I started attending here this year and I finally feel like I've found my home. After experimenting around the city with various forms of meditation, it was this place that I really seem to connect to. They offer so many beginner classes that are free to all such as the Thursday evening meditation and the Wednesday Heart of Recovery. If you have something donate, you may, and if you become a member there appears to be so much available at such a low cost because access to healing should not break the bank. I am so grateful for this beautiful center.

The way of meditation is laid out clearly, step by step, with lots and lots of program support for practice and education. Every one is welcome - if you're looking for a place to come sit, come to one of the evening sits. If you want to study, sign up for class. If you're looking for a place to make an urban retreat over a weekend, this is the place. Want to introduce your kids to mindfulness? Come join the family group.

What a peaceful place to come before or after work. This place speaks women empowerment to me…read more There is a lot of zen and positive vibes in the room. You can have tea, water, or san pellegrino before diving into a stress relief meditation, emotion based training, or breathing session. Caitlin, Kirsten, and Emily are all really kind and wonderful teachers. They explain different stones with healing properties and really help you destress in the 30 minute or 1 hour session. You can come wearing your work clothes or anything you find comfortable and either lie down or sit up in a position that makes you feel comfortable during meditation and that's what I appreciate about Glow Club. I ended up purchasing the 10 credit pack after a free session and have had a solid experience. I look forward to trying some yoga in the fall when the class is available. The evening glow is probably my favorite class at the moment. The breathing class was intense for me and I would like to try it again to really get into it. I found myself forgetting to go with the rhythm during active breathing and almost falling asleep. I live and work in Silver Spring so I can only attend evening classes but these classes are great as a "cool down" post work out as well. They also help me focus on the present so hopefully they can have a similar affect on you.

It's A Vibe! I came…read morehere during the Yelp Summer of Self Care Event. Immediately the signs out near the sidewalk drew me in. As I walked up the stairs & entered the facility, I was welcomed by the aroma of what I believe to be Palo Santo. The place was gorgeous, with an amazing organic crystal selection, all fairly priced. As we entered the meditation room, lit red, there were multiple options for mediation seating. The soft yoga "blocks" offered were my fave, as it takes pressure off my spine. My instructor was Kirsten, she was very polite and had a great energy. Her guided mediation was focused & her voice was very calm & encouraging. I could've sat there for hours! After the session ended I talked to the owner who was very polite & enthusiastic to explain the services offered. I was excited to see that she offers quick pre-workday sessions. I definitely recommend this place!

This meditation really caught me eyes and the content really intrigued me. So I decided to give it try, I was just amazed to find out after just few weeks into it, it really relieve much of stress and worries I carried around, nothing I have tried was as effective as this meditation, I would recommend this to anyone. GO ahead just try it you have nothing to lose. At least go to their free online events, you really have nothing to lose.

I had no idea what Akashic Records was (truth be told, I only read the first half of the Finding Your Calling headline) but now that I know, I'm definitely spreading the word! Alice acted as a host and introduced us to the medium who would be guiding us through our Akashic Record journey. We had a small group of strangers that ended laughing, crying, and exchanging numbers at the end of the night. The questions we asked were based on things we had submitted as a whole but we were also able to received personalized messages as well. One of the messages I received was so clear that it sent me on a trip literally a few weeks before quarantine began and life as we know it has changed. I'm thankful to Alice for opening my eyes to the mystical and making it really easy to understand. During COVID times she does virtual sound bath meditation classes that will relax you and help you get the best sleep of your life. She also has a very reasonable monthly membership through Patreon which gives you access to workbooks, classes, and other special items to help you get to know yourself a bit better. I highly recommend checking her out!

I highly recommend Moksha Living. I've worked with multiple providers there in various capacities…read moreand they all have been incredibly wonderful, accommodating, and - best of all - helpful in my mental health and growth journey. The search for a good therapist who you jive with, takes insurance, and is also accepting new clients can be really demoralizing. It definitely was for me. I felt so fortunate when I found Huma Sikandar Fatakia, and I can't say enough good things about her. She is so understanding and has an almost uncanny ability to remember details I haven't spoken about in a while, and connect the dots to help me recognize patterns and opportunities in my life. She has also helped me incorporate some mindful practices in my life when things feel heavy... which I never thought I'd be able to do. When Huma went on maternity leave, there was a seamless transition to Alyssa McCall for that duration. I again felt really fortunate that they didn't leave me hanging and matched me with another provider. Alyssa was also great! It is hard switching from one provider to another, but Alyssa offered new perspective and some different tools that I've held onto since going back to Huma. Finally, Michell Stanley was able to accommodate my partner and me very quickly for sessions, and that has been a huge help. She is very good at what she does and very understanding. As the owner of the business, she's also easy to work with for any administrative needs. I feel so extremely lucky to have found Moksha Living when I did, before the pandemic, and to be able to continue my work with them in a safe way. During COVID-19, all sessions are remote via a secure platform.

I cannot recommend Michell and Moksha Living enough. My work with Michell was truly life-changing…read more Michell's approach is a unique combination of coaching and therapy, which helped me feel heard and understood, while also holding me accountable and giving me tools to work through a particularly challenging life event. Michell demonstrated the perfect amount of care and accountability, and balanced intellectual and emotional introspection. I truly feel like a better person after my work with her. I've tried a not-insignificant number of therapists in my life and Michell is above and beyond the best therapist I have ever worked with.

I dropped into an afternoon class while I was visiting DC, and it was such a great experience…read more The class was challenging enough to get a good workout in but still felt like the perfect midday reset. The instructor was incredibly detailed with her cues and offered modifications and progressions throughout, which made it easy to follow no matter your experience level. One thing I really appreciated as someone traveling was that they provide everything you need. They have high-quality Manduka mats along with all the props, so I didn't have to worry about bringing my own mat on vacation and yes it was free! The studio itself is spacious, clean, and has two bathrooms (one by the front desk and another near the practice room), which was a nice touch. Another bonus is the location. The neighborhood is super walkable with lots of great lunch spots nearby, making it easy to grab a bite and explore after class. Would definitely come back the next time I'm in DC!

If it wasn't for the welcoming atmosphere and convenient location of Woodley Park Yoga, I don't know if I would've kept up my practice. As a newbie to yoga, I take the beginner class on Saturdays at 11am and the guided quarter primary class on Tuesdays at 7pm, both taught by Elsie. She has a calming voice, goes over the poses for new folks, and encourages you through the more difficult poses. The beginner class is easier if you've at least tried yoga at another studio or at home with YouTube videos. Be prepared to sweat a little! The studio is sizeable and allows 13-15 people max depending on the class. You can store your yoga mat in the back room, and there are wipes for your mat. I don't usually see blocks or towels readily available, but ask if you need them. The studio is on the third floor of a four-story building in Woodley Park, above Uni Sushi (no elevator). There's a small bathroom in the back of the studio. If I can think of only one downside, it's not being able to pay for classes online in advance, even though you can reserve your spot online. You need to go to the studio and purchase classes directly with the teacher, which takes time before/after class if you're waiting for others to pay too. Better to just buy a pack of 5, 10, or 20 classes if you plan to come back regularly. Checking in relies a bit on the honor system: you write your name on a card and the number of classes, then cross each number off when you show up to class. Whether your a seasoned yogi or a newbie like me, I highly recommend dropping in Woodley Park Yoga for a class!
