"...teachers as dedicated as any in Washington... [with] classes costing about half what many studios in the city charge"
-- The Washington Post
"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." --Review at www.yelp.com
"I would seriously give this place ten stars if yelp would let me... Until next time Yoga District. I miss you." --Review at www.yelp.com
"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!" --Review at www.yelp.com
"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." --Review at www.yelp.com
"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..." --Review at yelp.com

"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." --Review at yelp.com
"I made it to Bernie's Yoga for Misfits class... which was great... The studio is great, simple and close to home, exactly what I need."--E-mail review
