Down Dog Yoga to Open New Georgetown Studio Saturday, Jan. 30

UPDATED: Because of the snow storm, grand opening events have been rescheduled to Jan. 30 and Jan. 31.

Down Dog Yoga will open a new yoga studio, at 34th and Prospect Streets, Saturday, Jan. 30, and is celebrating the yoga class space this weekend. It will retain its Potomac Street space as a “yoga teacher training center and for special yoga events,” Dog Dog Yoga founder Patty Ivey told The Georgetowner.

The studio is located in a small retail building that housed Govinda Gallery and Cabellos Hair Salon for decades. At 2,700 square feet, it is larger than—and barely four blocks from—its flagship and original location at 1046 Potomac St. NW, next to the C&O Canal. Its other spaces are in Arlington, Bethesda and Herndon.

“We’re moving!” announced Down Dog Yoga in an email. “After 13 years on the canal, the studio that started it all — the original ‘mothership’ — is moving to a brand new, beautifully updated space. You’re invited. Join us this weekend as we celebrate the opening of our brand new studio space, located just up the road, on the corner of 34th & Prospect.”
