Our Story
A Massage & Yoga healing community for the whole you. The Metta Center is open 7 days a week, as late as 8pm, and offers therapeutic massage, yoga, personal training and life coaching services. We truly customize your massage experience at the Metta Center by gathering a thorough health history, having an in depth conversation regarding your goals and provide a massage that is just for you. The Metta Center focuses on low-stress yoga with slow, mindful movement to encourage balance and strength. If you are looking for hot yoga or power yoga, this is not the studio for you. If you are looking for intimate classes with a slower pace, focusing on breath, alignment and ease, then come on in to check us out! NOTE about our hours: The hours listed reflect the hours that we have an office coordinator on staff to answer the phone. Services begin and end before the hours reflected.
The Metta Center began in 2009 to serve as a massage center for therapeutic massage geared towards treating your unique symptoms and challenges. The therapist spends the time to listen, inquire a discuss your needs and then customize a treatment plan to support your healing. In 2012, the Metta Center co-created the Wellness Center, a shared cooperative space for yoga, pilates, acupuncture and a likeminded massage therapy practice. In October 2018, the Metta Center expanded into a sister center of the Wellness Center at 8998 Fern Park Drive, Burke, VA 22015. View our featured videos to see the announcement of the move.
The name, the Metta Center, comes from "Metta" a concept that expresses a compassionate state of mind and is usually translated as "loving kindness." Cultivation of metta is an essential motivator and important guide in technique that encourages the creation of an environment that is open to healing and effective in reducing stress. Although results are a major goal at the Metta Center, the intention of treating each client and student with kindness and acceptance is first and foremost. Metta is another option, another way to respond, to people, situations, events, oneself. It is something practical to develop and mobilize for the war within one’s mind. Too often our minds are flooded by impatience, frustration, and judgment, or even worse, sadness, anger, ill will, hatred, rage. Metta is often the only protection against these roots of suffering, and it is so much more: A haven of hope, good medicine, a reminder to be lovingly mindful, and a blessing.
At the Metta Center, we strive to encourage metta within ourselves and towards each other in our space of healing.
