I love the teachers (especially Ronnie and Aubrey!) and they offer a variety of yoga styles and levels so there is really something for everyone. They offer classes in real time via zoom and via their video library so if you miss a class, you can take it when it's uploaded to the library. They are opening up the studio so in-person classes will be available in addition to zoom. Looking forward to being back on the mat, in person when it's safe to do so!

I rarely write reviews on yelp, unless my experience was very memorable in one of two ways - good…read moreor bad. If there was a possibility to give this place zero stars, I would. I take full responsibility for what I am writing here. In brief, this business is dishonest and has fraudulent practices. Let me explain. They used my credit card to charge me for 2 additional months of membership that I did not authorize. A few months ago, WYC and Kiron, the business owner, sent out an email with a special offer membership that had (and I quote) "no contract". I signed up for one month, because I knew I was moving away from DC in the near future. 1.5 months later I noticed repeating charges from WYC appearing on my cc. I wrote them, politely asking them to address the issue. I got a 3 sentence reply from Megan stating "it appears to be a membership charge and it will end in 3 months, the minimum for the membership". I wrote back again, this time in detail explaining what has happened and quoting their own advertisement. To date, 1.5 months later, the business has not acknowledged the issue or responded to me (same email address, so I know they read it regularly). I've never had such experience before with another business. I was clear and professional in my correspondance. Today I finally called my cc; they will deal with the business directly about the fraudulent charges moving forward. I've had one other unprofessional experience with WYC during my 1 month of membership with them. It took WYC 1.5 months to refund me an accidental charge that I was told would be refunded, and it took great persistence and effort on my part (multiple visits to talk to someone in person, multiple phone calls with no one returning my calls). There are other yoga places in this city that are credible. Practice your consumers rights and support them instead! I will never do business with WYC again.

Of course there were actually candles in the room ...which gave a feel of "Lit the candles Boss!" This is not how any other studio I have ever been to does things. I was expecting a relaxed dim atmosphere with lighting provided by candlelight and only or mostly candlelight. This made the whole experience annoying and un relaxing. On top of that the stretches were not deep, and the sequencing did not feel coherent. This chain charges $30 per class, provides no mats or towels, can't the money go towards a quality atmosphere?

I had a 6 pass Groupon, which I plan to use for another week of 6am classes. This is a great studio. The instructors are unique and I've yet to had a bad one. They are prompt. Their tips are helpful. Like all bikram studios it does stink during (and you stink after). Why? Go to a class and find out for yourself. The instructors do what they can to help... I wish they had watermelon after the 6am class cuz let me tell you, they don't! While the changing area is clean, the women's only has 2 showers and a very tiny little area in front of a mirror. I just go to the office and shower/get ready there.

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!

I called Circle Yoga because it seemed like the friendliest studio in town and had the level one class i needed available. The receptionist was lovely. The teacher was terrific. It was a warm and compassionate space. The bookstore offerings were varied and not just stuff is seen everywhere else before. I only wish i could have returned for the sound accompanied class the next night but family scheduling wouldn't allow for that. Thank you Circle Yoga Team for making my awful personal experience physically bearable. I hope to be back in town soon for happier times and I'll definitely come back to this studio.

I will preface this with saying that I am taking a class at a reduced rate…read more I have enjoyed my class with Matthew very much. Sunday slowdown is a great way to begin a new work week. My concern is several classes were virtual only. I can't speak for everyone but I don't have the space to do a proper yoga class in my living room. Had I known this up front I wouldn't have signed up as this has meant missing several classes. There is an option take another class to make up for the class. I was able to do this once. But with my work schedule it's not easy to do so. In the future please be more up front with your students if not all the sessions will be in person. (Maybe it was mentioned and I didn't notice...it's possible. But it wasn't so clearly stated. If it had burn. I wouldn't have signed up) Sadly with this in mind I am less inclined to take another class. I may be paying less than other students but in the end did I actually save anything having missed several classes? **update: Anne, the owner, responded to this quickly. She apologized for the confusion and gave me a credit for the classes that were virtual only. Her excellent customer service and timely response are highly appreciated. I was pleased with both. And the class was excellent.

All of the essentials you need are there - blankets, straps, blocks, bolsters, extra mats and more. There is also a yoga rope wall and there are workshops focused on ropes. But the ropes are not just for the advanced, in my Level 1 class we use them for stretching and balancing sometimes. The family yoga is great - a nice yoga workout and fun for the kids. There are also classes I haven't seen elsewhere - yoga for high schoolers and special needs kids. Class sizes are good - not overcrowded, allowing for personal attention. The instructors I've had are great. I think the cost is reasonable. It is in a strip mall so there is plenty of free parking. It's not just an instructional yoga studio, there's a community atmosphere with movie nights, book club and discussions. There are occasional kids nights when parents can drop their kids for a few hours. My daughter attended one and they did karaoke and watched a movie.

Ok: the functional fitness area is a lot smaller than expected. It felt like the emphasis was on group fitness. The recovery options were limited to theraguns, sauna foam rollers when I visited.

I've heard the NY ones are even better, so I'm excited to check them out the next time I visit New York! The Wisconsin one is the best one in the DMV area, in my opinion. It is brand new (about 6 months old) and offers free 2 hour validated garage parking. The DMV membership gym gives you access to multiple equinox gym, including the ones I go to: Tyson's corner (free all day parking), Wisconsin Ave (2 hour free parking), and Bethesda (paid parking). Benefits of Wisconsin Ave: - Brand New - Next to Wegmans (can grab a snack) and King Street Oyster (happy hour) - Free 2 hour parking - Large range of classes and timeframes - Great bench spot for people who WFH - Steam Room Downsides: - No pool - More limited personal trainers tiers (they're still hiring) - Only 2 hour parking (about one class + a shower could fit in this timeframe). - Traffic into DC can take awhile Why I decided to join Equinox in general: - Fantastic bathrooms - cleaned 3x/day with Kiehls products (some of the best skincare/hair stuff) - Provides measurements and fat-muscle ratios - Has Eucalyptus infused towels - Luxury aesthetic and feeling - Overall lifestyle Equinox is truly a lifestyle, not just a gym. You're surrounded by likeminded people!
