is interested in helping you get what you need from yoga. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.
M: I have been coming to the studio for 4 years. I love that the studio offers so many options to take Kundalini yoga, especially in D.C. proper. Julie, the studio owner, is the epitome of quality, community, diversity, inclusion, and social justice. I see this also amongst those who come as well. I love the variety of instructors and workshops/retreats that I have had over the years. There is always something new in the mix, whether theme/series/knowledge that I glean from the instructors as well as from my fellow yogis. And I do like the option to take Pilates and other yoga classes as a member. :-) I have made some of my deepest and closest bonds being apart of this community. And I'm so grateful!
Shely Benitah: The online virtual kundalini classes have made such a difference in my life. I've been attending almost every day and wow does it make a difference. Julie (Jiwan Shakti Kaur) is the best, always offering such powerful classes. Such a friendly community that is welcoming with open arms and supportive always encouraging healing, spirituality and growth. Oh so grateful for these classes, book club and workshops offered, the teachers and community. Highly recommend :)
Jazmín González Moya: A place where you're noticed, cared and appreciated. Lighthouse likes to build community, to help each other out, and the quality of yoga is excellent, too many different teachers with their unique styles of sharing their passion: Yoga. This is a place where you can come to be yourself, be treated with love and always feeling encouraged to grow and become a better version of yourself!
Emily Tamkin: I'd been to Lighthouse Yoga Center a few times before the pandemic. Since stay at home started, however, I've taken multiple classes a week every week. Their online kundalini classes have arguably been the thing/service that's helped me the most during this time - they are such a good exercise for the body and the mind. I look forward to be able to go back far more than a few times in person.
B C: Great Kundalini Yoga studio. Very authentic, with great teachers , feels very neighborhoody and reasonable. I just started and although a bit far for me, I look forward to coming . Just like other reviews stated , easy to register on line, friendly and true sense of sharing the art of yoga with community. Highly recommend!

Breathe Meditation: what do users think?
Mary Vargas: Breathe Meditation is my favorite way to recharge before the work week. Mahalakshmi is a brilliant teacher who engages your mind, body, and soul in quick 30 minute sessions that make you realize just how important it is to stop and breathe. I highly recommend!
Response: Thank you so much Mary 🙏
Vineeth v: I came across Breathe Meditation during the midst of a challenging COVID-19 pandemic. I found the classes to be incredibly helpful. Mahalakshmi is an awesome teacher, articulate, patient and compassionate. She teaches breathing techniques in a simple manner. I highly recommend Breathe Meditation to learn the meditative nature of breath.
Response: Thank you so much, Vineeth 🙏
Soumya Devi: Mahalakshmi / the lead instructor chakra cleansing / breath exercise has helped me to overcome stress on a great extend. Highly recommended to do atleast a couple of sessions each week. Once again, thank you Maha for trying to make a change.
Response: You are welcome, Soumya and thank you for joining classes 🙏
Resmi Capron: Positive: Professionalism, QualityI took Mahalakshmi’s pranayama class while suffering from back pain and stiffness. Listening to the ohm sounds and breathing flooded my brain with joyful thoughts and images. Her voice calmed my mind and brought me to a blissful meditative state.
Response: Thank you Resmi Capron 🙏 Happy to contribute some moments of peace and bliss to your day.

Flow Yoga Center: what do users think?
Bonnie Lessans: Flow is one of my favorite things about the neighborhood; I miss it terribly now that we are in a different neighborhood! The studio is tucked away next to Whole Foods on P Street, and the spaces are cozy. The teachers are fabulous: I have been in a class with Joan now for 3 years and can't say enough about how wonderful she is. I also have taken the prenatal yoga class on Sundays for a while, which is great with Jen! Most of the other teachers I go to (not as consistently) are also great. Everyone is well-trained and quick to help with accommodations and anything injury-related.
Melissa Luke: I adore the Flow Yoga studios. I really appreciate that the instructors recognize students trying to bust out of the 1.5 level and really become more advanced in their practices without being pushy or too demanding, but expecting improvement. I also would like to give a shout out to Anna at Flow for being the best damn heated flow instructor I've ever had. She's intense but in a great way! Clare in core is also amazing and I love/hate her for it.
justin hampton: Incredible classes and teachers for all levels of practice. The waiting area feels like a spa with its big bay windows, pillowed cushions, and fresh hot tea. The best part are the people there, both the Karma Yogi’s & Fellow practitioners, it is a wonderful community
Samantha Power: All of the classes are beautifully taught by teachers will an intention to guide, strengthen, and heal. Many classes have a spiritual dimension as well, something I was looking for when I came to Flow. I feel lucky to be a part of this amazing community!
