Thanks for supporting our not-for-profit mission to affordably bring a variety of yoga traditions to diverse communities in an eco-sensitive, community environment. Why are we unconventional? Because Yoga District's expert instructors come from a very wide variety of yoga traditions. Combining teachings from these traditions leads to diverse classes that can be adapted to students' needs and moods. That's why we have nearly 20 class types, and our teachers can even have very different takes on the same class type-- with so much variety, you're bound to find the types of yoga classes and yoga teachers that suit you! How are we eco-friendly? At Yoga District we not only provide innovative, challenging yoga instruction; we also have a tough, eco-friendly philosophy. From organic bamboo and cotton yoga clothing in our boutique, to eco-friendly rental and sale yoga mats; from composting to recycling and using recycled paper products, Yoga District is committed to upholding green standards as a Founding Business Member of the Green Yoga Association. Even the renovation of our space was completed with the environment in mind-- instead of replacing flooring, we restored the old heart of pine floors at both our studios. We also painted studio walls with eco-friendly paint. And every day we minimize energy consumption as much as possible, with studios lit by sunlight by day, and dimly lit by night. We also host meetings of "green" organizations and offer discounts to those with low carbon footprints. If you have any ideas to improve our eco-friendly mission or would like to volunteer to help us with our efforts, please call 202 265 YOGA. What are our studios like? Our sunny and serene Dupont Circle Studio is on the very top floor of a registered historic building one block from Dupont Circle Metro. Our Studio by the U Street Corridor is on the second floor of a registered historic building on 14th Street NW between T and U Streets NW, two blocks from the U Street Metro. For more information on how to get to our studios, please click HERE or give us a call at 202 265 YOGA. How are our classes so affordable? Because we try to keep operation of the studio simple and our teachers and volunteer interns are incredibly generous with their time, dedicating class time and beyond to carry out our studio’s mission. If you'd like to show extra appreciation, there are donation boxes at each studio for teacher tips. Also, we have no advertising costs because we rely on word-of-mouth referrals from our students. So we encourage your feedback at www.yelp.com and other online sites- please do what you can to help spread the word, as this is YOUR community yoga center! How did Yoga District start up? Jasmine Chehrazi quit her job at a law firm and worked with family, friends, and a collection of talented, dedicated yoga instructors to open a yoga studio that charges only $10 a class, with no gimmicks, no traps, and no frills, but with a big sense of humor, creativity, and community. Yoga District opened its Dupont Circle location in January 2007, and started offering classes by the U St. Corridor in August 2007. To get in touch with Jasmine, please email info@yogadistrict.com.
