Georgetown Yoga

Sierra was my massage therapist for over ten years when she was in Boston. I am an avid marathoner (26 full marathons, and I continue to run two a year), and am otherwise very active. I attribute much of my longevity in marathoning to my work with Sierra. I typically received a massage from her once a week or so, and her expertise in massage is outstanding. She repeatedly alleviated tight muscles and often identified potential problems before they ever became problems. She is also very personable and easy to work with. She is passionate about massage, and she is a consummate professional.

Beautiful small space. Great for out of towners. $ 10 for one class or $ 39 for first 3. All equipment is supplied (including Jade mats). Limited changing facilities. Really enjoyed Hatha Foundations with Maryl on Sunday at noon. Nothing fancy or acrobatic but simply and awesomely direction and space for a solid practice for all levels. 0.5 miles from Foggy Bottom metro across from the amazing Café Tu o Tu. Highly recommend, at least at these prices! Sign-​up, waiver and pay online using MindBody application. Enjoy.

This is a great find. I took one class with Camille with the new student $ 10 special which is unheard of as far as deals go. She taught a warm and inclusive class. She asked for requests at the beginning and definitely followed through. What I think I love most about this studio was that everyone was not in their designer yoga clothes and in my late 30s, I was not the oldest or youngest student there. The yoga here appeals to folks who are interested and curious about yoga and not the mainstream western branding of the practice. The class also wasn’t chock full. A little warm for my taste but not hot yoga. The teacher, Camille, leads a genuine practice that is accessible to new students and satisfying for advanced practitioners. She demonstrates when necessary but certainly allows this practice to be your class and not her showing off her moves. Class was playful and balanced and structured nicely. She has a yoga retreat, too and I would surely check it out in October if I were free. When I’m back in town, I’d also do a reiki treatment with her– she has such good vibes. Come here if you believe yoga is really about balancing your body and mind and not all about cleanses and $ 100 yoga pants. This wins and I’ll back back to check out other teachers, too. Thank you, Camille!

Lovely yoga studio with a beautiful view of the hood. Also, the restaurants next door don’t hurt, neither do the other shops with clothing and such. But really, great vibes and classes in this studio.

Om!
This is such a rad yoga studio. A friend of mine is a member at Georgetown Yoga and has a monthly membership, she told me she has a free guest pass each month and invited me to a class with her last week. We hit a Friday afternoon class and boy was it awesome. The instructor (Nathan) was great. He was very hands on and active during the class. I like an instructor that will come around and give you corrections to better your practice and that is exactly what Nathan and what I’m told the other instructors do as well.
The studio is open, airy, light and really will rejuvenate your mindset. I was particularly pleased with how welcoming everyone in the class was to a newcomer, it made me want to practice here again!
Be ready to work when you step into this studio! You will leave with a positive attitude and thankful you made it to a class.
Namaste!

Love this studio, I am a new student who just started do yoga. I’ve tried different studio but this one has a spacious area and nice people. I highly recommend Camille Aragon who’s being so friendly n patient to everyone. I signed up the membership because of her

just joined georgetown yoga about a week ago! already have received amazing service from the staff and teachers! jessica is an amazing teacher as well as molly and the yoga deals are great! definitely one of my best yoga studio experiences so far.

I love this yoga studio. The place only. Offers one class at a time because it only has one studio, but the studio is spacious and has a nice changing area and shower.
The instructors are very personable and the other yogis are regulars, not your traditional head to toe decked lululemon crowd.
Practices are centered in yogi practice rather than the core/​cardio exercise mindset of a lot of other studios. I find the space extremely inviting and very reasonably priced.

I cannot recommend this studio HIGHLY ENOUGH. I have been living in the Georgetown area for 4 years now and have practiced yoga at most of the studio’s competitors in the Georgetown/​DuPont Circle area. I discovered Georgetown Yoga in March of 2014 and have not gone to another DC studio since.
This place is free from the pretentiousness and acrobatic feel of the other studios. Gtown Yoga’s teachers focus on maintaining the truest sanctity of yoga and I am so appreciative of that. It is incredibly welcoming — I have not had a single teacher that I’ve actively disliked. They have encouraged and inspired me to deepen my practice and my experience has been life-​changing. I feel so lucky to have found Georgetown Yoga. It’s the best!
Added perk: free Jade Yoga mats for all to use!