Tierra Wilson: I’ve attended yoga sessions with Ashley Allison. I always leave feeling so renewed, strengthened, and mentally relaxed.....and the music is always good!
Luke Lukens: The most consistently excellent studio in DC. Offers a variety of styles with knowledgeable teachers in each.
Response: Wow, thank you! We hope to get you on our roster one of these days too!!!
Sandy Major: Incredible rude staff! Classes weren’t as good as advertised compared to other yoga centers. Strongly not recommended!
Response: Greetings Samkeh. I'm so sorry to hear that you had any kind of negative experience at Flow - esp. any lack of warmth or kindness from our staff. That's something we prioritize with all of our staff, and we are 100% committed to getting right. We'd be more than happy to offer you a full refund for your class/es, and would also love to hear any details about when this occurred and what happened, so that we can follow up constructively with whomever was involved on our end to get it resolved to your (and our!) satisfaction.

Terrance Flood: I never tried yoga before but these people were really great.
Margarito Linares: (Translated by Google) Well for the whole community I have never been to this place but I would like it. Be training stand up of this community to overcome. My energies from my body and thus leave always successful in everything that I intend (Original) Bien para toda la comunidad yo nunca he estado en este lugar pero me gustaria.

Washington Yoga Center: what do users think?
Jennifer Dances: I have practiced yoga for much if my life, traveling and experiencing yoga studios wherever I am in the world. I've been with the Washington Yoga Center for many years and it is top among all the studios and teachers I've experienced. I am so grateful to call it my yoga home. The teachers are wonderful, knowledgeable, diverse, caring, and professional. Whether you take class with Alice, David, Jen, Ronnie, Stanley, Susan or any of the others - you will not be disappointed. There is something for everyone. The studio management is amazingly supportive, welcoming, and caring, and always has the community's well-being top of mind. I highly and enthusiastically recommend the Washington Yoga Center and I hope to see you there soon.
Elaine Su: I've been coming here for a few months now. I enjoy practicing yoga here. The manager, Kaitlin, is very friendly and helpful. I will recommend this yoga studio to my friends.
Allyson Kramer: I've been practicing here for years. The quality of teachers is awesome!There are various yoga classes offered- easy to find something for everyone. The recordings library and zoom classes have been a blessing during covid. Great owner and managers too. Helpful and kind. I can not say enough nice things about the studio.
Emily Pedneau: This studio feels like home, and really fosters a beautiful yoga community. I've never had a bad class, and I enjoy all of the teachers. Throughout the pandemic, they have been communicative, adaptable, and a real source of support. Their transition to online classes was flawless, and I have no doubt their transition back to the studio will be the same.
Cecile Fruman: I have been a longtime member of WYC. It's one of the best yoga studios in DC, offering a wide array of classes taught by outstanding, seasoned and thoughtful teachers. The studio was swift to move to online classes during Covid and has continued to offer the same variety and quality of classes. This is more than a studio - it's a community of yogis who share a passion and are driven to cultivate a positive environment. I would highly recommend WYC to all those who are seeking to start or deepen their yoga practice. And it looks like classes will be moving back to in person in January 2022 - I can't wait!
Kaili Mang Jeyarajah: Positive: Communication, Professionalism, QualityThis is a yoga studio that offers teachers plenty of creative freedom and support, so you have access to a broad range of yoga styles and many classes at different times of day. They have stayed faithfully online during the entire pandemic! We are looking forward to them carefully opening in person as well, very soon.
Susan Cooper: Positive: Communication, QualityLove, love, love this studio. I have been practicing here for 16 years. The variety of classes offered for all levels, the quality of the teachers, some who have been there as long as I have, and the low key welcoming vibe make this a perfect yoga studio. Highly recommend.
Brenda Mejia: Positive: QualityWYC is a wonderful studio, with excellent teachers, management and a community of yogis that truly care about each other's well-being. There is a nice variety of classes and something for everyone, no matter your ability or experience!
