Dupont Yoga coming to former Cafe Japone space in Dupont

2032 P Street, NW

More big yoga news this week. Back in Oct. 2013 we learned that Cafe Japone had closed at 2032 P Street, NW. Next up – Unity Woods Dupont Yoga (these signs were taped to the doors):

Update: thanks to MPinDC for clarifying, “it is a new yoga studio (Dupont Yoga) that will be offering space to a Unity Woods teacher on Saturday mornings.”

Unity Woods’ website says:

“Yoga at Unity Woods is not trendy, but timeless. You may have tried yoga in gyms or in videos. When you are ready for the best in authentic yoga instruction, come try the classes at our three Washington-area locations.

Unity Woods is one of the best known and most widely respected yoga centers in the country.

His approach develops self-awareness through precision in movement and attention to the subtleties of body, breath, mind, and spirit.”
