The Grinning Yogi

Welcome HOme

The Grinning Yogi was founded with a simple mission: to celebrate you, as you are, TODAY. Fed up with the marketing of 'not enough' so rampant in the fitness world, we sought refuge. We were sick of being told we needed to change and we were ready to do something about it. It is with this on our hearts that we opened our first studio in Capitol Hill in 2012.

Years later, nothing has changed. We believe in the power of acceptance, compassion and self-love. We believe that bodies are here to be listened to and cherished. We believe you know what you need, you just sometimes need the space to hear it. We believe in the power of our practice and our community.  We believe in YOU.

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or just trying yoga for the first time - we are here for you. Our *lightly* heated studios are full of fun, flow and -of course- grinning!

Lineage Acknowledgement

The Yoga practices we offer are a set of ancient tools developed from the cultural heritage and ancient spiritual teachings originating from Northern India. Although our visitors are visitors to this practice, we aim to live by and have a deep personal reverence for the tools we have adopted and share within our walls. We honors the roots of yoga, and as a collective of instructors we commit to teaching all eight limbs of the Yoga tradition.
