The location of the building is not difficult to find, but once you enter the building, make sure to go upstairs, not downstairs. You can't miss it once you begin heading upstairs. I paid $20 for a drop-in fee, and the class was fantastic! The instructor is experienced, especially in Yoga Nidra, and I left feeling relaxed and refreshed. They have plenty of blankets and bolsters to make your session comfortable. The studio is beautiful with large, glass windows allowing natural light into the studio. I intend on taking this class in the future, and looking into their other offerings, too! *Note: my visit was Pre-COVID-19 (January I think).

I started attending here this year and I finally feel like I've found my home. After experimenting around the city with various forms of meditation, it was this place that I really seem to connect to. They offer so many beginner classes that are free to all such as the Thursday evening meditation and the Wednesday Heart of Recovery. If you have something donate, you may, and if you become a member there appears to be so much available at such a low cost because access to healing should not break the bank. I am so grateful for this beautiful center.

The way of meditation is laid out clearly, step by step, with lots and lots of program support for practice and education. Every one is welcome - if you're looking for a place to come sit, come to one of the evening sits. If you want to study, sign up for class. If you're looking for a place to make an urban retreat over a weekend, this is the place. Want to introduce your kids to mindfulness? Come join the family group.

The venue nor the organizer had them for guests who may have forgotten or just didn't read that part, not even for purchase. There's a Walgreens nearby so I bought some. By the time I get back, I'm told that the organizer was refusing to conduct the class because of bad energy or vibes..or something. Nothing can be done about that. We're not going to argue. However, they refused to conduct the class and refused to refund our money...almost $60 each. I received a small candle...probably less than 5 Oz. That is all. A business can choose who they service, but to refuse service and refuse a refund because of what you deem as bad energy or vibes really is horrible business and I would say unethical. It's an interesting place, but the customer service needs improvement.

Having a high stress job and high stress personal relationship with my significant other I struggled every day to remain focused and put my best face forward for those I came into contact with. It just wasn't working. After years of therapy I found Rockville Meditation.

I now meditate daily and am able to let go of thoughts and feelings that in the past were hindering my happiness. My days are brighter and my capability of "letting go" has truly brought me to a place I had always sought out but could never get to. I highly recommend Rockville Meditation!! Cindy

You can have tea, water, or san pellegrino before diving into a stress relief meditation, emotion based training, or breathing session. Caitlin, Kirsten, and Emily are all really kind and wonderful teachers. They explain different stones with healing properties and really help you destress in the 30 minute or 1 hour session. You can come wearing your work clothes or anything you find comfortable and either lie down or sit up in a position that makes you feel comfortable during meditation and that's what I appreciate about Glow Club. I ended up purchasing the 10 credit pack after a free session and have had a solid experience. I look forward to trying some yoga in the fall when the class is available. The evening glow is probably my favorite class at the moment. The breathing class was intense for me and I would like to try it again to really get into it. I found myself forgetting to go with the rhythm during active breathing and almost falling asleep. I live and work in Silver Spring so I can only attend evening classes but these classes are great as a "cool down" post work out as well. They also help me focus on the present so hopefully they can have a similar affect on you.

This place has become a vital part of my weekly routine, offering a grounded and authentic environment for anyone looking to deepen their practice. The center offers a variety of ways to engage, especially the Day-Long Retreats held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month. These sessions are perfect for a mid-week reset; they provide the dedicated time and space needed to quiet the mind in a way that's hard to find elsewhere. Whether you are joining virtually or walking through their doors in person, the sense of peace and community is immediate. It's a rare find and deeply personal in its atmosphere. If you're in the area and looking for a supportive meditation community, I can't recommend them enough.

Background: I'm nearly 40 and was brand new to yoga six months ago. Was not a regular exerciser and…read morefelt intimidated by group classes. 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!