Emma Mehrabi: Positive: Communication, Professionalism, QualityI’ve been going to WYC for several years now and absolutely love them. They transitioned flawlessly into pandemic yoga teaching online, and I’m so happy that my favorite instructor, Audrey Roxas, is still teaching for them. Can’t say enough great things!
Laura Laudone: I've practiced here a long time, I enjoy the variety of classes and teachers. The studio has done a good job of going virtual during the pandemic, but I'm looking forward to in-person classes again.

Volunteer Fhnn: This has been my yoga studio since 2010 and I'm so grateful for it. The studio's attentiveness to our well being and safety is among its many attributes. Instructors are extremely skillful for all levels of students. Being a co-op is added bonus! CY has managed through this pandemic offering Zoom classes that kept us all going. There is simply no other yoga studio in the DC metro area to compare to its variety of classes, skill level and management. Anyone interested in beginning/returning to yoga or expanding their yoga practice, this is the place for you.
Response: We're so glad that you've been part of the Circle Yoga community for more than 10 years!! Thank you for sticking with us through the pandemic. We would not have made it through without committed students like you.
Danielle Lewis: Circle Yoga is a terrific place to practice yoga - safe, welcoming, and inclusive. I took in-person classes for many years before the pandemic and appreciated their experienced teachers, lovely studio, and willingness to learn and evolve over time. It absolutely isn't a "scene" the way some DC studios can be. They have worked so hard to pivot and pivot again during the pandemic, and are now offering both excellent online and in-person classes (with safety front of mind).
Response: Thank you, thank you, Danielle! We really appreciate your support and your kind review. Loyal students like you have been so important to getting us through the craziness of the last couple of years. Phew!
Leah Hudson: Circle Yoga is an incredible studio. The staff is very warm and welcoming, and the studio is open and clean. I was drawn to the studio because they were one of the few in the DC area that offered in-person prenatal yoga classes. I felt safe with vaccine and mask requirements in place. The instructor, Jen, is amazing and offers modifications to help each individual.
Response: Leah, I'm so glad you're enjoying your Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga classes at Circle Yoga! Yes, in-person prenatal classes are hard to find in DC right now. We're so happy to have you and other prenatal and postnatal students in the building again. :)
Mira Courpas: Circle Yoga isn't only a yoga studio. It is a community of caring, involved individuals. The teachers and students are invested in each other and the world around them. It has been a lifeline for me throughout the pandemic, as they navigated the safety protocols and made decisions to keep the studio running and the community safe. I am back in person and it feels great to be there live with my wonderful teachers and classmates! Mira
Response: It's so wonderful to have you and other students back in person at the studio, Mira. YOU helped keep us going through the pandemic—it was a two-way street! Thanks for making Circle Yoga your yoga home in Washington, DC.
Elizabeth Kingery: I've been going to Circle Yoga since 2012 and am still impressed by the quality of the teachers, the wide variety of classes to choose from and the overall experience of the studio. The teachers are knowledgeable, careful to prevent injury and the staff is friendly and responsive. During the pandemic their pivot to zoom classes was a lifesaver. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Response: Many thanks for your kind review, Betsy. We're so glad to have you as one of our long-time students, and I hope that Circle Yoga will continue to be your yoga home for many years to come!
Emily Austin: I went to my first in-person yoga class today in 3.5 years at Circle Yoga. I was a little nervous because it had been so long and my body is very different than the last time I practiced (I've had 2 babies since then + the pandemic happened!) Also, I realized on my way there that I had forgotten to bring a mask. From the moment I walked in, everyone at Circle Yoga made me feel confident and welcome. The person at the front desk quickly checked me in and gave me a disposable mask. The class itself was 75 minutes. At first I thought it was a little slow (lots of stretching), but it heated up and I was sweating by the end. I feel so lucky to have Circle Yoga in my neighborhood & definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to practice in a respectful and positive place.
Response: I'm so glad your re-entry to yoga felt good, Emily. Welcome back! We're very happy to have you at Circle Yoga.
Jessica Ewers: We absolutely love Circle Yoga and have been taking classes for years! My almost 12 year old daughter has always been treated with kindness, compassion and love. The summer camp is the best! They incorporate art, movement, and positive self-awareness. I highly recommend this beautiful establishment.
