Came here for DivaDance class with my fellow Yelpie friend! It was fun to be dancing again! It was my birthday week and the song happened to be the 50 cent song about birthdays. Lol so epic! The instructor was a good hip hop dancer-- street style. The studio is shaped oddly so it's not best for moving fully and freely for so many people. The bathroom smelled great and was mostly clean but the toilet was visibly dirty so makes it feel gross. Go, enjoy!! read more

There's something for every yogi at Epic Yoga. They have a lot going for them, from the amazing teachers to the the pretty exposed brick in the studio. I've felt comfortable in their all levels classes, have tried yogalates, and attended their special events. They also often have $5 community classes taught by newer teachers and they are affordable on ClassPass. I volunteered here a few years ago with their seva program and it was a lovely way to get free classes through a minimum volunteer requirement of one shift a week! What's not to love about epic yoga? read more

One of the best yoga spots in DC! Absolutely stunning space with loads of different classes (I love the hot yoga). The owner, Emma, is awesome and personable and so welcoming. All of the instructors are great (shout out to Aubrey!) and they really go above and beyond. read more

I came here with a friend for a hot yoga class through ClassPass. The space is beautiful and serene. Upon entering, we were happily greeted by the receptionists who explained everything to us since we were newbies to Epic Yoga. The locker room is clean and stocked with any toiletries you may need. Although we brought our own mats, we appreciated the free mat selection they had. We actually opted to use those instead of the ones we brought because our mats weren't meant for yoga. The room for the class was toasty but not too hot. People trickled in minutes before class time, which made the back much too crowded, so the instructor made everyone shift to the front to make space. I definitely thought there were too many people squeezed in the room and felt like I was too close for comfort to the other people in the class. I forgot the instructor's name, but she was clear in her instructions and even gave alternatives and challenges for certain positions. It was good that she asked me first before adjusting my form because not everyone is comfortable with being touched. This was actually my first yoga class ever, and it was better than I had expected. I did not feel like a zen master or completely rejuvenated or anything like that, but I think I definitely strengthened my core and got a good sweat. read more

Love the classes and the teachers here. One of the best spots in the city, such a good variety of classes. And the space is beautiful.

I am an instructor here, though my review is definitely not biased. I started practicing at Epic when they opened over 10 years ago. This studio space has transformed my life. It is the most peaceful place to be in the city and their is such a variety when it comes to instructors, the studio is very inclusive to all humans. There is not one teacher that I don't recommend because they are all unique and wonderful. Can not recommend this studio enough. read more

I've tried one class here and enjoyed it. They have a reasonable locker room with showers - score! The rooms are nice and calming too. My class was over packed, but it was a free promotional session, so, I'm not going to judge too harshly. I think that my instructor's name was Paul? He was really great. I liked his all levels flow. He had flow combinations I haven't had before, which was fun and novel. Overall, if I lived or worked nearby, I'd definitely consider using this studio. read more

Loved my experience here. The venue is beautiful and clean; Allison (the instructor) was awesome--she offered individual help as well as insightful yoga teachings in her practice. I was greeted really kindly and was shown around the facility. Would highly recommend. read more

Peaceful, safe, artsy, cool, and unique! I've been taking classes at Epic Yoga DC and recently went through their Yoga Teacher Training program. I highly recommend it! The space is unreal and the photos here don't do it justice. You're in this super cool DC architecture building that has skylights in every yoga studio, with exposed bricks, real wood, and warm and caring teachers. I love this spot! They're being very COVID-19 safe - checking vaxx cards and temperatures for everyone upon arrival (even though I've been there multiple times). They also have lots of sanitizing wipes on hand for props. If you're thinking about getting in your yoga practice again or even just trying it for the first time, would definitely recommend this spot! They're very fair and kind people. It's hard to keep your business going and this is not a big, commercial studio. I can only speak to my own lived experiences. As a Southeast Asian WOC, I have not experienced racism from the owner (a WOC), teachers, or managers. I have always felt safe. This place helped refortify my love for yoga and its roots again. read more

