I am fortunate enough to have found this studio several years ago. The space is perfect: welcoming, cozy, clean, with tons of natural light, and skylights to look at just before you do Shavasana. Keith Moore is extremely knowledgeable, and his kind, gentle demeanor and corrections are mood boosting, so much so that you don't even notice what a demanding practice it can be!!! I like it so much that I take 3 different types of classes: 1) Led ashtanga, 2) Mysore and 3) Mixed-styles (with Cleo Kung) and I can't decide what I like best! They will work with you through health and injuries, making sure safety is always first. Try it out, you will LOVE it!

Keith Moore's yoga studio is a light-filled, cozy space. Class size does not exceed 15 students, therefore each student receives ample attention. Keith and his fellow teachers are skilled at teaching traditional poses as well as modifying those poses for injuries or other limitations. Everybody is made to feel welcome as soon as they walk in the door. I practiced for years at many yoga studios throughout the region, but it was when I started taking classes with Keith that I found my yoga home. He is a calm, steady, and exceptional teacher who provides the space for the student to make discoveries about the practice. Ashtanga Yoga Studio DC is a treasure.

Ashtanga Yoga Studio DC is a great place to practice and learn ashtanga yoga. It is a very welcoming, communal space that is conveniently located near Sibley Hospital in DC. There are a variety of classes for all levels. I have been going to classes at AYSDC for several years and particularly enjoy being able to attend daily Mysore classes, as well as the led classes. Keith Moore, who is the owner, creates a warm and inclusive atmosphere for beginners like me, and he has variety of loyal students at all levels. The other teachers are great too and I look forward to taking their classes when my schedule allows. Wendy offers a great class on Saturday mornings. She provides great instruction as well as explaining the principles behind the postures in a very understandable format. They also offer special classes from time to time such as meditation and mindfulness, which help to create a great yoga learning community. I encourage you to visit the studio.

I've practiced yoga for many years but never have I been in a more warm-hearted studio filled with such genuine people. I've rediscovered my love for yoga, newly discovered a love for Ashtanga style yoga and happily wake up every morning in time to start practicing at 5:30am. The teachers are kind and give amazing adjusts - they know when to push you and when to back off and, impressively, can work with every student at every level in a single class. It is a challenging practice to be sure, but a challenge I look forward to every morning, even on the days when I struggle. If you're even mildly interested, I highly encourage you to come by!

I love this studio. Have been coming here since it opened and have known Keith as a teacher for about 17 years. The teachers are able to make the practice work for you. All levels are welcome. Sometimes I go back to beginner level for the instruction.

I've been a longtime student of Keith's and can't recommend him enough. I love Ashtanga yoga, and he is an excellent teacher whether you are a beginner or advanced student. That said, I enjoy and recommend all the teachers at the studio and learn something new from each one of them all the time. P.S. Parking is very easy, and I never have to look, which is a big plus.

It's an amazing place to do Yoga and make friends. I started August 2015 and fell in love with the studio and Keith, owner and instructor. I was a beginner and Keith welcomed me with open arms, walking me through every step of learning Ashtanga Yoga. The classes are always fun and easy to follow for a beginner and challenging enough for advanced yogis. I have taken my mom, husband, sister and many friends, even my 10 year old son and they all really enjoyed it. I have personally improved my overall health and have toned my body. I highly recommend it to anyone, beginner or super yogi, to join this amazing family.

Keith is the very best yoga instructor ever. Every school teacher should take his class to see how he makes each student feel special. He can teach to every level in one class, and everyone feels successful and accomplished. He is an Ashtanga purist, but he also has some fun!!

I have been a student of Keith’s for over a decade. He has always been helpful and patient with my practice. Every instructor he has is knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend the studio, it’s clean, class sizes are manageable (max 15) and always welcoming.

AYC is the real deal. You can count on consistently excellent, authentic yoga practice every day (or as often as you can get there). Keith will change the way you think about yoga and yourself without ever being intimidating, new age-y, or dull. Yoga class at AYC is reliably the best hour of my day.

I am a newbie to Ashtanga and I am so thrilled to be in this studio. Keith has been so welcoming and made me feel right at home from day one. He was super accommodating with having a new student and always guided me through whenever I did not remember the pose. He is excellent with adjustments and motivates you to be better. I am thrilled with my progress so far. This is my new go to studio, I would highly recommend it!!