Response: We are so glad that you and your daughter have been with us for so many years! We're looking forward to another great summer of Circle Yoga Summer Camp, and happy that J**** will be there again. :)
Sheri Denkensohn: I began going to Circle Yoga remotely during the pandemic. I live in Virginia and would never be able to have access to the studio. It is fantastic! I specifically enjoy yoga Nidra and gentle yoga. The instructors are top-notch and class feels like a community. I would not go anywhere else! It is well worth the money.
Response: Thank you, Sheri! We're so happy that the virtual options make it possible for you to join us for Circle Yoga classes—and without the commute from Virginia to DC. Thanks for being part of the CYC community!
Joan Alker: I love, love, love Circle Yoga and have been going there for years. The teachers are absolutely top notch and the studio is incredibly welcoming for people of all levels of experience. There are virtual and in person options. I have done yoga all over the country and this studio is very special.
Response: Joan, thank you for the wonderful review! You and your family are a very important of the CYC community. We're so happy that you've made Circle Yoga your yoga home in Washington, DC.
Kristina Carson: Circle Yoga is such a special place for me and my family. I started taking their prenatal classes with my first and continued growing with their class offerings from there. So lucky to have a such a bright and happy studio close to home!
Response: We are lucky to be connected to you, too, Kristina! Thanks for making Circle Yoga your yoga home in the neighborhood.

Eaton Wellness in Eaton DC: what do users think?
Michael Hall: I'm the director of DC Ashtanga, an independent yogapractice community in residence at the Eaton. The wellness center’s amenities are top-tier, but that's not why it was such a good fit-- just an added bonus-- no, it was the Eaton's committment to holding space for grassroots and noncommercial healing and insight practices and their respective communities. That's what we are. As one of the few teachers of yoga in the area to be recognized by an accredited Indian organization to teach yoga as it stands an an orthodox darshan, it's my work to bring age old wisdom teachings and practices into my local community in a manner that is functional, authentic, secular, and useful. We get to do that-- and the space is fabulous.

Dupont Circle Yoga: what do users think?
HG G: Very weird experience at this studio. Apron arriving and knocking, the instructor opened the door and stared at me without blinking, Greeting and introducing or letting me in. He just stood at the doorway staring until I broke the silence and introduced myself like, “so Um, should I pop in?” His vibe was down hill from there, a lot of small things that triggered my gut feeling… I was hesitant to review but I’m going to. Then when I left my favorite yoga studio and called within minutes and then 2 times the next day with a voice mail, nobody answered. It’s a beautiful studio though.
Response: Hi HG G - I am sorry to hear about your experience - it sounds very unusual given our years in the neighborhood and city and countless students. Please write me if you feel comfortable, or call / message 202.552.0556 we'd really like to address whatever went wrong, you can also reach me at eli@georgetownyoga.com if that is more comfortable. We hope to hear from you 🙏
Erin Shea: Positive: Professionalism, QualityI miss heading to classes at DCY. The space is simple but serene. Teachers are skilled, helpful and most importantly, respectful. Having had a few bad experiences with what seem to be ego-driven yoga teachers/studios, a space like Dupont is not to be missed!
Response: Thank you for the love!
Ruizhi LIU: This yoga studio is located in a very cute neighborhood. I was visiting DC and took a deep flow class with Peter. I was deeply impressed by his teaching and really appreciate how he helped push my body just a little bit further to reach positions I wasn’t able to before. If you live in the area, or are just visiting (like me), I highly recommend you checking this place out. Plus, they have very attractive rate for first timers. There’s changing room and yoga mats you can use. So you don’t have to bring anything. P.S. their sister studio Georgetown Yoga, which I checked out during my last visit to DC was also very nice.
Response: So kind, thank you for writing!
Jemiah Williams: I really don’t like the fact that I was locked out of the class for being 10 min late. People have busy lives and cannot always be on time. This was extremely inconsiderate and a waste of my time and money.
Response: Hi Jemiah, apologies, our grace period is 5 minutes and we find this the best balance and most respectful for those who have already started their meditation and practice. We will always provide a class credit if you miss class or can't get in once it has started. Thank you!
DC Techie: Relaxing, clean yoga studio. The instructor, Nathan, was very knowledgeable about both the poses and provided modifications were beginners. Unlike some studios, preference was not given to the more advanced students. Teacher: Nathan's modifications took the poses to another level and he spread out the modifications among the students in the class. Temperature: The class had good air-conditioning which was necessary given the sweltering DC heat They offer quite a few new student offers, including the first month for $48 (what a steal!)