I like epic yoga for a few reasons but they definitely have room for improvement in my eyes: Classes There are hot classes and non-heated style classes. The classes do not seem to have a formalized structure but rather. But rather a buildup to the pose of the day to work on and improve a certain pose. I have signed up for class thinking I was taking a heated class which turned out not to be so descriptions could be improved. Instructors The instructors are hands on so if you are doing something wrong they will correct you by positioning you right. They do demonstrations of poses I cant comprehend yet without snapping my spinal cord but all the power to them. Studio Nice space with blocks, spray, and blankets available to the class. No mirrors but plenty of wall space for wall work to help with poses. The place isn't well insulated and can get cold. The instructors turn on the heater to somewhat control the temp. This heater continuously makes this clanking noise which is basically the opposite of what I am going for during a yoga class. It totally cramps my savasana. You know? Changing Rooms Complete with cubbies, and showers and towels provided. Bring your own body wash. Sinks for shaving (dudes only I presume) are separate from the changing rooms. Overall Rating Because of the loud anti-zen heater I have to give this place 3 stars until that is fixed. I will continue to go (it is a convenient classpass location for me after-all) and happy to update my review when it is. read more

Epic is right! This studio is gorgeous, gigantic, and they have a life size cardboard Michael Jackson cutout hanging out in the lounge with hula hoops (see pics). The studio has three rooms for classes; one for yoga, one for heated yoga, and one for yoga barre. There are two large lounge/sitting areas to hang out in and the women's locker room is huge. It has five showers and complimentary lockers. They also have complimentary towels and mats, and they even clean the mats for you. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the classes I took here. Emma's yoga barre classes are a mix of power vinyasa and ballet. I know some people are anti fusion-type classes, but I don't have a problem with them. I think it is a nice change of pace and she moves the class along at a really good tempo. It is much more yoga than ballet. She also teaches a red sun yoga class, which is like Budokon. It's a really good workout and I recommend trying the class if you haven't already. Melissa's yoga barre class is similar to other barre classes I have taken at other studios. She has great energy and is really motivating. Joan teaches a really pleasant yoga class and Sonja's de-stress class was superb. Joan and Sonja were the only teachers that gave me hands on corrections, something that I wish the other teachers did too. I had a fantastic month at Epic, but will not be continuing to take class regularly because the class schedule. Not that Epic has to change their class schedule for me, but some things could be improved. My preferred time to take class during the work week is at 6 and every night they offered only hot yoga at that time. I deplore hot yoga. I always overstretch and get hurt. So I ended up leaving work early to get to a 5:30 class, or staying late and going to a 7:15 class. On the weekends, they don't offer enough classes. They offer three a day and one class on Saturday was cancelled a lot and one class on Sunday is the community class so you can not use your month pass to go (though I am very pleased they offer it). The classes on the weekend were completely packed. Actually a lot of the classes during the week were too. Seems like they had to many groupon-type offers available at once. This studio has a lot going for it though and I will certainly return for classes, just not on a regular basis. read more

This studio has so much going for it: -Great location across from the Dupont Metro -Showers and bathrooms stocked with towels & toiletries -Free mat usage -Beautiful light-filled studios with exposed brick walls, some heated, others room temp -A variety of classes (vinyasa, hot yoga, barre, yogalates, rooftop, etc.) -Free Sunday community class with Rob -Sign up for classes online so that you don't risk coming to a class that's full (a benefit over corepower in my book) -Classes are usually not to packed that I'm on top of the yogis next to me read more

