I've been a devotee of Flow for the last twelve years or so, with a five-year hiatus while I was…read moreliving on Capitol Hill. It's a wonderful studio. The classes are rigorous and the practitioners are all serious about yoga. I'm always learning and pushing and improving at Flow, and I absolutely prefer it to any other studio in DC. There are many outstanding teachers offering a range of different styles, from Jiva to Rocket to Dharma, and it's a great bonus that the studio supplements these yoga classes with cardio options (Flow Fit or Pilates). I adore Mimi Reiger's classes because they are so exhausting, but there are many terrific instructors, including Cory Bryant, Jen Rene, Angela Cerkevich, Alicia Moyer, Sam Breschi and Chris Reber. My best advice to those interested in trying out Flow is that yoga newbies should probably be careful about taking intermediate classes. There is some instruction offered in them, but they aren't intended to teach the basics of a safe practice. If you are misaligned, you are extremely unlikely to get a correction in a class of 40+ practitioners. On the other hand, if you have a halfway strong practice, it can be really inspiring to learn from watching other, more advanced students in the class. I've tried a number of crazy modifications that I would never have thought to try out after watching someone next to me pull it off. On the downside, there are also occasionally some disrespectful practitioners (usually guys, let's face it) who will be falling out of headstands onto your mat or whacking you in the head with their feet. This is something that I've encountered more at Flow than at any other studio. You absoutely have to be able to tolerate a degree of crowding and chaos, so if that's a turnoff, I'd steer clear of the busier classes. It's also not a particularly friendly place. (I'm so surprised to read other reviews that say it is!) The staff are cheery, of course, but I rarely see people chatting and teachers will often actually instruct you to make eye contact with the person next to you at the beginning of class, because otherwise it wouldn't happen. There is a sense of community, but it's one that is definitely based on the routine of getting in, sweating and getting right on out. I've been practicing at Flow for the better part of a decade -- and I feel like it is my yoga home. But I'm always surprised when someone speaks to me hile I'm there. I don't mean that as a bad thing - but be forewarned that Flow is much chillier than other studios I've practiced at. This is a competitive not a supportive environment, and even I (former ballet dancer with 15+ years of yoga behind me) often feel a little intimidated. I wholeheartedly recommend Flow to anyone who's looking for a challenging practice and strong instruction without a lot of frills.

If it wasn't for the welcoming atmosphere and convenient location of Woodley Park Yoga, I don't know if I would've kept up my practice. As a newbie to yoga, I take the beginner class on Saturdays at 11am and the guided quarter primary class on Tuesdays at 7pm, both taught by Elsie. She has a calming voice, goes over the poses for new folks, and encourages you through the more difficult poses. The beginner class is easier if you've at least tried yoga at another studio or at home with YouTube videos. Be prepared to sweat a little! The studio is sizeable and allows 13-15 people max depending on the class. You can store your yoga mat in the back room, and there are wipes for your mat. I don't usually see blocks or towels readily available, but ask if you need them. The studio is on the third floor of a four-story building in Woodley Park, above Uni Sushi (no elevator). There's a small bathroom in the back of the studio. If I can think of only one downside, it's not being able to pay for classes online in advance, even though you can reserve your spot online. You need to go to the studio and purchase classes directly with the teacher, which takes time before/after class if you're waiting for others to pay too. Better to just buy a pack of 5, 10, or 20 classes if you plan to come back regularly. Checking in relies a bit on the honor system: you write your name on a card and the number of classes, then cross each number off when you show up to class. Whether your a seasoned yogi or a newbie like me, I highly recommend dropping in Woodley Park Yoga for a class!

Overall, I really enjoyed the instructor, the cleaniness of the studio & of course the non-judgemental vibe of fellow yogis!

I felt like I'd been part of the community for years. The owner (Charlie), front desk person and instructor (Sam) all chatted me up while I waited for the class to start. I let on that I had a bit of anxiety because the class was out of my comfort zone and the instructor let me know that it was okay to feel that way. Yes, the class challenging for me, more so due to the heat but I feel like I held my own. I definitely felt that class the next day. Sam is a gem and I look forward to taking other classes as this studio.

They have your yoga flow and they also have a more fast-paced "rocket" flow. Things to note: Because it's right by the street and a historic building, when loud cars/trucks pass by you do have to tune that out. You also have to walk up a staircase above Emissary (accessibility note). Overall I love the small studio and its small class sizes, historic row house location and brick walls, and have enjoyed the classes here!

The instructor was incredibly detailed with her cues and offered modifications and progressions throughout, which made it easy to follow no matter your experience level. One thing I really appreciated as someone traveling was that they provide everything you need. They have high-quality Manduka mats along with all the props, so I didn't have to worry about bringing my own mat on vacation and yes it was free! The studio itself is spacious, clean, and has two bathrooms (one by the front desk and another near the practice room), which was a nice touch. Another bonus is the location. The neighborhood is super walkable with lots of great lunch spots nearby, making it easy to grab a bite and explore after class. Would definitely come back the next time I'm in DC!

I've only been going for two weeks, but I've tried a variety of morning, afternoon and evening classes. I was looking for instructors that push you, yet understand if you have injuries or days you just need to take it easy, and I definitely found all the instructors to be that way. RSVP for Class I would definitely recommend signing up for class in advance. So far I've only been to a few packed classes (Sunday morning and Friday evening), but I'm sure there are other times that are pretty popular. They do allow someone in from the waitlist if you arrive early. Arriving Early I'd recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to get a good spot, but I also got there right on time for one early morning class and was fine getting in. The Studio Space The space is not huge, but they do a great job making it feel peaceful with plants and natural light. Hard wood floors and an angled roof make it feel nice and cozy. Even in 100 degree weather, the AC was working well. I like that the instructor is in the middle so everyone can see them as both sides of the studio face in. Front Desk Friendly and helpful front desk volunteers. A Couple FYIS: 1. Four Sets of Stairs Walk-Up For me, walking up four sets of stairs is a great cardio add-on, but FYI if you aren't in the mood to walk up that many stairs. 2. Newbie Offers Check out their website for their introductory offers as they don't all appear on the Mindbody app, and you can only use one. They're very strict about it. Final Verdict Love this yoga studio! They have the widest variety of times for yoga and a lot of great teachers. Also, love that there's a community feel here - instructors and yogis are all friendly and laidback.
