U & Me St.

Yoga District: U Street has a wonderful yoga community with studios as unique as their followers and teachers. Yoga District caught our attention with its echo-friendlly practices and the most affordable prices in town. From hot to restorative, to a refreshing hybrid (Yogalates), U&Me sought out some of the best reasons to throw down your mat and find your inner zen at this warm and welcoming yoga house.

Candlelight Flow:  As the weekend winds down and the anticipation of a new week creeps to the forefront of your mind, pause and take a few deep breaths. Then head to a candle lit yoga class at Yoga District. Candlelight Flow, lead by Michelle B., focusses on slow movements and longer poses that leave you feeling centered. The candles set a peaceful atmosphere, allowing for a greater focus and calm being. Find your zen at Candlelight Flow: Sundays at 5PM, $10/class.