I love Epic!! Finally broke down and bought a membership (which is a lot for a commitment-phobe like me). They have a really great lineup of yoga instructors. they all have very individual styles though (which i like) but definitely check out a few to find out who's best for what you need. Emma, the owner, is a wonderful, warm vibrant person and she brings that energy to each and every class I've taken with her. I wish i could start every day with one of her classes, but sadly my schedule doesn't ever seem to line up with her teaching schedule. Rob is very straightforward, and he's particularly good for beginners and people with injuries. I've learned more about how to do a chaturanga correctly from him than any other instructor. He also has a very level-headed approach, so if you really more focused on movement and less on the mindfulness stuff, he's a great match for you. He also has a fun 80s playlist/pop playlist (i was amused when i played "I am a warrior" during his dancing warrior sequence). Alex is a little more focused on the mind-body connection. I've been taking her soulful yoga class on Saturdays, and i really like how she sets up her flows. She also provides really great tips for more difficult poses and help you work toward goals. Jess is also fantastic!!! very straightforward, flows that make a lot of sense, and she's just so sweet and soothing. i haven't had a chance to take any of the other instructors. Epic also provides free towels and mats mats (they are not in the the best shape, but hey they are free! i bring my own) and have showers etc. the water never gets super hot but hey it gets the job done and i get my yoga on before work. Overall, if you are looking for a super pristine, chi-chi type studio, Epic is probably not the place for you. But if you want to practice in a more relaxed, completely unpretentious and welcoming environment with skilled instructors, definitely check it out. read more

By far, the best yoga studio I've ever been to. The teachers are so friendly and inviting; they made me feel super comfortable when I first started my journey as a yogi. They offer a variety of classes which is nice to balance more intense, advanced classes, with more relaxing ones. They also have classes at a variety of times which has been helpful to accommodate my crazy schedule. Lastly, the space at Epic is so beautiful! With three large studios. read more

DO NOT GO HERE Epic Yoga charged me for $103.88 for a membership even though I cancelled and refused to refund me. I have followed up multiple times and they said they are unable, even though I am no longer taking their classes. Completely unprofessional and racist. read more

They have that promotion which is the first month trial is cheaper than regular, but for some reasons I didn't like the first month trial and left the place. I signed only for one month . But they charged next month payment from my credit card without any reminders. I'm not sure that they have a professional receptionist, everyday different person at the front desk and that lady who helped me for signups haven't ask me that She's going to put my card on auto payment. I'm not able to bring my mat every morning and use their mats sometimes, mats are smells so bad, never cleaned. Also they never send you an email or message about that the classes are canceled or closing because of around holidays else. read more

I love the studios, the teachers and the beautiful vibes!!Emma classes are alway great! She takes time to make sure you're comfortable which is great for beginners! Can't wait for the next class! read more

I came to this yoga studio located right off of the Dupont South metro to attend April's Sweat n Samadhi ISHTA Yoga class. This is a beautiful space, and the class and the instructor were awesome !! Sweat n Samadhi is less intense than the Bikram yoga classes than I ordinarily go to. The studio is heated to only 85 degrees, so I didn't come out with that same detox feeling I get after a Bikram class. That said-- the class is still challenging and great for muscle strengthening exercises. You will do the expected yoga poses and stretches. While the yoga portion was great, I loved the meditation component of April's class! The first 20 minutes were focused on breathing exercises and maintaining stillness. I recommend this class to anyone looking for a less intense yoga class with a focus on mindfulness and relaxation. At the end the instructor goes around and waves essential oils around, which was really nice. Also, the studio space is beautiful. With its exposed brick walls and skylights that flood each room with tons of natural light, its not surprising that Epic Yoga also rents itself out as an event space. I'm a fan. read more

