Great instructors but shady management, don't bother with this place when there are plenty of other options in the area.

A lovely, serene space for practicing ashtanga. I have been coming to the studio for nearly 2 years and look forward to my weekly Saturday practice. Mary is a skilled, thoughtful, and patient teacher. Through her guidance; I have increased my flexibility and gained mental acuity.

Taking Mary’s Ashtanga yoga classes have always been the highlight of my week! The class is welcoming no matter if everyone is at different levels. She always gives modifications and that extra help you may need when getting into each pose. Her enthusiasm, energy, and the community she’s built has really made me fall in love with ashtanga and all the benefits it brings! I’m so happy I found this smaller yoga setting. I always leave feeling like I’ve been pushed in my practice.

This yoga studio is a gem! I've never have trouble parking on the side streets. I've always found a space regardless of the day/time I've come and it's quick and easy with the park mobile app. Mary Duncan is an amazing teacher! She makes a challenging practice like Ashtanga accessible and even fun. She's very knowledgeable and supportive and does a great job making newbies feel comfortable and welcomed while supporting more experienced yogis to take their practice to the next level. There is a true sense of community in her classes which is more than I can say for most yoga classes I've attended.

Three of us showed up for class, but the door was locked and no one told us it was cancelled. No notification at all, and I had driven 35 min to get there

Just wanted to thank the Instructor, Mary and her lovely daughter, MC again for Wednesday’s Ashtanga yoga class. It is always nice to see how Mary genuinely enjoys teaching and supporting returning and new students each week. She constantly shares her knowledge with others - her passion for yoga is very infectious. I leave each class feeling very relaxed and happy and I look forward to booking another session.

I love this boutique yoga studio. It is conveniently located in Alexandria, Va. It has an ambiance and coziness that makes it an enjoyable place to practice. It doesn't matter your skill level, the teachers are knowledgeable to guide you in your practice. I have been practicing yoga for several years and visited many studios, however Zen Yoga is the go to studio for me. Visit the studio and you will be pleasantly surprise.

I was in the area on business travel and took several classes at Zen. The studio is beautiful and very well maintained. The instructors are excellent. This is now my go-to studio when I visit DC.

EXCELLENT. I am a long time Bikram yoga (Hot 26) practitioner. I travel across the country and around the world for work. I have practiced at many studios. ZEN is beautiful and the instructor, Cara, is absolutely wonderful!!! It is a boutique yoga studio. What it lacks in size, it makes up in positive energy and a caring atmosphere. No drama, just sweet excellent yoga!

I attended the Saturday morning Bikram yoga class (60 min) and it may have been the worst yoga class I have ever attended. I have a long established yoga practice (18 years) and I brought my friend who is a certified yoga instructor. We were both very excited to attend this class at the location in Old Town.

I am familiar with Bikram/hot yoga and felt like I knew what to expect but I couldn't have been more wrong. From the moment we walked in, I noticed that the teacher did not ask if we had any injuries and she informed me that I couldn't refill my water bottle but I could purchase a plastic water bottle at the studio. This was very strange for a hot yoga class where you were expected to rehydrate. The studio itself was small, barely fitting at maximum eight mats, and I often found myself touching the mirror or looking back concerned that I would be in someone else's space when in dancer or warrior 3. The teacher did not demonstrate any of the flow but instead stood in the corner commanding the class. Her verbal cues were the only thing we had to guide us, she did not adjust any student physically or verbally, and she did not adjust her cues to fit the class. There were three people in the class. The language that the instructor used was far from helpful often telling the class to "suck your stomach in" and "lock your knees." When a student didn't attempt a pose, the instructor was very pushy and did not offer modifications. There were no cues for breathwork and no cues on how to sync the breath with the movement at all. There would be strange 30 second times where we were commanded to "meditate now." At the end of the practice we were given a one minute savasana with no breathwork or guided meditation. After class my friend and I noticed we had back pain and lower body pain from this class.

I hate to write bad reviews but I wouldn't want anyone to pay $20 for a "yoga" class that is harmful to their body, mind, and spirit. Don't waste your money, this is not yoga.

This yoga studio and staff are so needed in the area. The location is perfect, the staff/teachers are knowledgeable and the classes are great for any level. I have been doing yoga for almost a decade and I still find new things to learn in these classes. As a yoga lover, I appreciate how this studio welcomes new people to try their classes and how the teachers help with different modifications.

I do wish there were more challenging Bikram or faster paced Vinyasa Flow classes. But I know the area has more newbies so I’ll take what I can get. I have been praying for a yoga studio on this side of the Woodrow Wilson bridge!! Thank you Zen Yoga!

I love this place! It is wonderful to have a high quality yoga studio in the neighborhood. The instructors are top notch and they have a wide variety of classes and every class is welcoming for all levels. I am a newbie and never feel out of place in a class. The studio is very calming and perfectly set up. Just bring your mat and you will not be disappointed.
