Bhakti Yoga DC

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality
Bhakti Yoga DC is unlike any other yoga studio I've been to. The workshops and retreats are truly life changing. Gopi's classes are very powerful physically and spiritually. I'm so grateful for this healing center in DC, the community is extremely unique.

Gopi is an amazing instructor. She embodies the true practice of yoga, and brings to her students a way to implement yoga not only through the asana practice, but in our daily lives.

Bhakti’s livestream classes are always fantastic, especially when I’m traveling away from DC! The video and audio are strong and clear, and it’s easy to connect. Thanks!

My favorite studio in DC. Incredibly knowledgeable teachers, lots of offerings, and fantastic community with lots of free offerings! I love the teacher trainings and kirtans.

I've been taking outdoor classes with this studio since the pandemic began, and have had a great experience. The teachers are warm and provide a lot of individualized attention (from a distance of course). I can't wait to check out the studio itself once it's safe to be indoors again.

The best yoga studio in DC - and locally owned! The highly experienced instructors at Bhakti Yoga have created a wonderful community at their beautiful studio where anyone at any level of practice can walk in and feel at home. Whether you attend a vinyasa class (outdoor and online available for social distancing!), a Kirtan session, or community-centered yoga lunch, you'll be sure to leave relaxed and with a smile on your face. Get a membership ASAP - you won't regret it!

Had a great experience at lunch time yoga today! The teacher was professional, sweet, and calming. I love yoga classes that are relaxing experience and not just a workout. Her critiques helped me improve and I left feeling refreshed and exerted. The space is very unique, I chose to face the windows and really enjoyed the sunlight in the room. Highly recommend!

Very nice space, friendly hosts and very challenging but different class experience. I disagree with other postings about negatives if the space. I found it warm, inviting and very clean. I was just visiting g DC for an event and found it close to my hotel. Large and diverse class, everyone felt like they knew each other. Excellent instructor with good coaching, pointing and correction skills. I don't personally care for the ohm before and after or song singing, but once we got moving I enjoyed the class.

It is one of the best yoga studios in the area with really great teachers who are connected to the spirit. Bhakti feels like home. I have been coming to this studio for two years and I absolutely get so much out of the yoga classes, the philosophical discussions at satsang, womens circle, yoga lunch, and a history of so many different workshops that Bhakti offers. I highly recommend this studio and all of the teachers there.

Great studio in Mount Vernon Triangle. I signed up for their 10 class package, easy to use and was always able to get into classes, even busy times like Saturday mornings and 6:30 pm weekdays. I am not a beginner so it did take some time to figure out each of the teachers styles, as some classes were a little slow for me. Love how they use the accordion to open up class.
Highly suggest taking a class with the owner Gopi or Lawrence if you are experienced! I'm hoping to go back for one of their workshops.

Bhakti Yoga DC is the best yoga studio in DC if you want a rigorous yet mindfulness-focused yoga experience. I have attended on average 1-2 classes per week since the start of 2019, as well as at least 2 special workshops ("soundbath meditation" workshops). The main studio space is large and beautifully decorated, and you usually don't end up feeling too cramped even if the class is full. (The smaller studio can get cramped if the classes are full, but the classes in there usually aren't.) The community there is great as well, and you really get to see the same faces every time you come back to

I just moved into the area, and I am so happy I found Bhakti Yoga DC! I was a little nervous since I was at my old yoga studio for three years. However, everyone was so lovely and welcoming. The space instantly makes you feel relaxed and that you are going to experience real, authentic yoga. The studio also provides mats for students to use for free which was so wonderful because I currently don't have a mat! Moreover, my class with Braja was superb. After one class, I'm already conscious of my posture outside of the studio. I'm grateful to have found a new yoga studio home!

Went twice while visiting. Pretty space.

One great teacher.
One aggressive military man.

The floor needs a wash - smells like feet.
The mats are slippery & greasy and could use a wash also.

I moved nearby and really wanted this to be my regular yoga studio, but after about 15 visits, I compiled this list of why I won't be returning.

1- the smell. Not sure if it's the type of incense they burn or what, but it is super strong and really bugged me every time I went.

2- the class times are not ideal for a regular work schedule. In 2019, they pushed the start time for most morning classes back to 7AM (instead of the still-kind-of-late start of 630AM), which for a standard 9AM start day did not give me time to go home and shower after class and still walk to work (and I live

They shove way too many people in a very small room. Not worth going. You have zero space.

This studio is absolutely magical. It has a warm and welcoming vibe, intriguing workshops and retreats, and gifted instructors. Beautiful windows in the studio too. It's a little slice of heaven in a busy city. I'm so glad I discovered this place - My New Years resolution is to spend more time here!

This place has very much of a Zen-like feel to it! The staff is very welcoming and accommodating!

Love Ryan Smith's class on Sunday mornings. He is like a professor of yoga and one obtains a great education in holding the precise positions and angles! After having experienced lots of sports injuries in my youth, I greatly appreciate being taught in a way to alleviate pain and improve my body alignment and posture.

This place is an island of peace in the
midst of DC!

Bhakti Yoga is a total hidden gem!

Just blocks away from the Chinatown Metro, this yoga studio is low-key, down-to-earth and everything that I could ask for out of a yoga studio. The facilities are simple and clean, the staff members are patient and kind and the quality of the classes are excellent.

As a newer yogi I was a little nervous to attend a class at this studio because I thought it might be too "hard core." I've had some pretty intimidating (and scaring) yoga class experiences where I've been forced to do handstands against the wall, try a headstand on my mat, etc

Take the staircase up of this townhome into this small intimate yoga studio with two rooms. The front desk was warm and friendly and I was pleasantly surprised there was herbal tea in the carafe with reusable teacups provided.

I really enjoyed my class with Jen Y. She offered good cues and used great instrumental music. Her classes are also more spiritual which I really appreciated. I also really appreciated that she did not use the fans, and kept the room nice and warm which really loosened up my muscles. Also perfect room to retreat to on a cold winter day.

The cleansing sprays smelled really

Gopi is an incredible instructor. I've dabbled around the city with quite a few yoga places and I love this place. I definitely think she is one of the best instructors around. Her sequencing is incredible and she truly teaches in a way that allows you to go a lot deeper. I am an addict.

By far, I believe that this yoga studio is true & blue!
Love the vibe...as a yoga instructor I can truly say that the teachers r awesome!!!
They even offer puja ceremonies

As their one year anniversary approaches, I hope the studio keep's its authenticity.

I'm surprised this place doesn't have more reviews, but I recognize this is establishment is new (started in 2016).

Everything about this place screams community, and it's a bummer that I live on the other side of the country.

I visited this studio after a day of lobbying on Capitol Hill, and it was a great way to center myself.

I had Cynthia as an instructor and it happened to be a small class. She made a pot of warm rose tea before class, which was a great surprise to walk into on a rainy DC day.

Due to the nature of the small class, we had a lot of focus on posture and alignment

I tried out several yoga studios in the area before settling on Bhakti for their monthly membership plan (which is a great deal). I've only seen 2 teachers, but this is the best yoga I've ever taken. The teachers are warm, expert, and attentive. The class (I usually go to the lunch time class) has definitely helped me get stronger and improved my flexibility. The studio is beautiful, with lots of serene natural light. Lastly, and I'm not sure how to articulate this, but the unexpected gift of this class is the spirituality. My heart feels good after these classes: whatever I anxiety