I did NOT like this studio. I recently attended my first and only class here, and I will not be back despite its proximity to my home. When I arrived, the front desk attendant had wandered off, so the girls at the juice stand nearby tracked her down. I explained that it was my first class, so she gave me a waiver to fill out. I handed it back in and she just took it from me and looked away. I had to say "I'm sorry, this is my first time here. Where is the studio?" So she sort-of mumbled and pointed me in the right direction. No "Great! My name is Jane, we are so happy to have you here, let me show you around." Just a "oh, ok." The studio itself was relatively pretty, but there was an incredibly loud yoga teacher training session taking place in the adjacent studio so not the greatest overall vibe. The instructor, Megna, came in and didn't introduce herself to new students (or any students), didn't ask about injuries, didn't ask if anyone had attended a barre class before. The class filled up enough to be uncomfortable, too, so it's unlikely that she would have been paying attention to form or suggested modifications, etc., even if she had asked (as someone with a previous back injury, this bothers me greatly). She didn't tell you "get a set of weights and a mat." If you're an instructor, that's part of your job, especially when there are lots of new faces in the room and the front of house people don't give you any direction. The class? It sucked. Megna had a habit of telling you to do something, and then barking "if you haven't done at least three classes with me you should NOT be doing this advanced move!" Um, announce that BEFORE you instruct people to do something. It's fine to make adjustments for more advanced students, but not prefacing it with "if that isn't enough of a challenge for you and you're more advanced student, you can add on to this pose by doing X." It's equivalent to telling a class full of yoga students "go into your headstand practice" when half the students are new to the studio (also something I've seen; also a pet peeve of mine). Also, I've done plenty of barre classes (I'd guess in the neighborhood of 75), so to also say "if you haven't done three with me" is arbitrary and stupid. They provide the props. The mats were the smelliest I have ever encountered in a studio. It made me feel like I was teetering on the edge of throwing up every time I caught a whiff. There are lots of awesome places to do barre in this town. Epic Yoga is NOT one of them. read more

Most beautiful studio I've ever seen! Also fantastic community. You really become a part of the family when you join Epic Yoga. There's a great variety of classes and teachers so you have plenty of options to keep it interesting. I don't think I could recommend Epic enough. Go check them out! read more

Perspectives of a visitor.... I took two classes at Epic Yoga when staying nearby for a couple of meetings. (I try to catch local yoga classes when I travel quite a bit.) The location was convenient for me and seemed close to a lot of DC stuff. The space is neat - an older building with high ceilings, exposed brick walls, nice light, pretty architectural features, and a bit eclectically laid out. The course list looked fairly diverse (for a yoga studio) and interesting. That said, my experience was only so-so. When I first arrived, there was no one at the front desk to help me, so I kind of had to figure out where I was going, find my own waiver, and pay after class (when I needed to get going). The studio was a bit on the dirty side, not filthy, but not clean, which bothers me in restaurants and yoga studios. The mats to borrow were convenient, but poor quality and kind of stinky (and I prefer renting a mat that is cleaned by the studio and used infrequently when I borrow a mat). I took an evening "hot yoga" class - it wasn't a bad class, but it wasn't hot yoga (or at least not anything like the approximately 150 hot yoga classes I've taken in a half-dozen studios). It was toasty, but there was almost no focus on breathing, it didn't follow (even loosely) any style of practice, and the flow of the class was choppy. But it was a fun group of yogis! And I like the instructor on a personal level, although I wouldn't want to take another class from her. The morning "sunrise" class, on the other hand, was great and I thought the instructor was a nice person and a teacher I would quickly take a class from again. The problem with that class was the crowd - they were just not pleasant to practice with. I felt not like a welcome guest but an annoying intruder. Perhaps I was there on a bad morning or I was overly sensitive. Of course, one of my current yoga goals is to be less distracted by other practitioners, so perhaps it was just a lesson for me! read more

I want to preface this review with a heads-up about the locker rooms: they are bare-bones and unsecured! People can easily walk into the opposite gender's room without the front desk staff noticing, and many of the lockers don't fully close/lock. Since I came to the studio right after work, I wasn't too at ease with leaving my wallet, laptop, work clothes, etc. in this space. This is something they need to improve ASAP if they want to continue attracting young professionals to their weekday evning classes. With that important detail aside, I think this studio has a lot of potential. It's in a great location, mats are complimentary (not the norm!) has fair prices (only a few dollars more expensive than other studios), and the staff/instructors are passionate about what they do. I came for a hot yoga class with a few coworkers, and really enjoyed my experience! This was my first hot yoga experience, and I was told by an experienced yogi that this was not typical - it was only 90 degrees and was more Vinyasa/flow yoga, as opposed to the ~100 degrees for Bikram. I am looking forward to returning and bumping up my rating once the locker rooms are revamped! read more

