Bhakti Yoga DC empowers individuals with conscious lifestyle practices that transform mind, body, and heart. We offer healing yoga, mantra, meditation, kirtan, and philosophy within an authentic spiritual community that nurtures holistic growth and deep connection.
“Yoga is not merely the union of body and mind, but the awakening of the heart, where every breath, every posture, and every thought becomes an offering of love and presence.”
Lineage/Style
“Bhakti Vinyasa Flow integrates asana, pranayama, mantra, and yogic philosophy into a flowing, heart-centered practice. Drawing from Viniyoga, Ashtanga, and Prana Vinyasa lineages, it emphasizes Bhakti teachings and mantra to foster balance, awareness, and spiritual connection.”
