The 3rd annual D.C. Yoga Week runs April 12-18. Sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Yoga Association, D.C. Yoga Week is designed to celebrate the practice of yoga as a life-enhancing, stress-reducing discipline, by providing D.C. residents with the opportunity to try a yoga class for free, or at greatly reduced rates.