I was introduced to Epic Yoga through the Lululemon's free yoga Sundays. I have practiced yoga for the past 8 or so years and currently practice yoga 3-5 days a week. I was drawn to Epic Yoga because of their Barre class (a combination of ballet, yoga and pilates). I have been looking for a ballet dance/yoga type fusion class in DC for some time. I am happy to say that I can stop looking! (Please note this is the only class I have tried). Why I think you will love this studio: -Great location -Amazing amazing space -The atmosphere is a cross between a yoga studio and a spa -Showers available (no extra cost) -Mats available (no extra cost) The only con is that there is a bar below the studio (why I rated this studio four and not five stars), so in the beginning of class when it is silent I could see how one would be easily distracted (of course this depends on what time the class is and I'm sure the downstairs bar doesn't blast music at 630am). However, Emma, the instructor of Thursday night's Barre class, has a very soothing voice and once she played music for the class I didn't even notice the bar music. If the bar music bothers you I think the space and atmosphere of the studio will make up for it. The sky lights and large windows allow for optimal natural light. The space reflects what I imagine many people want to get out of their practice-- relaxed, soothing, open and calm. These elements are what make it easy to wash away any residual noise you may hear. The Barre class was a great work out. If you are looking for something different that will help your posture, open your hips and tone up then I suggest this class. The other yogis in the class seemed to have varying experience, so I think this class would be good for anyone from beginners to advanced (as always make sure to pay attention to your body). The schedule online says it runs about 1 hour 15 minutes but when I attended the class it ran closer to an hour. I am fortunate enough to be able to practice yoga at my work's gym four days a week, so to pay for additional classes at a yoga studio is saying a lot. I look forward to being a regular at Epic Yoga. read more

I tried out Epic Yoga last night per my co-worker's recommendation. I wasn't sure what to expect because after trying out a number of studios in the area it's clear that each has a very unique style. Epic Yoga was no different! I came for the 6pm Hot Yoga class with Sihnuu Hetep. It was a great class, and challenging without making me feel like I was struggling too hard. I enjoyed the core work we did and the practice really flowed well. I would highly recommend this class, but not for a first-timer. Some big plusses about this studio: + SHOWERS!!!! This is a first for the studios I've visited in the city - finally I can consider doing yoga before work (I won't actually do it, but it's nice to have the option). + Free Mat use. This is great bc I don't like having to lug my mat around + $20 unlimited week + $50 (one-time) unlimited month! I've been to other studios that offer one or the other, but not both! + lots of different types of classes! I'm going to try a yoga + Pilates fusion class tonight. All in all, great experience. Definitely a top contender when I consider which studio to become a member at. read more

Yay! Yoga! I went to a class here on a very rainy Wednesday evening. It had a guest teacher from LA that I follow on Instagram. The class did not start on time due to another class going over, but it was a great class. The studio is above a restaurant and like most of the businesses in the area, seems very home-y. Which can be good and bad. There were a few buckets due to leaking from the roof and I did see one dead cockroach (eek!). They do have mats to borrow and lockers which are both kind of old and worn. There is a place to shower as well. One highlight is the exposed brick in the studio, it's beautiful. The main highlight is a juice bar! Prepared juices from Jrink! These juices look amazing! I didn't get a chance to try, as they were closed when my class ended. I don't think I'll be back, because I feel that this studio needs a bit of cleaning up. The rooms and the old DC architecture are beautiful, but I don't feel completely comfortable working out in an unclean studio. I couldn't invert out of fear a cockroach would crawl in my ear. If they clean it up a bit, like the pictures on the yelp site (it does not look like that, fyi), I may give it another try. read more

Was in town for just the weekend... girls trip. We thought a great yoga class would get us off to a great start on Saturday morning. And lucky us!! We stumbled into an AWESOME class. We took Shannon's Root to Rise and it was wonderful! Everyone was super welcoming, the studio was beautiful, and the flow was perfect. Absolutely recommend. Wish I could go back every Saturday... read more

