More five star ratings on yelp than any other studio in DC.
Voted best yoga studio in the Washington City Paper for over five years.
Voted best yoga studio by readers of the Washington Post Express for years.
“…Teachers as dedicated as any in Washington… [with] classes costing about half what many studios in the city charge.”
“At Yoga District you won’t break the bank paying for classes… [There’s] a more relaxed and casual atmosphere at their studios, with students praising the positive environment. That is one of the many reasons Yoga District was voted the ‘Best Yoga Studio in D.C.'”
“Yoga District staff and instructors are incredibly welcoming and kind… I love their variety of classes and locations. Since the pandemic they have made the switch to virtual classes so well – I hardly feel the difference. And they are affordable! I love their mission to make yoga accessible to everyone.”
