Good Ideas, Bad Ideas

Looking to put a cap on the week?

Want to start the weekend off right?

Need to be good before you can go be bad?

Happy Hour Yoga!

Turn Friday’s afternoon toil into weekend bliss in the company of your friends, peers, colleagues, and fellow practitioners!

How does a 3,000sqft roofdeck sound? Consider yourself invited to the place that’s been home to my practice for years: Balance Gym.

Get ready for 90 minutes of prana-pulsing blissed out vinyasa with strong influences from the Ashtanga and Iyengar traditions.

Mid City Yoga was started with the idea that yoga can be done anywhere– boardroom, bedroom, shala, or studio (be it yoga or crossfit). For many folks, the gym setting can be the most unconventional space of all.

Balance is the gym at which I discovered my love for yoga. It’s the place that provided haven and encouragement for me to come to my mat more than once a week. This is the place that gave me my first teaching gig. I love it here, and you will, too!

Okay, enough shmaltz. If my love for the place doesn’t sell you on it, the roofdeck at dusk sure will. The minute it heats up, thats where we’ll be. And in the mean time (or in cases of inclement weather), we have an awesome (indoor) studio at our disposal.

Washington, DC, 20016

Join me for a special two week series of ashtanga vinyasa inspired practice. This will be a modified ashtanga sequence for both standing and seated postures with playful exuberance and challenging twists that are at times incredibly familiar and oft-times turned on their head [har har]. Not for first-time students. Standing postures focus on leg strengthening, hip opening and balancing. Students are also introduced to inversions like handstands and forearm stands for the first time.

Ashtanga Yoga Center mission:
One of our goals is to give the student, whether a beginner or advanced a home to practice Ashtanga. It is our intention to keep the teaching of Ashtanga as close to the way we have been taught.