Epic Yoga is a hop, skip and a jump from my office - it gets stars just for being in a super convenient location with a super convenient lunch time yoga class. That lunch time yoga class is a nice stretch class and does not have you breaking out in a full sweat - good if you don't have time to take a shower in the ones that they have on site! Other amenities that are to die for include lockers with keys already in them, a relaxation room and convenient juice bar, Jrink (I have yet to try this place). Epic Yoga also has some great first timer deals including $50 for a full month of unlimited classes! I hear they used to have $20 for a week but have since gotten rid of it - sad :( My favorite class so far is Emma Beal's Center Barre Yoga - woof! Talk about a work out - you definitely need a shower and a nap after this one. The music is fun and the workout is tough - definitely try it if you're in a yoga rut. Up next for me is a Yoga Sculpt and the Epiclates - stay tuned! read more

Just did the math and I'm like wow, I've been going to Epic Yoga for 4 years! However, I just became a member in the summer of '16. It feels like home, the instructors make an effort to know your name and I can sit and have a cup of tea in the meditation room if I am early to class. At first my reason for going to Epic Yoga was location (10min walk from work) and class variety; by variety I don't mean just intensity but also class style such as barre and aerobic yoga (they once offered a tai chi yoga class - so cool!). Now I go to Epic Yoga because the experience of doing yoga PLUS genuine yoga instructors and the studio management create for me a perfect exercise experience. Everyone is welcome no matter your skill level, workout goals, gender, race, sexual orientation, this place is so diverse and welcoming! Also, why wouldn't you want to support a local AND female owned small business???? Just sayin'! read more

I like this place okay. It has a LOT going for it -- beautiful space, considerate extra little perks (like the lost-and-found/communal shower supplies, free yoga mats, hot tea, etc.) and a wide variety of classes. It is a little inconvenient for me to get to, being neither near my work nor my home, and a little above my price range... but I didn't dock stars for either of those. The vibe was just a little yuppie for me. It felt like the classes were filled with type-A gotta-get-skinny types, whereas I like my yoga to have a little more zen and with a little more breathing. I don't think getting toned and being mindful of your practice are mututally exclusive. So that is where I would score it a little lower. HOWEVER, completely contrary to what I just stated, I absolutely LOVED Emma Saal's barre class. I had never taken a barre class before, but this was fun and energetic, and required me to practice my balance and coordination in ways I don't often get to! I think I appreciated it more because it was a fitness class, not a fitness class pretending to be a yoga class. Maybe I'm being too picky/too much of a snob. Anyway, four stars for you, Epic Yoga. read more

Alex Hall's workshop - Soul Vibe + Reiki - is absolutely soul penetrating. I left feeling rejuvenated and believing in the power of Reiki. Since participating in this workshop and taking Alex's soul vibe yoga class I have become a firm believer in the benefits of Reiki on your body, mind, and spirit. I HIGHLY recommend this workshop for anyone who feels that they need a reset or time to reflect. I have since been to see Alex for private Reiki sessions and can attest to the impact it has had on my mindset. Alex also spent time with each participant individually and stayed after class to chat about your experience and recommend further resources based on individual need. read more