I signed up for a class here on a Saturday morning on a whim while my boyfriend had plans in Foggy Bottom. I chose this place because they had a cheaper intro special than most yoga studios ($ 9 for first visit). I enjoyed the morning flow class. The clientele was a little older than most yoga classes I attended but the teacher was great. He didn’t single anyone out when correcting form. The studio was quite warm even for 9am (I don’t think there is air conditioning) but it was enjoyable. The only downsides to the company: somewhat hard to find, no welcome desk, overall small building. Positives: enjoyable teacher, good intro special, pretty studio. I probably wouldn’t trek out here every week as it is quite a distance from my apartment but I would recommend it to others.

I just moved to DC from Boston, and I’ve been on the hunt to find a yoga studio that I love. Georgetown yoga had a great deal for new members, plus it is on the way home from work (very convenient), so I signed myself up and headed to class! I went to a Deep Vinyasa class. Here is the breakdown:
Pros:
1. Great location — and clean! I felt very welcomed and not nervous at all coming to the new studio.
2. They have mats there that you can use. I didn’t know this, and lugged my own mat to the studio. But it is very convenient if you forget yours or don’t own one.
3. The teacher was very nice and welcoming.
4. The owner sent a follow-​up email to welcome you. (nice touch)
Cons:
1.This is my only con — but perhaps the most important factor. I am into a very physical practice. I like a lot of movement, a lot of chaturangas, arm balances, handstands. The class I went to seemed very fundamental. It was rigorous, but lacked the spiciness I am used to at my old studio back in Boston. I was a little disappointed the teacher didn’t offer opportunities to move poses into a more advanced version for those who have practiced a little longer.
Synopsis:
I liked it. I will have to try different teachers to see if there is a class that fits my style. So the verdict is still out. For now — I’d say it was an average to good experience.

This is my favorite yoga studio in the Georgetown/​Dupont/​Foggy Bottom Area. Pound for yoga pound IMHO, it beats Epic Yoga, Yoga District and Core Power Yoga. Here’s the breakdown:
The yoga: Hatha yoga styles with great teachers. Personal favorite is Alex. He puts a tough class together, very focused on core. The classes are smartly constructed so that they are easy enough to follow for yoga beginners but an experienced player can take the advanced pose. Most of the classes are a flow that build toward a couple of peak poses.
The focus of the class is about yoga. Hard to explain, but the focus is less about your workout and more about just having a nice practice. I like that.
The studio: basic. walk in, take a staircase up and you will pretty much walk into the studio. There is a continuing hallway which accesses the locker room/​hang out area and bathroom.
The studio is on the 2^nd floor overlooking M-​street. Excellent space. Simple, roomy. It has a nice sound studio.
The locker room is pretty spartan. They have a handful of lockers. No locks. It’s just a couple of cubbies with doors. There are some other lockers which are just doorless cubbies. If you want to change in the locker room (just 1 room for guys and girl), you can pull a curtain and change. It’s kind of awkward though, because you’ll pull the curtain and keep everyone else from getting to their stuff.
Bathroom: clean… thankfully, because shoes aren’t allowed passed the staircase. So you are barefoot. I’m not a huge fan of this, but I’ll admit. It’s really clean.
Service: it’s basic. The teacher will check you in and orient you. They don’t have a front staff or front desk really. Like I said, once you walk up the stairs, you are pretty much in the studio. I’ve seen people new to the GT Yoga kind of confused on what to do for the check-​in process.
Random stuff:
— free yoga mats. Nice ones too. I think Jade mats.
— not a great website.
— I’ve met both the owners, and they are nice people.
Price: for a great studio, they have extremely competitive pricing. I even bought a couple Unilocal exclusive deals, so I’m paying $ 59/​month for unlimited classes. Cannot beat that!
So GT yoga doesn’t get the 5 star rating mainly because of their locker room situation and the fact I have to walk barefooted into the bathroom. Still, it’s my favorite studio in the area.

This is a great little studio! Very clean, good quality mats you can use at no charge. I was in DC for work and dropped in for a morning flow class. The instructor was really friendly and accommodating. I wouldn’t be intimidated here as a beginner, and I felt challenged as an intermediate level yogi. I would no doubt make this my regular yoga studio if I lived in the Georgetown area.

