Our latest newsletter landed yesterday! It's filled with treats like free yoga, BHM celebrations, and news from our MLK Day Anera fundraiser. Read on, sign up, and keep tuning in to all things peaceful. yddc.co/news

Doing yoga with us means wellness for you and so much more. Today, we donated $3K to Anera in support of their humanitarian work in Palestine. We're so grateful for your support throughout 2023, and we're looking forward to doing more yoga with you next year!

Show some love to your favorite YD teachers, volunteers & staff! Write a review, send a thank you note, or continue to support by attending their classes. Every gesture makes a difference in our community. ❤️🌟 https://buff.ly/3NEbCrc

Pelvic pain affects so many of us every single month. It's never convenient, so it's important to learn easy ways to cope and self sooth. Join our workshop to learn a gentle yin yoga practice for pelvic pain management. Streamed live online and at the 14th Street studio on 12/17 with Maylin.

Yoga teaches us to love all, so let's keep practicing compassion towards everyone in need. That means being compassionate with your self, everyone in Palestine, Israel, Ukraine... the WHOLE planet. The reason we offer yoga is to help you heal and grow, so keep practicing with us and keep your heart open wide.

Wellness is the supreme gift for all. Go all out by gifting a loved one or yourself with a lakeside yoga retreat (yddc.co/lake) or a studio class pass (yddc.co/gift). Plus, a portion of proceeds goes to Doctors Without Borders. Because we care like that.

A retreat isn't an escape. It's a way to recharge so you can bounce back stronger than ever. Try a local one at Lake Anna w/ Stacy & Emily (yddc.co/lake), or a Mexico retreat with Andrea (yddc.co/mex). Yoga, meditation, and a loving community for healing.

Sending love to Jewish & Muslim people! There is a great need to support people in Palestine given what analysts describe as ethnic cleansing, if not genocide, there. That's why a portion of proceeds from our classes are going to the Red Cross to support their work in Palestine.

So if you've ever felt the gift of peace during your yoga practice, let's work to share that peace by speaking out with love for all beings everywhere AND sending aid to people in great need!

In case it is not clear, we LOVE and RESPECT Jewish people. Donating to support Palestinian people is not an anti-Semitic nor anti-Israel act. We've already donated THOUSANDS to Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and the International Red Cross and we won't stop. These are legitimate organizations that also serve many countries including Israel.

May the hostages be freed, may Palestine be free, and may all nations, including our own, be free of radical racist rule. May your yoga practice help you feel self love that breaks into relentless universal love that spreads to ALL beings everywhere faster than the speed of light!

Don’t get sick! Hatred and resentment are highly contagious diseases. They only hurt you and those around you. Protect yourself by sending loving kindness to all, without discrimination. Your compassion and love is an important part of the change the world needs to see.

To deepen your compassion, join the free compassion-focused yoga nidra class offered tomorrow night. It’s online only, and, as always, all are welcome. yddc.co/compassion

Sending loving kindness to everyone in Israel, Palestine, and all beings everywhere!

Support your wellness & the Red Cross at the same time! This Saturday in Claudia's Veteran's Day Restorative Yoga Workshop, you'll relax in poses to foster better posture. Plus, all proceeds will go to the Red Cross in support of their work in Palestine yddc.co/claudia

Yoga includes the practice of ahimsa. So join us at today's peace protests at Freedom Plaza 2-4pm. We'll be near the corner of 13th 1/2 St NW & Penn Ave NW at 2pm, doing a loving kindness meditation for all those affected by violence.

The war on civilians in Gaza and Israel is wrong. That’s why we’re continuing to donate to Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to support their work in Gaza. May all beings be happy and free.

Balance is hard to find, so let's create it, together. Check out the balance workshop led by awesome YD teachers Aaron C. and Morgan G. next Saturday. We'll meditate to work on inner balance and we'll break down headstand and crow for somatic balance. yddc.co/balance

If you support reproductive freedom, check out the FREE Fundraiser Flow class with fantastic YD teacher Tamsin. Class is totally free — you'll just be invited to donate to the DC Abortion Fund at the door. This Saturday 1pm at the 14th St studio. yddc.co/tamsin

This is yoga too! Yoga philosophy teaches ahimsa, nonviolence, is the highest ethical practice. It's beautiful to see peaceful protests, like this one by If Not Now, calling for an end to violence. Whether you practice in the streets or on the mat, we're sending you love.

Yoga philosophy focuses on ahimsa, the present moment, and our interconnectedness. Let's bring those teachings to the forefront as we come together for a free loving-kindness meditation for Israel and Palestine tonight at 10pm. yddc.co/jas

All sides in a war suffer. That's why we're donating proceeds from 8 class passes purchased this week to Doctors Without Borders in support of their efforts in Palestine and Israel, and their campaign for safe passages for civilians to evacuate. yddc.co/pass
