Plan ahead for the 20 years of Beloved celebration with the original founders, OdisaYoga and Maryam Ovissi reunited in this FREE community class and potluck. Limited spaces, please sign up ahead of time.

Origins: Slow and Steady Flow with Odisa and Maryam & Potluck

6 - 7:30 pm All-Levels Class

7:30 - 8:30 pm Potluck in the lounge (bring something vegetarian to share /write ingredients please)

Beloved Yoga began with seeds planted by Odisa and Maryam, who met teaching yoga at Reston's YMCA. They opened the first studio on Sunset Hills Road in 2005. Since then, we have moved into four different spaces, Odisa moved to California and we made it through a pandemic. We are here because you have traveled with us on this journey, slow and steady. Thank you for your support! We invite you to a spectacular yoga experience with Maryam and Odisa, remembering the origins and in deep appreciation for today!

This class is open to all levels. We will have a short intro, hear the origin story of Beloved Yoga, experience a flow practice and end with a blissful guided relaxation. We will then enjoy a community meal. All are welcome.

This morning, led her class in a meditation on roses, which inspired us to share some thoughts with our family on social media. (Today’s photo credit goes to the students in Lisa’s class!) 🙏🌹

🌹 A Valentine’s Day Meditation on Roses 🌹

Today, we invite you to reflect on the rose. Like the rose, we each have layers—unfolding in our own time. The petals remind us to open our hearts gently, with patience and love.

As you breathe deeply, imagine the rose blooming, each petal representing your strength, vulnerability, and light. With each inhale, let your heart soften, allowing love to flow freely, just as a rose shares its beauty with the world.

May this Valentine’s Day inspire you to embrace self-love, acceptance, and compassion.

🌹Breathe in love. Breathe out peace. 🌹
