THIS FRIDAY JANUARY 30TH 2026, Mount Pleasant’s main street small businesses are speaking out in a coordinated way to stand with solidarity with our immigrant neighbors, friends, family and community. This event will benefit and support AYUDA () a nonprofit providing comprehensive, low-cost or free legal, social, and language services to low-income immigrants in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, including many of the hospitality workers who make our neighborhood thrive. This event is in lieu of a participation in the national shutdown.
 
Each participating small business will be donating a portion of Friday’s sales to AYUDA.
 
✨ Speak out
✨ Shop with purpose
 
Mount Pleasant is more than a neighborhood. It’s a home fueled by diversity and sustained by immigrants and resilience. Many are feeling powerless in this moment, but this collaboration is a tangible way for our community to come together – neighbors, small business owners, immigrants, citizens – stronger together.

Paws, breathe, repeat 🐾 Here are some of the studio’s best fur-iends, because pets are part of the community too—and honestly, goals in fur form. They really get the practice: no past, no future, just now (especially when snacks are involved)

Thank you for another year of showing up, on and off the mat. Keep those pet pics coming—we love seeing the ones who make the practice look effortless—and we’ll add them to our stories.

In-person retreats are back. And it was incredible to have conversation beyond “are you done with that mat spray”. We practiced, meditated, read, hiked, sweat in the sauna, played Banagrams and slowed down enough to connect with ourselves, each other, and nature. Can’t wait to do it again—hope you’ll join for the next round of finding pleasure in the pause.

The Unwind, our new Friday night class with Lorraine, is basically the opposite of this week—a giant exhale. Soften, settle, and let go with gentle movement, breath work, and maybe some sound bowls.

Because when everything else is shutting down… you might as well, too.
(But in a healthy way. With blankets.)
