Our Mission

Bhakti Yoga DC serves to empower individuals with conscious lifestyle practices that transform mind, body and heart. We provide our students an empowering spiritual experience and holistic health care/coaching through dynamic healing yoga, mantra, meditation, kirtan and philosophy delivered within an authentic spiritual community that serves to build deep and loving relationships.

Our Wider Commitment

Bhakti Yoga DC is committed to creating a space rooted in dignity, inclusion, and reverence—for our students, our neighbors, and the sacred lineages of yoga itself.

Our building once served as a homeless women’s shelter, and we continue that legacy of service by working closely with individuals experiencing housing insecurity in our local community.

We also recognize that we teach and gather on the ancestral lands of the Nacotchtank (Anacostan) and Piscataway peoples, and that this city is shaped by histories of displacement and forced labor. Rather than offering a decontextualized or commodified version of yoga, we aim to honor its cultural origins and share it in a spirit of devotion and integrity.
