This is amazing! I wish it was around when I was teaching in DC.
This makes me want to move to DC! Can’t wait to try some of these things out next time I’m in the District!
Great idea!!
This is great!! I teach yoga in Maryland, but I work in DC. This is a great resource for info about all the yoga happenings.

Hi ladies!
I super love your site and have recommended it to a few of my students recently. Keep up the good work!
Anywho, I live over the bridge in Alexandria, so not necessarily in the district, but very close. I keep my own blog, The Capricious Yogi, and was wondering if you might be willing to post a link on your site or work together in the future?
Thanks for all of the inspiration!
Shanti,
Rachel

Hi-
Love your blog! Am wondering if you would announce Virginia Yoga Week, June 6-13. VYW is similar to DC Yoga Week, except that studios also offer seva classes that are donation based benefiting a charity. A full list of free, $5, and seva classes is at http://www.ashtangadancer.com/VA_yogaweek/eventstwo.htm
Thanks!