Demian Sanchez: My favorite yoga center in the Dupont area. The space is cozy, clean and comfortable and I like their vinyasa classes. The prices are also quite competitive, the best bang for your buck in the area
Roz R.: Beautiful space with great teachers. Love coming to this yoga studio and their sister studio, Georgetown Yoga. Also love their student discounts!
Stefanie G: Did $10 first timer class w Moriah and she slayed. This place has good vibes, mats to borrow, and a flow sequence that has me feeling so good. Get to it.
lindsay love: Gorgeous, calm space draws you away from the bustle of the city. Excellent instruction with a personal touch and attention to detail. Highly recommend
Ashley Morgan: Love this studio, great classes and one of the most scenic locations in DC.
Response: Aww thanks for the love 💙

Yoga District: what do users think?
Callie Phelps: Reasonable prices and lots of different class offerings. The class was accessible and the instructor had great cues and a flow that was a good balance of effort and ease. But overall, I didn't feel very welcome for never having visited the studio before. It was unclear where the class was being held (the building has several floors with several studio rooms) and when I checked in, there was no guidance as to where to fill up water / grab props / use the restroom / place my mat. The teacher did not introduce herself and instead chatted with students it seemed she was already quite close with.
daniel nathan: Yoga District is the perfect yoga studio. They have a wide variety of classes, and there is always something available that you would like. The instructors are incredibly clear, and sufficiently demanding. I have been taking classes from Fran at 14th St. for about 10 years, and she never fails to simulate. Her explanations are easy to follow, and she provides many options. And she’s just a great person.
Eila Wichern: I took an Alignment Flow class (Beginner/Intermediate) on 6/21/2016 at the 14th street location. The regular instructor was out, but our substitute Andrew was absolutely wonderful. I'm not in great shape, so the class was perhaps more strenuous than I was anticipating, but throughout the 75 minutes Andrew was helpful and supportive while leading us through a challenging (for me) routine. Andrew created a safe and positive space, and I thoroughly enjoyed my class -- it left me feeling strong, grounded, and relaxed. I'm not a DC resident, but I would love to take more classes with Andrew, I won't hesitate to return to Yoga District when I visit the city in the future. Also, classes are reasonably priced, and booking/payment was a simple process.
eimear holton: Nice, clean, and welcoming studio. Yoga district has excellent teachers offering a wide range of classes all over the city! Plus quite inexpensive compared to most!
Stephanie Pratt: Love yoga district - very affordable compared to other studios in DC. In addition, they truly live the practice of yoga - practicing ahimsa, being kind to others, and building community. I took yoga teacher training here, and I am so happy I did. I have learned so much and have met so many wonderful people because of that experience. looking forward to spending more time with the yoga district family.
Tiffany Thompson: Are you new to yoga and totally lost as to what it means to "flow into down dog?" Great! Are you a practiced veteran looking to deepen your practice? Equally fantastic! Are you a broke person living in DC who thought that you'd never be able to afford to go to yoga and also eat? This is your place- the reasonable prices and ENORMOUS class selection make it possible to actually practice yoga without going broke! The instructors are amazing. I was immediately impressed by Shahrooz, who walked our small class in the I Street location through the basics of every pose. He was patient and seemed to care deeply that our practice meant something that day. I suspect that's how he teaches every class and I will be attending as many of his as possible. Honestly, Yoga District embodies what it means to truly practice yoga. Everyone's journey is different but for me, the core tenets of a successful practice are inclusivity, instruction, guidance, and accessibility. Yoga District has a policy supporting all of those and more- they preach community and they practice it here too. Go get your Namaste on here!
Natasha Hansen: Andreas Friday evening class is a great way to unwind into the weekend. central location and lots of natural light in the studio!
Hannah Milward: WARNING - DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY YOUR CREDIT CARD DETAILS If you are signing up for their one month trial - PAY CASH. If you have already paid for a *one off* using credit card - check your statement immediately. They have been taking $97 each month from my credit card since June (from a card I hardly use except for parking) and therefore hardly check up on. I was only in Washington for one week... over $300 for 3 classes is essentially what I have payed for. I was utterly shocked to see how much had been taken without any contract, permission or authorization. And after looking at Yelp - it looks like this has happened to others. I was even more shocked that my emails have been viewed a number of times with NO apology, no response, no attempt to communicate whatsoever. Fraud committed by a company who, in theory, should be running in line with Yoga values. (Like not stealing and doing no harm) feels worse than fraud committed by some big corporate.
