Yoga is much more than exercise. Yoga is community, it is growth, and there are facets of spirituality that take us deeper into our own being. One thing that I've noticed here in DC is the lack of outlet for deeper connection. This group is open to everyone from the experienced yogi to those just getting started. We …
