Dupont Yoga DC

Steve Abate’s compact yoga studio in Dupont Circle packs the punch needed to knock out workday wear and tear. A walk up four flights of stairs is part of the journey to the studio…

getting you warmed up and ready for class. On any given day at Yoga District Dupont, you’ll find Steve hamming it up with students, old and new. Soon after Steve moved to Dupont Circle from California, he started working at Yoga District washing your stinky mats. In no time at all, Steve graduated from Yoga District’s first teacher training class and started to run the studio, taking the place over with his unabashed charm, rebellious teaching style and classic 70′s mustache.

Steve is a fan of tradition, teaching the set sequences of poses from the Sivananda and Astanga yoga traditions. But when it’s time to get creative, Steve is a true genius at coming up with amazing class plans to get your mind off of what ails you and your body into some pose you didn’t know existed. Steve is certified as a E-RYT 200 by Yoga Alliance and assists with Yoga District’s teacher training program.

To give back to the community, Steve taught a weekly class to resettling refugees from West African nations at a nearby church on 16th St. Since then, the Dupont studio has come to host a variety of other outreach programs, including an ongoing weekly yoga class for survivors of human trafficking.

Welcoming to all who can muster the five flights of stairs up to the studio, Yoga District Dupont is located just a couple blocks from the Dupont Circle Metro’s Q Street exit. Check out a map to the studio here.
