Dream Yoga Studio & Wellness Center is an independently-owned and operated Kripalu Affiliate Studio--the only one in the D.C. Metropolitan area. We're located in the heart of downtown McLean, Virginia, convenient to Tysons Corner, the 495 Beltway, and the George Washington Parkway.
Our yoga and meditation teachers and healing arts professionals are dedicated to helping you experience greater health, well-being and personal growth in body, mind and spirit. We warm-heartedly welcome you as you are, and seek to provide a safe,inviting and nurturing environment that supports your journey.
Guided by the principles of yoga, we strive to create a true community that supports each other in our efforts to become more fully present, alive, balanced, peaceful, joyful and whole. We dream that our efforts will transform the way we experience our bodies and minds, each other, and the world.
Come…and explore yoga, meditation, massage and other holistic paths to health and happiness. Come…and be inspired! Gain new perspectives and insights. Take a deep breath, exhale and relax…to come home to your true Self at Dream Yoga.
And to feel even better, get a Massage or Acupuncture to treat a special concern. Try Foot Reflexology, Thai Yoga Massage, or one of our other Healing Arts Services!
Coming Home… Dream Yoga’s Home Page says, “Come Home!” This is because…many folks through the years have said that coming to Dream Yoga Studio is like “coming home.” They feel comfortable the minute they enter Dream's door.
But there’s another way to look at coming home—the yoga way. Explore more about home-coming in the article, poems, Tips for Practice and “A Student’s Story” here.

5-Day YOGA SUMMER CAMPs
for 'Dream Kids'
For Lil Kids Ages 3-6
Summer Yoga Camps are similar to Dream Yoga’s regular Children’s Yoga Boost Camps for Kids, but even more fun! Kids will learn about yoga poses, their body, the food they eat, the earth they live in, and much more! For information, go to Workshops.
Note: Our Summer Camp for Older Kids has been cancelled due to low registration.
Learn More About The Proven Health Benefits of Yoga!
For years, Dream Yoga Director Luann has told students, "Whatever the problem is, the answer is more yoga!"
Now, a growing body of scientific evidence is showing that yoga is indeed "very effective" in treating conditions of body, mind and spirit. Yoga improves overall flexibility, strength and balance. It's being used to address back pain, heart disease management, anxiety, arthritis, insomnia, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, asthma, menopausal/menstrual problems, and nerve and muscle disease. Yoga is also being proven to help with management of pain, mood changes, cancer, weight...and so much more! Most studies on the effects of yoga in the west show good results with a minimal practice of yoga-for example, once a week for 30 minutes. But in India, where the need for daily or regular practice is understood and incorporated in yoga studies, the research has shown even more profound effects of yoga.
As our understanding of the benefits of yoga grows, so is the number of people practicing yoga in the United States. This number of Americans practicing yoga today as approximately tripled within the past decade and is estimated to be between 15 and 18 million. In addition, of current non-practitioners, Yoga Journal affirms that nearly 8 percent (or 18.3 million Americans) say they are very or extremely interested in yoga, triple the number from a 2004 study. Like Dream yogis and yoginis, more people are also using-or beginning to understand the need to use-yoga as part of a general health regimen to achieve physical fitness and to relax.
"Coming to a Dream yoga class is like getting a workout and getting a massage and going to a therapist...all at the same time. After class, I always feel sooo good!” -- Pam H.

For the most up-to-date schedule at any time for classes and workshops, and to register, go to Dream's REGISTRATION SYSTEM.
More is better! The more you do yoga, the more you’ll see its benefits. To encourage you to sign up for more than one class, Dream gives you a discount when you sign up for more than one of our regular classes. Registration is $17 for the first class and $15 a class for any additional classes (versus $22 for Drop-Ins).
Making up is easy—and even fun—to do. We have a liberal Make-Up Policy. If you know you’ll be absent, double-up during the week—before your absence or afterwards in the current session—taking your regular class and another (perhaps trying out a new class or teacher).
We’re flexible. If your schedule is erratic, register for the class you think you’ll attend the most. During weeks your schedule doesn’t allow you to take that class, enjoy taking other classes.
We let you know. If a class is cancelled due to low registration, students who are registered for that class receive an email at least 24 hours before the class. So please check your email before class. We also try to post cancellations on our Voice Mail at least an hour before the class, and on Dream’s website. Class cancellations are always posted in Dream’s Registration System.That’s where you’ll find the most updated list of classes and cancellations.
We count on your commitment. When you register for a class or workshop at Dream Yoga, your registration reserves your spot and, in return, commits you to payment. Please be sure to read our Cancellation Policies online. We make decisions about holding class and paying teachers based on your registration and commitment, and try to be fair to all by upholding our policies.
Don’t be disappointed…by a class of your choice being full or cancelled. Please register early!