I took my first yoga class here, and it was great. The class wasn’t too crowded and the instructor was very attentive. I was a bit nervous about starting yoga, but the setting was so comfortable that I quickly got over it. I’m definitely sore, but I feel great and will be coming back!

This place is great. I came here on Saturday after finding a deal on Gilt City. They have Jade yoga mats!!! These mats at wonderful.
Great things I love about the center
1) Class was great. Even for a beginners class I thought it was still a refreshing workout
2) instructor was super friendly and great all around
3) They make really great use of the space
4) They seem like they have great environmental practices. After you’re done with your mat that have refillable spray bottles and reuasable towels to wipe them down with
5) They have a nice and comfy waiting room and I think they do well with the space they have.
6) Signing is just a simple check in with the teacher — no paper waste!
Issues
1) You have to take off your shoes downstairs. I understand why this is important, however walking barefoot on the way upstairs isn’t great. People track in snow and the ground is wet and your socks/​feet get a little wet and it can be slippery. This probably isn’t an issue in the summer
2) Being new to the center i had no idea where to go or what the protocol was, maybe some signage would be helpful for new people? or info on the site? I was sort of just wandering in the hall until the instructor came out to give me a key to put my stuff away
3) Parking isn’t terrible but i had to circle a little bit, so its not SUPER EASY but not awful
4) Registering for the class took sometime since I had a giltcity coupon.
I can’t wait to come back! Love this place.

I’ve tried quite a few yoga studios in the city and this is by far my favorite. The business is less than a year old but they are off to a great start! I do prefer the M street space more than the P street one, but i always leave feeling the same way I do after a massage. Joan and Merle are wonderful instructors. They are very attentive and serene! Eli, one of the owners, provides wonderful customer service!

This studio is magical! I’ve never been able to stick with yoga, but now I can’t stop. I take Joan Wadopian’s Vinyasa class, which is just perfect. All levels are in this class, but I’ve always felt very comfortable being a beginner with super tight hips and hamstrings. Her style is so positive, so encouraging — never corrective or shaming. Her energy is completely inspirational and as a result, I’ve already improved so much and tried things I never thought I could do. She is very knowledgeable and her suggestions for each pose on where to open and relax or push are truly insightful and surprisingly effective. And I’m definitely getting stronger and more flexible. I absolutely sweat, and the class can be as challenging as you want it to be, but I like that it is still slow-​paced, meditative, and stress-​relieving. I also appreciate that the music she plays is purely instrumental and mostly rooted in traditional Indian music. Discovering this class was a revelation: «oh! this is what yoga is supposed to be like!»
I’ve tried other teachers and they’ve all been great for different reasons. The morning class on Saturday is like Elivsh Aerobics II — the instructor is so petite and upbeat but the class is super intense and strength-​focused. I like that the studio doesn’t have mirrors so my focus stays inward, on how the pose feels vs. how it looks. The studio itself is beautiful — minimal, natural, airy, full of light. I love that the website says explicitly that «it’s not about the clothes» — thank you very much! The management is non-​corporate and has an independent small-​business, entrepreneurial approach. The owner, Eli, responds personally to any questions I have. And $ 88 per month for an unlimited monthly membership is a pretty good deal, especially when other Georgetown studios charge upwards of $ 140.
I shouldn’t even be telling you all this. You know what, scratch all this. You never read this. It’s my secret awesome yoga place and I’m keeping it that way.

I’ve been to yoga at this studio once and it was a great experience. The teacher (can’t remember her name) was very knowledgable and friendly. I felt like she actually wanted to make sure we were doing poses correctly. The studio is small but clean. Also great soundtrack. Only gripe is that classes aren’t more frequent (6:30 pm is too late for me). Otherwise great!

I’ve been practicing yoga for a long time and if I do a studio class I’m pretty fussy about it (most of my practice is done at home). I went to my first class here last week and I really enjoyed it. Joan taught a nice slow-​flow class, which had a great vibe to it. I would have like just a tiny bit more vigor/​challenge but what was taught was taught very well. I will definitely be back.

3.5 stars: Good solid choice for yoga.
Studio is average size, good amount of light, informed teachers that won’t make you feel uncomfortable. I took 3 classes and I felt they tended to be more for beginners, but then again I have been practicing for years.
