Great new place. Down Dog has an open, unintimidating style. The classes Ive taken -- yoga for athletes, heated flow, campus flow -- strike at beginner/intermediate with options to make it more advanced. The focus on the physicality lets you largely guide your own thought experience. Most of the teachers are engaging and responsive. The rooms are a good size and not crowded. Super clean gym-quality shower space is helpful, in particular after hot yoga (at 85 degrees). I bring my own mat, but the free ones to borrow seem pretty good. Comparing it to places I know in DC and New York, Down Dog is a bit less advanced, but looks like itll get there. The classes definitely strike at the right price point. That the space is windowless threw me a bit at first, but its designed in a way that makes it feel like a sanctuary. Down Dog is very different from Sangha Yoga down the street, which has windows and distracting noise, plus the staff at Sangha had way too much attitude. My only quibble at Down Dog is that sound bounces a bit in the rooms.

So glad I decided to try out this company on a whim! I was admittedly intimidated by the highly professional yoga center but my expectations were far surpassed. Instructors are encouraging and accepting. If a pose is beyond your capability, no one will look down upon you or judge you whatsoever - teachers and fellow students alike. The facility is impeccably clean and as a self-proclaimed germaphobe, I was deeply impressed by the cleanliness throughout the studio. Sanitizing spray is provided in each studio and the locker rooms are clean, pleasant smelling, etc. I truly experienced no distractions from my original purpose in entering the studio -- my practice. The $20 option for 2 weeks to first time visitors is a complete steal. I will definitely return after my 2 weeks is over. Highly recommend. If youre considering trying Down Dog, do it. You will not regret it!

I am a beginner and everyone was super nice and helpful. I took a free class and it convinced me to come back for more. Highly recommend for people interested in started yoga and people who have done it in the past.
