Washington, D.C.'s Best Yoga Studios

Down Dog was ranked runner up for the District’s best yoga studio in 2015. Take a wide range of workshops they offer and learn why – discover your inner-balance with their handstand classes. Or enroll in their ‘Free Your Shoulders’ workshop to target upper back pain. The studio focuses on Baptise yoga, which is an accelerated form of yoga that is closer to an aerobic/cardio workout. Temperatures are kept between 90-95 degrees for all classes. Sweat out the stress.

Himalayan salt rocks, which have restorative properties and clear congestion, coat this dual spa and yoga studio. You’ll reach your inner chi immersed in a natural, calming environment. The salts cover the ground you lay on during guided meditation sessions; there’s also zero-gravity recliners. Afterwards, maybe take a dip in the studio’s sensory deprivation tank. This Bethesda studio definitively deserves the DMV’s most relaxing studio title.

Corepower has locations scattered across the DMV area, but the Glover Park studio is consistently rated five stars. While other locales get crowded and stuffy downtown, Glover Park is roomy, and aspiring yogis will receive plenty of individual attention. Clients endlessly rave (in between their gasps for air) about the Sculpt Class – a combination of hot yoga, weight training, and a bit of cardio. This is the yoga studio to endure an intense workout and motivate yourself to get in shape.
