There's Nothing Stopping You
Thanks to our nonprofit mission, no one is turned away from our classes nor teacher
trainings for lack of funds. We offer work/study exchange, partial scholarships,
 extended payment plans and discounts. But many choose to train with Yoga District
not because its financially accessible, but because we put our heart and soul into
it-so much so that most our staff teachers are graduates of our training program.
Even after graduating, we offer many of our graduates feedback and continuing education
opportunities so they can continue to grow. Whether you take the training to teach
in studios, to teach yoga outreach to underserved communities, or to develop a deeper
bond with fellow yoga lovers, the training is a catalyst for transformation inside
and out. Jasmine is returning to join Kat Kuzner in leading two teacher trainings
featuring multiple yoga styles [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Dz7DvSkydI6Ae4345z-LblPJfGGNfGQFlUfQvHld0UJ4_JcHqEbXu7MeMfOp_oKv9QjIwphonfnD_0RlkVHMWOg5UKLJnuwOiOyLkkFr5FVTZBtXyqxkYIEmcLA26yLAanxhiU-6hNyzokaUsIGcIExU1kE-e0MjGLMgaQMQNdc9rSodQYtPuNT_o8rgE-SqRnD6gG84yZTpzgIVdy4uk3taIGUTYNePTxopj8DSU86jVsjz3xZkNDFUP3mjNbK9XvA4k4khlQncq9jem5uMjEg6d0DfMC_0Xpwd26fNBevc2rlZPSRdTZrVdTfxHKRgDksnkla1wOX9ekICRLRsoQ==&c=CDZCDeRKqVRSjf-3TqhyMNP4r5lX3iWhhHSCjmrFkcupxae03ytP9Q==&ch=pnGaara3GwFRmlkrJOYUhGJ53G9CiyRxzfm1MbSdUIEIafgLshV5ZA==]

Dharma
Love

We're so honored to serve a community of individuals who embody yoga through deed
and action. On May 3, the DC Dharma Yoga community came together to share a day 
of practice and devotion with Sri Dharma and to raise funds for Doctors without 
Borders' Nepal relief efforts. Thank you for your generosity! To keep this effort
going, we encourage you to make additional contributions supporting Nepal directly,
and we encourage you to continue your practice in the Dharma Yoga tradition by visiting
Sri Dharma in New York and by practicing with DC-area Dharma teachers. One such 
teacher is Brando, who you can regularly find at the I Street studio. To learn more
about Brando, check out his interview on the Yoga District blog and sign up for 
one of his classes next week.

Yoga for Stress
Management

Stress is often unavoidable and inevitable-and most of us experience stress throughout
our daily routines. Without knowing how to release stress, it can easily build up
into anxiety and habitual, unhealthy behavior. The key isn't necessarily avoiding
stress, but learning to manage it to alleviate suffering. Yoga District teacher 
and licensed psychotherapist Brooke Baker brings together her love of yoga and her
knowledge of therapeutic tools in her Release Into Yoga [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Dz7DvSkydI6Ae4345z-LblPJfGGNfGQFlUfQvHld0UJ4_JcHqEbXu7MeMfOp_oKvCuSj8742Jjdz_kbjCPb0Z3FMJapLvbgscsMEDFX40qNmXdt2YMuH-0H2Mc7YAVTlEown8Ji5JZe8NoPeqfgk3eyDVzvFFHX--vxsQk93iZF_bhGO1FHjULE-vy5lTPA-7ZJHzXF9PzTvokQ_ZfWsCmecF9CAqToho6V_8G0RALWmZggtGRb0nVyrYWzZUoTznsxwWN-y6w1v652Wf_dFN0eBYNx2oiB2Rxd_zC36Ay6jO3GOA--9lKLpcUpnXujClSTB-JsYdGY=&c=CDZCDeRKqVRSjf-3TqhyMNP4r5lX3iWhhHSCjmrFkcupxae03ytP9Q==&ch=pnGaara3GwFRmlkrJOYUhGJ53G9CiyRxzfm1MbSdUIEIafgLshV5ZA==]
stress management workshop on June 13. During this practical workshop, attendees
 will learn to create a comprehensive self-care plan for managing stress on a daily
basis, as well as a gentle, restorative yoga practice to alleviate stress. Even 
if you can't make it to the workshop, take a breath right now as we wish you happiness,
health and freedom.

Meet your
Community

"I went to a Yoga District class and something clicked," says Yoga District student
Yura Schreiber. "Now, 4 years later, I am still going to classes regularly." For
 Yura, Yoga District is more than a studio, it is a family and a community of people
to not only practice with, but also rely on. As a single mother to two girls and
 a teacher with three teaching jobs, she's no stranger to stress, but making time
for yoga allows her to find a way to decompress and get away from the "craziness"
of a hectic life. We hope you take the time to check out her introductory blog for
inspiration. Please also consider saying hello to Yura and the students, teachers
and interns that you share a practice with next time you come to class-you'll likely
brighten their day and yours.

we love providing opportunities for the Yoga District community to give back too.

intern at our H Street studio, was recently nominated as a "Metro DC Finest" representative
of the CFF, and in doing so committed to raising $2,500 over the next two months
 for the CFF. We're looking forward to supporting her amazing commitment and the
 CFF with this class. The class will be taught by the masterful, inspiring Kate 
A., and all donations will benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

The Breath
of Life
As a child growing up with severe asthma, Sarah Hull craved the opportunity to take
deep cleansing breaths. She began playing sports and engaged in activity to build
her lung capacity-knowing that the ability to breathe deeply would make her feel
 better. Now, as a yoga practitioner and recent teacher training grad, Sarah values
yoga breathing exercises for their effects on wellness. With the ability to unify
the mind and body, bring calmness and balance, these breathing practices are an 
essential practice on the yoga mat and off. If you've wondered how your breath can
help you in yoga class, learn about the four basic practices found in most yoga 
classes in Sarah's blog.
