Yelp Reviews…
“I really like Yoga District. It is a great little neighborhoody place. The mission is affordable, eco-friendly yoga. The space is beautiful. The classes are challenging. Basically, it is a little garden of yoga Eden. Check it out, your first 3 classes are $10… So good.”
“I would seriously give this place ten stars if yelp would let me… Until next time Yoga District. I miss you.”
“I found Yoga District on Yelp after searching fruitlessly for a yoga studio I could afford. Not only is it affordable, they have [three] studios and you can go to either. All I want is good instruction in a positive atmosphere–the old wooden floors and simple rooms are perfect–without all that crap I don’t want to pay for anyway like bright lights, new construction, consumerist junk, and fake spirituality parsed out to the highest bidder. …haven’t even tried out all the great instructors yet, so I”ll be coming back!”
“I think the only reason this place has so few reviews is because we’re all afraid to let our little secret out. This place is awesome.”
“definitely one of the best studios i’ve been to. …teachers are all incredibly friendly, helpful and hands on… i love love love this place. completely affordable, work hard to be environmentally friendly and just a hidden gem…”
“Go there! The young turks of the DC yoga scene are bringing $10 classes to… yogis in the city. Two locations on Dupont Circle and T at14th, this is the the place to be. With all the overpriced and overhyped yoga studios in town, Yoga District has managed to hit the sweet spot. Hip, affordable and with a sense of humor.”

“Yoga District is one cool little studio… The most interesting and valuable part of this class was the instructor [Amy Dara]… extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and comprehensive in her teaching script and her technique…” – Blog YogaNat.com

The Teachers
Julia Romano has been teaching at Yoga District for 3 years. She received her teaching certification in hatha and vinyasa flow through Yoga Alliance, and her classes focus on coordinating breath with body movement to promote flexibility, strength, and peace of mind. She strongly believes in yoga as therapy, so catch one of her Dharma Flow or Reboot classes when you need a healthy dose of self-care.

The Next Step
The Yoga District 200 and 500 hour teacher training certification programs, registered by the Yoga Alliance are unique in their emphasis on diversity of teaching styles studied, personal attention, and trauma sensitive yoga. It's no coincidence that Yoga District is regularly voted the leading studio in the nation's capital, and that most of its classes are taught by graduates of its training program. As a full time yoga school, small group trainings are led up to eight times a year by a dedicated faculty including Jasmine Chehrazi, contributor to the Harvard Karma Yoga Project teacher training, teacher training faculty at George Washington University, Yoga Alliance Standards Committee Advisory Board Member, Yoga Activist Founder, and Yoga Service Council Advisory Board Member. So take your practice and community involvement to the next level by joining a training. There's a reason why our graduates call the training "transformative."

I’m a yoga newbie. I have judgement on my own ability; enough to mitigate the experience of a good teacher able to engender bravery with kindness. I’ve been practicing in such a welcoming space for a while, but found myself with Sean, a challenging teacher, but one so deliberate and thoughtful, that he’s one of the most inspirational practitioners to inspire my effort. I’m very grateful to the space, the instructors, and the heart that’s motivated the mission, Having practiced in a few cities, my honesty stays where I’ve felt so welcome.
You should have a section of the website – or maybe on the blog – where the YD teachers can volunteer to share the names of artists and songs currently on their class playlists. After hearing the songs time and again, I’d love to listen to some of them at home, but I don’t always know the names of the songs(particularly the ones that involve chanting or are chant remixes). Such a page would be appreciated!
