Five Peaks Yoga

For the avid yogi residing in Northern Virginia, Five Peaks is hands down the best Yoga studio, ever.  In my 4 years of weekly practice, I've been to many yoga studios in the area.  And, while many have their strengths, Five Peaks has something no other studio in the area has:  ESSENCE.  It fully captures the very essence of Yoga.  At other studios, you merely “do” yoga.  At Five Peaks, you move, sweat, breathe, and LIVE your yoga practice.  There's something deeply spiritually here.  Beyond learning how to do my first crow pose and headstand here, I've learned how to surrender and let go of feelings and emotions that I carry with me--through my yoga practice at Five Peaks.  Lauren, the owner, is a tour de force.  Not only is she a badass female business owner.  She's an amazing Yoga teacher (and energy healer) who has developed something special.  That special something has rubbed off on so many of the wonderfully talented instructors there.  It's not a coincidence that many of them were previously students, who were inspired by the energy Five Peaks Yoga classes brought forth in their lives.  I can't say enough great things about this place.  But, if you're looking for a Yoga studio with fancy bells and whistles (i.e. amenities), you will not find that here.  If you're a practicing yogi, however, who cares more about increasing their FLOW in life, then you'll fall in love with Five Peaks, time and time, again...
