Circle Yoga

Welcoming community of yogis practicing at Circle Yoga in Washington DC. It's easy (and fun) to Be here in the CYC community.

We offer private sessions, classes, and workshops for body, mind and spirit -- many styles of yoga, therapeutics, kids, Pilates, mindfulness, meditation, massage, and more in three sunny studios just south of Chevy Chase Circle. If you enjoy individual attention and connection with your yoga or Pilates teacher, Circle Yoga Co-op classes are smaller and more individualized than is typical at a gym or larger studio. At CYC you will always get lots of personal care from studio staff and teachers.

Another amazing yoga article from Ebony Magazine! In January of 2004, Kimberly David highlighted the practice of hatha yoga and yogi Aida Naba. Nana opened her own studio in Chicago “Alchemy Yoga and Wellness Studio” to share the numerous benefits of yoga with the African-American community in the area. Benefits detailed in the article include helping with, “high blood pressure, stabilizes the heart rate, increases lung capacity and strengthens the immune system.”

Other black yogis are highlights in the spread including author of “Soul Yoga: The Yoga Book for Women of Color”, Maya Breuer, actress Tanya Wright, and Chicago native Becky Love, who was still teaching yoga classes at 90 years old when the article was published!

Check back in next Friday for another highlight for !

In September 1925, Ebony Magazine published an article by Stanley Williford titled, “Yoga: Something for Everyone.” The article explored the growing interest in practicing yoga in the Black community in America. From football players to political activists, many individuals were endorsing not just the asana, but yogic teachings and philosophy as well. In the article, activist Angela Davis is quoted saying, “I have never used yoga as an end in itself but merely as a means of preparing myself for a more effective struggle.”

Check back in every Friday this month to learn more about how yoga and Black History connect.

Today we take time to honor Dr. King’s enduring legacy in the fight for justice for all Americans. Through his speeches, protests, and more, Dr. King exemplified the yogic principle of nonviolence. While the fight for justice continues, we hope that too you can carry the practice of Ahimsa with you through your daily life, bringing a bit of his spirit wherever you may go.

Thank you Dr. King for your immeasurable sacrifices, as we continue to work towards equity and justice for all.

New Moon Circle
Sunday, January 18 | 6:00-7:30 PM ET

You’re invited to take an intentional pause and gather in community to be present with your life.

We gather at this time to harness the intention setting energy of the new moon and gain greater clarity about the path ahead.

We’ll begin our circle with an oracle card pull and reflection, followed by a guided meditation and sound bath. You will be supported by the structure of the circle to connect with your own inner wisdom, and we’ll close our circle by sharing insights and an intention setting ritual to carry us forward into the next moon cycle.

Please bring your journal and writing and/or art supplies.

Circle Yoga’s Racial Equity Team is thrilled to host author Brit Barron for our next meeting of the Equity Book Club. We’ll discuss Brit’s book, *Do You Still Talk to Grandma? When the Problematic People in Our Lives Are the Ones We Love.* The book is a guide for those of us who struggle to connect with family members or friends who have different beliefs. It offers guidance for having difficult conversations and setting boundaries, and ways to strive for justice without causing new harm or giving up on people.
