Reunion yogis on the road! We played yoga everywhere from Alaska to Florida; by the ocean and in the forest; stuck at work and living it up on the driving range; growing new life or just living your best one. We love our community!

As Madonna says, “Don’t just stand there/let’s get to it/strike a pose/there’s nothing to it.”

Here at Reunion Hot Yoga we love a good internet trend just as much as we love mindfulness! Our community guidelines help everyone have a meaningful and meditative experience in class. Self care 🤝 community care

🌴 Walk around your neighbors, not over them.
🌴 Stagger mats so everyone can see themselves in the mirror.
🌴 Make friends in the lobby + locker rooms. Silence in the hot room cultivates a meditative experience for all.
🌴 Disconnect to reconnect. No cellphones in the hot room. Smart watches on theater mode / do not disturb.
🌴 Wait for in between postures to enter and exit the room to support your fellow yogis in the postures.

Shout out to for making collective care fun!

Happy 1 year to us! Help us celebrate at our potluck this Saturday at 1 PM in the lobby.

Thank you so much for your support in our first year of business. Over 50% of yoga studios close in their first year - and that number is higher when the studio is owned by a woman.

This week marks the 50th anniversary of a woman’s ability to open a credit card account without a male signature. Women were not able to take out a small business loan until 1988.

And yet, women in yoga business is nothing new.

Did you know that the first yoga studio in the United States was actually opened by a woman named Indra Devi back in 1948?

Labanya Palit created a book of 40 yoga asanas in 1955, 11 years before BKS Iyengar published “Light on Yoga.” The introduction to that book was written by her teacher, Bishnu Charan Ghosh, the founder of the lineage of yoga that 26&2 comes from.

Though popularized by men, one of Ghosh yoga’s greatest legacies is female owned small businesses around the world. I’m proud to be one of them.

I am equally proud to operate a studio that welcomes and celebrates people of all genders. We love empowering women, men and non-binary yogis alike, and boast a higher ratio than most studios of male to female students.

I’m not necessarily surprised we created such a fun and caring community (I mean, look at us!), but I don’t take for granted how special the people at Reunion are.

Thank you, yogis, for showing up at Reunion and more importantly, showing up for one another. Some of my most cherished memories in our first year have less to do with yoga classes and more to do with the real yoga: The ways I watch you persevere when the going gets tough. How you greet one another and offer support through life’s ups and downs. Yeah it’s cool to lock your knee for the first time, but the real goal has been and will always be self realization and community care.

Never underestimate the power of a ragtag team of sweaty yogis who recognize that personal transformation and collective liberation go hand in hand.

Thank you 🙏

Teacher spotlight: Calvin S. Take class will Calvin tonight at 6:30, as well as Tuesdays, Thursdays, and some Saturdays. We 💜 Coach Calvin! More about :

Calvin began his 26&2 yoga journey in 2017 to support his physical recovery from regular recreational tennis play. Quickly realizing its benefits, he soon increased his practice to three or four classes per week.

Calvin completed his 26&2 yoga teacher training in 2020 and began teaching immediately. After a 1 year hiatus, he joined the Reunion team in 2023 and has been teaching 26&2 90, 75, and 60 minute classes ever since.

After three decades of living in Washington, D.C., Calvin and his partner of 23 years, Javier, moved to Takoma Park, Maryland. When not practicing yoga or playing tennis, Calvin enjoys international travel.

As founder of CBS Coaching & Consulting (www.cbs-cc.com) Calvin leverages his prior C-suite experience to foster executive and leadership development to promote a better employee work experience.

“You are sitting in a chair, don’t sit below a chair.” The three-part chair pose in 26&2 yoga is excellent for building leg, core, and arm strength. It’s also a delightful toe stretch and balance challenge that gets your heart rate pumping early in class!

Try and more at RHY!

Teacher spotlight: Reunion founder Holly H! You can catch Holly at the studio most days teaching class, taking class, or making jokes at the front desk. Join Holly for a special intermediate class Saturday 7/20 at noon. Link in bio to sign up!

More about Holly: Holly started practicing hot yoga in college while healing from two back to back car accidents compounded by lifelong scoliosis. Initially attracted to hot yoga for the physical benefits, she kept coming back for the mental, emotional, and spiritual relief the 26&2 sequence provided. Holly was certified at Bikram’s 2014 teacher training, and has been teaching ever since.

Holly competed on the regional and national levels of for 6 years, placing 12th in the country in 2019.

When the pandemic hit and her beloved home studio closed (shout out to all the Hot Spot Dupont alum!), Holly pivoted to teaching online with the dream of opening a new studio eventually or in the future. During this time she also shifted her focus from advanced asana to accessible and trauma informed yoga. She bring a unique perspective to scalable practices, making sure students feel challenged and successful in their yoga journey.

Holly opened Reunion in August 2023 and considers herself the luckiest gal in the whole wide world to share this space and this practice with each of you.

🚨 We are thrilled to offer a summer workshop series highlighting the Ghosh lineage of yoga that 26&2 is based on.

🌙 Join Holly for an intermediate workshop on Saturday 7/20 from 12-2 PM. Learn about the history of Ghosh yoga and try different versions of the 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises you know and love!
