Yoga is collectedness (samâdhâna)
-Shankara (Yoga-Sûtra-Bhâshya-Vivarana 1.1)

Be curious.  Be playful.  Be an explorer and discover yoga. 

nilambu means "blue water" in Sanskrit.  Blue water evokes all the healing aspects of the sea as well as the power.  Likewise, yoga is healing and powerful. The world of yoga is deep and wide and can be overwhelming. And hard to navigate. 

Located in the West End of DC, nilambu : a personal yoga studio helps clients explore yoga's full spectrum – physical, mental and spiritual.

With very personal attention and specific instruction and care, nilambu offers knowledge of yoga’s benefits so that clients can develop a practice that is meaningful, responsive and aware.

Yoga is possible and accessible for all. At nilambu, yoga is also fun, enlivening and therapeutic.  Start your journey here.
