Ashtanga Yoga Studio

Yoga Instructor

The Ashtanga Yoga Studio is a quiet, sun-filled space in the Palisades neighborhood of Northwest DC. We're on MacArthur Blvd, only a few miles from Bethesda, Tenleytown, and Arlington.

We welcome everyone, from total beginners to advanced Ashtanga students. Regardless of experience, we have a class for you. As Guruji used to say, “Anyone can practice.”

This two-session workshop held on two consecutive Mondays each month is intended only for beginners. It offers a space to learn the fundamentals of Ashtanga yoga at a slow pace with the opportunity to ask questions as we go along. Classes in the basics workshop focus on learning sun salutations and move on to the fundamental standing and seated postures, as well as beginning backbends with variations. Read more

    As part of my ClassPass journey exploring DC area studios to find my "forever home", I came across Ashtanga Yoga Studio. And, in the spirit of all things new in the new year, I signed up for a 75 minute meditation class. Worried I needed to be an advanced student or know something in advance, I reached out to Keith who was kind enough to let me know all I needed to bring was myself and that beginners were welcome.

    ... I am also looking forward to tying their yoga classes. Give them a try.

    Cheers! (or should I say Om?)

    I recently embarked upon a journey to find one or two really good yoga studios to study in. I had been practicing Barre exercises for a while. Enjoyed them at the time but realized that yoga was my favorite part of those classes. With that in mind, I decided to simply try a yoga class as opposed to semi yoga.

    ... I love the fact that Ashtanga is a highly ordered type of yoga. And it is challenging. I left there sweating even though the room was not hot and even though we had not done any aerobics! ...

    I agree with all the postive reviews on this site. I took the Beginner's Workshop last night and Wendy and Rebecca were so patient, so articulate and I learnt a huge amount. They were very generous with their time. By way of background I have some yoga experience but wanted to understand more about the breathing and background to the poses - to get it right and do it properly. The Studio has a lovely feel to it.