I've waited a while to review this place, and with good reason. Now, I feel I can give it a solid three stars. I originally came here for a yoga party hosted by the owner Emma. I was oh so excited to try this place out. I arrived early, and it was a disorganized experience to begin with. Which I think really shouldn't have gone done like that, since this was the owner's event. I understand this was the first scoutmob event like this, so not to let checking in deter me from having a good time I let it go. Emma announces we can go change, yet doesn't give any sort of indication where the dressing room is located. The studio is comprised of three different rooms (ballet room for barre yoga, hot room, and regular yoga room), multiple lounge areas, and locker rooms with showers. So, it would be helpful for newcomers to either get a tour, or be given some general idea where things are located. OK, now we are changed, we've found which room we will be in, and we are all set up and ready to get bendy! While the studio is beautiful with exposed brick, and windows overlooking Connecticut avenue (I think...just moved here), the room was very narrow. I happened to be right next to a fireplace, which took up even more room. With thirty people in class, its hard to hear the instructor up front when you re all the way in the back. Furthermore, the actual hip hop yoga class left much to be desired. I felt Emma was very unprepared, and not very good at just going with the flow. She kept stopping, and would be like, um let's do this next I guess. It became quite annoying, as again she's the owner, and a very accomplished yogi. So, yes she may have been nervous, but that's no excuse for not preparing a general flow for an event. To top it off, I didn't like hearing the n word in the music selection. On one hand you could argue its a part of African-American's culture, but as an African-American, I'm here to tell you such ignorance is only a part of our culture if we allow it to be. So, that killed the experience for me, and I had no desire to go back and use my free class pass. Fast forward three or four months later, and I now work in the area. I want to start going to yoga after work, and decided to give Epic another go, albeit with a different instructor. I liked that I had plenty of space to change, and unwind for a bit in one of their relaxing lounge areas before class. The studio was as narrow as I remembered it, but thankfully there were only 7 people in class. I took a yoga for beginners class, even though I've been practicing for 7 years come this May. I wanted a relaxing slow class, and it's always good to go back to the basics every now and again. Ariele was an excellent instructor. She's a physical therapist so she really focused on alignment. She was really good at demonstrating how to do the poses, and what they should look like, as well as gave manual adjustments. I still learned something even after being seven years into my practice! To sum it up, I give this place a solid three stars, as previously noted. It's full of beautiful exposed brick, and spacious lounges and locker rooms, but the actual studio feels narrow and cramped, and I did not get a real sense of community here. Overall, it was ok, but nothing special. I'm not going to join a yoga studio for the pretty bricks anytime soon. read more

I've gone to probably a dozen or so Epic classes with a deal they were offering which was great. It's really nice to be able to try out a studio at a reduced price. The space is beautiful. There's a reception/lounge area and another lounge area too. There are 3 different studios. I LOVE that they offer free yoga mats. I wish more studios would do this. Is it nice to practice with my own mat? Yes, but it isn't always the most convenient to always have to carry a mat to work. They have a decent amount of different classes, but not as many classes as some other studio. There is hot yoga, regular yoga, barre etc. I just wish they would have more regular yoga. It's summer and it's a bazillion degrees outside. If I want to be hot I really don't need to do yoga I just have to go outside! Also, I wish they would vary when classes are offered. Everyday is hot yoga at 6pm. I just wish they would change it up and sometimes offer barre or regular yoga or sculpt at this time. Overall though I'm a huge fan and since it's close to work will continue coming. read more

I was looking for a new yoga studio in Dupont, and tried Epic Yoga out. I bought the "FIRSTTIMER" promo pass which offers unlimited yoga for $50 in your first month. So far, I have tried the Hot Yoga and Lunch Power Hour classes. Both classes were excellent. I had been going to Tranquil Space and District Yoga before I came here. I find that Epic has a much more athletic vibe to its classes. District Yoga is more of a beginners spot with cheap classes, Tranquil Space is more advanced but also more spiritual and pricey. Epic assumes some basic knowledge and some of the flows are pretty fast paced. I walked away from both classes feeling like I got a good work out, rather than just a nice soothing stretch. Other pros: - if you go to the Sunday evening class, you might be able to walk away with some of the week's left over "JRINK" juices from the attached juice bar. I got the Spinach/Kale combo which was really tasty and slightly addicting. -The studio also offers complimentary mats and has a simple locker room/shower space if you need to quickly head in or out of a class. -Online reservations system makes it really easy to schedule your classes ahead of time. I am definitely hooked, and I will be interested to try out some of the other yoga and barre classes. read more

New favorite studio in DC. Pros: -Showers on site. -Lockers (complimentary), Towels (complimentary), Yoga mats( complimentary)...basically, Epic doesn't pinch pennies and charge you for every service. Good stuff. -3 different rooms for practice. -Barre, heated and nonheated yoga. All good. -People that work here are kind, helpful, and also engaging. -LOTS of space to practice. Never too crowded. Cons: -Water is $4. Interesting pricing strategy. -From my experience, there's not much of a focus on adjustments (depends on teacher, though). If you want to sweat, go to Marshall's 6PM class for heated vinyasa flow. Emma's energy is awesome, and her classes are a must. read more

