To be aware that we are not ultimately separate is to see that harm to one is harm to all, and the opposite of harm is love. Part of walking this 8-limbed path of yoga is understanding what we leave in our interconnected wake.
Read morePolish your mind-sight
These mindful practices are like taking a soft cloth and wiping the smudges off the window of our busy brains. In this way, we polish our perspective, making room for extra wisdom, patience, and compassion.

Join us this Friday July 12 at 8am in Old Town Square Park as Fox5DC features Sun & Moon for its weekly #Fox5ZipTrip series. Come out for breathing and stretching before the day gets too hot. Terry Strayer will be teaching an accessible, all-levels class, and we'd love for you to come along.
Read moreThanks for singing our praises!

Read moreJuly Fourth Pop-Up Class
While traditionally we associate gratitude with the Thanksgiving holiday, the Fourth of July presents another occasion to do so.

Read moreSacred Threads: The Story of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras
Join us for this six-week series of myth-busting, story-telling, meditation-inspiring, and sacred-text-decoding with Annie Moyer, Master of Divinity student and longtime fan of Patanjali’s 196 aphorisms on Yoga and all it means.
Read moreThe sun, the moon, and us mere mortals

Read moreSomething big is arising this winter
In addition to our standard variety of hatha and vinyasa, we're thrilled to include some new ways to warm up, build strength, and strenuously exert mind, body, and heart.

Troubling emotions can be likened to raw potatoes, inedible in their current state, but subject to transformation when effort and intention are applied.

Read moreA thought, or four
All we can do is recognize the precious opportunities we have right in front of us to celebrate joys and to hold space for pain, whether that pain is in our own hearts, in the hearts of friends and family, or halfway across the world among human hearts enduring devastating violence.
Read moreBe Micro-Amazed

Read moreWild Asana Book Release Celebration with Alison Zak
Wild Asana: Animals, Yoga, and Connecting Our Practice to the Natural World is a 'nature memoir through a yoga lens.' It explores how we can connect with and become animals on our yoga mats, taking inspiration from common critter pose names, Hindu mythology, wildlife research, and more.
