The instructors Ron and Tanja are excellent practitioners, who fully explain the asanas (positions) and associated benefits, and Chakras involved. They take a personal interest in students in am always helpful manner.

My favorite studio even though it's a long drive for me from DC. A more traditional practice than many of the area's commercial studios (this one is nonprofit). The asanas and breathing techniques are peaceful and relaxing, yet surprisingly effective at building strength and flexibility if practiced regularly.
