WelcomeOmDC is introducing a new series of Insights with yoga and fitness leaders in our community. To kick it off, we checked-in with Founder and Director of Flow Yoga Center, Debra Perlson-Mishalove.
About Deb:
Deb, a New York native who started her practice in San Francisco, opened Flow Yoga Center in DC’s Logan Circle neighborhood six years ago with the hope of bringing a little bit of California yoga style to the nation’s capitol. Deb’s goal is to offer teachings from some of the best teachers in the city, organize events and classes with yoga rock stars like David Life, Sharon Gannon, Shiva Rea, David Kyle, and Simon Park, and to collaborate across the community for unique opportunities like DC Yoga Week (May 15 – 22), Yoga at Nationals Park (June 19), and the DC Global Mala. Deb gives back to the community by serving on the board of directors of One Common Unity, and offering weekly donation-based seva classes at Flow that benefit the locally run non-profit Anahata Grace.
“IN THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS’ SHADE, there is no such thing as a stranger,” says Peg Mulqueen’s voice over the loudspeaker. From down dog, I catch Jamie’s eyes, and we communicate a wordless, “Awww!”
We are among an estimated 1,700 yogis practicing at the peak of the cherry blossoms at the National Monument, the largest yoga gathering in Washington, DC to date, and possibly the largest in North America (or so we would like to think!). The event was organized by Lululemon Athletica Tyson’s Corner manager, Laura Mann, with the support of Lululemon Athletica employees from all over the DC region.
