Cleveland Park Yoga

Cleveland Park Yoga opened in October of 2006.  The founders Rebecca Bly and Purvi Doriswamy shared a vision of a small yoga community that would allow them to reach out to new students while embracing their individual creativity.  The small size of our community and attention to personal detail make our group unique.   Classes started in the Cleveland Park Club and moved in February 2008 to The Center in Tenleytown providing an opportunity to share yoga with a broader community.

Teacher BIO

Rebecca Bly                   Rebecca began studying yoga in high school under the influence of all the interesting folks who hung around her parent's health food store in Wayne, PA.  She continued her yoga studies with local studios while she attended GWU to pursue a degree in Math.  After graduating in 2002, she started training to be a yoga teacher and eventually earned her 200hr RYT in 2006.  She recently retired from jobs in software development to pursue a career in Wellness Coaching.

Teaching Style             Rebecca's teaching style can be categorized as a mindful medium paced vinyasa flow.  The class will change depending on what she has seen and done recently whether it's prana vinyasa flow, vippasana meditations, budokon, restorative or a dance performance - anything goes!  She offers stages of posturing in class so both the novice and the expert are equally challenged.