Response: Hi! Our membership terms are laid out in an online agreement that members e-sign. Although it is a pretty standard membership to most, just like at any yoga studio or gym, we apologize if this upset you or if you didn’t read the agreement you signed. We respond to account issues by email and we work hard to make things right - all of this supports our nonprofit mission to keep yoga accessible!
I McM: As a complete beginner this place has been super welcoming. Not absurdly expensive, chill, and a good guided class that understands that bodies have limits. Every teacher has a different vibe but they all have good skills!
Jaime Buzzeo: I attended teacher training with Yoga District and loved every minute of it. I also love the variety of classes Yoga District offers. It is the most affordable yoga in the district.
Response: Thank you, Jaime!

MINDFULNESS PRACTICE CENTER OF FAIRFAX: what do users think?
Jillian Rybalsky: A beautiful sangha with fantastic teachers who practice in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hahn. I was unsure about how the virtual practice would be, but I was made to feel welcome and at home immediately. I couldn't more highly recommend!! 🙏
Zoe Zaret: Turn off the news and go do this! I am a self-conscious, anxious mess (previously I signed up for a daylong mindfulness retreat but didn't go because I was freaked out by the idea of bringing a vegetarian dish to share) but since my plans for the day were canceled, I figured the universe was telling me to go to the noon meditation session and I'm glad I listened. Not wierd or intimidating at all. Just an hour of calm, quiet and compassion with a few pleasant strangers. No pressure to share or expectation that you have some previous experience. Very welcoming and low key. I need this and will be back.
Katie Cannon: This is a place of calm, compassion, and healing. The teachers are superb: Ahn-Huong and Thu truly wish for everyone to find peace and joy through the practice of mindfulness. There is no pressure to reach any sort of goal; come as you are and you will be welcomed.
Catra: Nice place, I go to school here. Accepting of LGBT people which is rare for many places of religion.
Angela Brooke: Beautiful energy. The people are loving and kind. It's a wonderful place to be a peace.
Larisa Marian: I have been coming here the past 3 months almost weekly and I love it!
Alex Wong: A center full of wisdom, compassion and warmth for anyone to practice Mindfulness.
Rich: Great way to practice meditation through this organization.

Dream Yoga Studio & Wellness: what do users think?
Donna Amedeo: This is a studio with years of experience and skill. This is not your pop up yoga studio. It is one with instructors who will guide you towards your goals. Your sessions will go beyond the typical 45 minute rush of most yoga classes as you have proper warm ups, stretches and relaxation lasting beyond an hour or more. I have been with Dream for over a decade and would not consider another studio even if it were free!
Chrissy Henderson: I love Dream Yoga! I was lucky enough to find Dream about 5 or 6 years ago - and I feel that the studio, the owner, and the community have had a strong, positive influence on my life. I was fortunate to have Luann and staff help guide me through many phases of my life so far: first, trying to become pregnant; then, through 2 healthy pregnancies; and now, into Mommy-hood! I have explored many different class options. Including Stretch and Strengthen, Restorative, Moderate, and a Toddler class with my daughter. I always leave Dream feeling like I just had an hour and a half massage at a Spa (at a fraction of the cost!). I hope to continue to go to Dream Yoga throughout many more phases of my life. And I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a great yoga studio in a supportive environment. Namaste.
Susan Youshock Pruyn: In these past 20 years I have been to many studios in several different states. When we moved to VA and I found Dream Yoga, it felt like home! A place where I am encouraged to be me and expand on my yoga practice first and foremost. Luann, the owner, has so much experience to share and a light-hearted approach to make the classes very expansive and fun. My family loves it so much that two of my three teenagers also attend. And, my husband has been to their open house and felt so at home that he is also considering a class. A must try if you live in the area!
Laura Eldridge: Having just practiced yoga on my own for a couple of months (no classes under my belt), I went to Dream in January 2013 for their Intro to Yoga Class taught by the owner, Luann. Dream is such a welcoming space and Luann has a way of teaching that is both fun & compassionate, plus she brings such a wise yogic perspective to every class - I knew I would be coming back. Since then, I've signed up for weekly classes every session and every teacher is wonderful! There's a nice mix of slow or beginners' classes and more challenging ones. Dream has a great policy for making up classes you've missed in a session or if you simply want to explore and try those you haven't signed up for - it's refreshingly flexible. All the classes have an emphasis on moving with your breath and using your breath as a way to focus the mind, as well as being aware of how you feel and staying in the present moment. I'd recommend Dream to anyone, whether you're new to yoga, or a seasoned yogi / yogini.