Had my first ever yoga experience at the Epic yoga. The studio is very nice, ladies at the reception are very very friendly. I was a tad late , room is rather small, so my spot was by the door and wasn't particularly warm. I'm sure this can be fixed by tacking the door with a towel or a mat. The instructor is very lovely and tries to engage all participants but she doesn't use a microphone and the back spots are fairly far, it was quite difficult to hear anything but I could follow people in front of me. Overall, I will be back when I need a workout that is a tad easier than hotspot's bikram. Generally speaking, epic yoga is a cleaner and fancier place but the yoga session didn't challenge me to the extend it did at hotspot. read more

I dropped by Epic Yoga last week since it's near work, and I'm super glad I did. I've been doing yoga at Yoga District for a while - and that's still a great option - but I wanted to try a studio that had showers and was possibly a little less crowded. I met Emma and she showed me around the entire studio! It's beautiful, with exposed brick walls, original fireplaces, showers and a locker room, and a relaxation room. It's very modern and feels really friendly, and there's lots of space in all of the three studios. Since then I've taken four classes on the new customer $20/7 days unlimited special, and I'll definitely be buying a monthly membership after this. The classes are structured, instructors pay attention to alignment, and the barre yoga class (while intense!) is an awesome workout and a little bit different than your classic yoga class. They also offer beginner and hot yoga beginner classes, which is really rare in DC; the beginner instructor (Arielle) is great at finding ways to explain proper alignments, and dealt with our very mixed level class really smoothly. Since I'm newer to yoga, it's been really nice to find a studio where the instructors have time to tell me what I can improve on, and everyone I've had a class with (Emma, Sonja, and Arielle) has been great about guiding me to a stronger practice without making me feel embarrassed. Since I'm totally the person in a yoga class who ends up falling over the entire time, that's really valuable! If you're looking for someplace new to do yoga (or start yoga!) in DC, I don't think you'll regret giving Epic Yoga a shot, and their intro specials are really great if you're on a budget. My favorite amenity is being able to shower after class, which means I can take a class on Saturday before going out for dinner, or at lunch during the workday - it makes it a lot easier to fit in a class! read more

The studio itself is beautiful - windows, exposed brick, hardwood floors. Prices are comparable, the introductory month is impossible to beat. Free showers, lockers, mats and towels. The instructors are incredible. Emma has the best energy, Ryan will give you a workout and leave you sore. Barre is really changing my body for the better. Classes are never too crowded and there is a real sense of community and people here. I would come back just for the energy of the place, and then pile the great classes, instructors and amenities and I won't go anywhere else. read more

Let me start by saying that I LOVE Epic Yoga! I wish it wasn't so pricey and that they could have more deals such as the 1 month unlimited deal for those who have already used theirs up (hint hint!). This studio is absolutely fantastic! My favorite classes are definitely the Hot Yoga and Barre. I do wish they had better times and variety for some of their popular classes because trying to make earlier classes are hard for some who don't work as close. I haven't been back to Epic in quite some time, but I know that I will be back soon. read more

My favorite yoga studio in DC. Best for hot yoga classes (not bikram). All teachers are really nice and encourage you to adjust your practice based on your experience level. read more

So far I'm in love! I've been doing yoga on my own and have been nervous to get back into the yoga scene but have been wanting the discipline. I recently went to Katerina's Detox and it was great! I was having a crappy day in a daze from drinking the night before and my body was sore from working out the morning before. Katerina was supper sweet and gentle and accommodating to all levels. And my body...dripping in sweat from the heated room and vinyasa. They greeted me with a tour and I love the facilities. Supper clean and it just felt comfortable like you could come on and out all day. Since its DC yoga week I have 2 more scheduled classes and I look forward to meeting other instructors! read more