Steve Marcom: I have been doing yoga for years, off and on taking classes. I am at the age where I qualify for senior preferences. So, I am most appreciative of a healthy body all day long. When I get up, yoga helps me stretch out everything that shrunk up or got achy during the night. Having a session with Luann once or twice a week awakens those areas of my body that need more attention. What I like about Dream Yoga is the personal attention to my individual needs and progress. Also, the spiritual element - having my body at peace during and after the practice. The props are well stocked, the room is a good size and, being in McLean, very convenient to my house. I have experienced several teachers at Dream Yoga - all praiseworthy. My wife started with Dream Yoga, and I am grateful that she encouraged me to give it a try. Now, I am a regular and grateful. My wife takes the gentle classes, and I take the intermediate. There are many opportunities for special classes to focus on different aspects. Highly recommended.
Catha Pavloff: Over the past 8 years, I have practiced various styles of yoga in many studios throughout Northern Virginia area. I have enjoyed aspects of all of them. But, my experience at Dream, a Kripalu affiliated studio, has been significantly different from the others. Dream is welcoming to students of all-and I mean all!- ages,demographics and experience levels-especially those who are new to yoga and to meditation.Students are encouraged (inspired!) to truly take time to explore self-awareness as they are led through the physical - or less physical, depending on the class- practice. The teachers, led by Luann Fulbright, one of the best teachers I've ever had, are talented and trained in leading this style of yoga. You truly "tune out" to "tune in". Dream yoga is an oasis from what our stressed out, hurried culture now knows as "daily living". But, they go a step further by providing you with the tools you need to live more fulfilling lives once you leave class. In fact, you leave feeling like you just got a great big bear hug-which by the way, Luann readily offers! To me, Dream is the real deal. Dream is real yoga.
Dolly G. Mastrangelo: I have been going to Dream Yoga for about three years now. I cannot imagine life without it! The Strengthen and Stretch class is perfect! Luann is so wonderful guiding us though stretches and poses. Pushing us gently but reminding us that our body tells us what we can do. Each class explores different areas. All building on each other. It truly makes the problems of the world evaporate in the peace of the class. I look forward to increasing my abilities and I am sure that Luann and Dream Yoga will get me there!
Vinson Hall Retirement Community: I tried out Dream Yoga studio in my search for a new way to exercise. I went to one of the evening Stretch & Strengthen classes and really enjoyed myself. The instructor was incredibly nice and helpful. She went about 15 minutes over the class time because we were all in the zone. My legs felt alot better after class. My only qualm is that this studio doesn't seem to have a "hot" bikram class. Being a type-A runner, I'm looking for a class to get me sweaty and exhausted after a work out. This might be the right place for someone looking to get relaxed and loosened up. I would go back for sure if I felt tense and needed some good R&R.
Karrie McMillan: Love this studio. Used to go regularly and then "life" intervened. Trying to get back because it really made each day so much better.

CorePower Yoga: what do users think?
Rose D: Tyler is a great instructor. She should teach more classes. Unfortunately many get canceled. Lindsey and Tyler are also good but less intense. The studio is generally clean and the classes are comfortable in terms of spacing. Weekend classes are very packed but not as bad as the georgetown location, which is entirely unacceptable. The locker area is not particularly clean there and the overcrowding of classes is poorly managed (signing up for class won’t guarantee you a spot, nor will you want it once you walk in and see how jam packed it is). Dupont and city center are definitely better locations
Stefan Smith: I travel to DC regularly for business, and usually visit the CityCenter studio when I am in town. I decided to try Dupont Circle last Saturday because there was a great class time that really fit with my schedule (there seem to be a lot less C2 classes compared with YS). I really enjoyed my experience! The studio was easy to find and was conveniently located. I was warmly welcomed, and everything was clean and in great condition. I took C2 with Kia at 9:30. I was blown away to learn that this was her first class as a teacher! Kia was confident, poised, and easy to follow, and she definitely came across as caring and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed her flow; it was challenging, creative, and really allowed us to use and explore our space. As always, the class as a whole had a great positive energy; I have been using CP on Demand for the past year, and it has been great getting back into the studio with other people! I will definitely return to the Dupont Circle studio when I am back in DC!
Maria Langholz: One of my favorite CorePower locations in DC. Like that there are lots of people in the classes, and the instructors are A+. LOVE Rebeca's Sculpt class. Tons of fun and a phenomenal workout. Be sure to get there early to get the spot you want for your mat!
Reggie Johnson: Took Kell’e class last week and it was amazing. She’s very knowledgeable and has amazing energy . I will be back again to take her class. I’m no yoga pro at all but she helped me with the tough position and I really appreciated that.
e j: Great studio. I’ve really enjoyed their classes and instructors. Giving 3 stars because they’ve recently updated their schedule to no longer offer the basic class at this location except for the weekends. That doesn’t work for me. Will now have to cancel my membership.
Adrianne Daisy Hjalmar: Corepower is where I came to truly enjoy yoga! I love vinyasa in the heat format. I used to be a gym rat and would attend various yoga studios for my yoga time. Once I found CPY, I no longer needed my gym - Sculpt classes gets my cardio and toning! I no longer needed to go to Bikhram yoga studios - HPF does that! And of course C2s are great and very challenging . When I don't want a lot of heat I slip into a challenging C1, which is pretty much unheated. Instructors are super friendly and I've made friends with other students that I still have three years later! Love the community!
Taylor Camille Hood: It's a convenient location and decent sized studio and they really do work your core. I enjoy the classes and would like to continue going, just wish there were classes at 2 or 3 in the afternoon here.
Jackie Moruzzi: My instructor was so friendly and encouraging--her 8am sculpt was packed and it was a great workout
Maria Webb: The instructors are friendly and welcoming, most importantly, they make sure you get the most of your practice.
Zae: This place is perfect! There are some great people that work here that are there to make sure you get the most out of your practice.

Denise Recinos: I've been going to Barre3 for almost two months now, and I've loved it! I didn't know what to expect, but it's been such a great workout experience. The class instructors keep you moving and the music pumps you up as well. If you're looking for a workout that puts your body to work and is still fun, I highly recommend Barre3!
Kathleen Schwarz: After having my first child, I had a hard time finding an exercise class that allowed me to reconnect to my core muscles, adapt moves for my current abilities and range of motion, not strain a recovering pelvic floor, and still be challenging. The classes at barre3 have checked all these boxes! I’m already noticing much more stability in my core and the glute strength I’ve been missing after only one week of attending. I’d definitely recommend this for someone returning to exercise postpartum!
Kristen Sharpe: I've taken several classes with different instructors, in-person and via zoom with Barre3 DC and each one has been great! The instructors give modifications for every fitness level and the workouts are full-body without being hard on your joints. Trust me, muscles you didn't even know you had will be sore!
Nhu Girl: If you’re new, I like to say Barre3 is a mixture of Zumba, Yoga, and Ballet techniques combined. It’s fun, upbeat and challenging. They offer a lot of time slots so it’s easy to schedule a class into your day. Parking is easy to find and love their location.
Jessica Goodman: barre3 DC studios (Clarendon, Navy Yard, Union Station) consistently provide a stellar workout and a wide variety of options to keep me engaged and successful during workouts. The staff and members are very welcoming and non-judgemental. Highly recommend.
Elizabeth Charash: Great classes!! Love an early morning workout and it is so nice to have so many options throughout the week. The instructors are great and the studio is a nice respite from a busy day.
Gwen Cummings: I love this studio! It's conveniently located, immaculately clean, and feels like an oasis after a long work day. I've been to three classes so far and have yet to be disappointed in an instructor. I'll definitely be going regularly.
Mathea Pielemeier: Barre3 instructors are always friendly, energetic, and welcoming! It’s a great low impact workout and good combo of cardio & strength work.
Abby Balmert: Barre3 is by far the best barre studio in the DMV area - much better than PureBarre or BarreMethod. I love the instructors' energy and the combination of cardio, yoga, and classic barre moves. The ball, sliders, bands and weights make for great props and an intense workout. I always work up a great sweat - and shake - while I'm here!
Cally Perkins: Barre3 Navy Yard is a great experience. Impressive studio with plenty of space and fun instructors who keep you energized and going! Highly recommend.
