Right now, we know that many in our community are experiencing stress, uncertainty, and financial strain after losing their federal jobs or positions that rely on federal funding. Others are holding their breath in fear of losing their employment, funding, client base, or more. While communities across the country and around the world are feeling the impact of these changes, it is a particularly heavy time to be living in the DC area.

The seeds of Circle Yoga were planted following the events of September 11, a moment when life felt suddenly and forever changed. More than 20 years later, the Circle Yoga community is solidly rooted and ready to support you through another unprecedented time. If your financial circumstances have been impacted by recent cuts at the federal level, we invite you to join us for a Free Yoga for Feds* class.

Choose any class on our schedule, reserve your space in advance using the Free Yoga for Feds pass, and join us in the studio or online. After your free class, if you’d like to continue your practice with us but need financial assistance to do so, we have a few options in place to make Circle Yoga classes financially accessible:

Reduced Rate Pricing — Take one class per week for a reduced rate of $12 per class.

Scholarships — Apply for a scholarship and let us know what you can afford to pay.

Payment Plans — Design a payment schedule that works for your budget.

Yoga and mindfulness practices can be powerful tools in helping us navigate challenging circumstances and difficult emotions—offering solace, reducing stress and anxiety, and building strength and resilience. People of all shapes, sizes, ages, and identities are welcome to share in the benefits of these practices and the care of the Circle Yoga community. We hope to see you at the studio or online soon!

*Free Yoga for Feds Eligibility

Those eligible include federal employees who have been terminated in 2025, federal employees whose positions are in danger or are on unexpected administrative leave, and others (such as contractors and NGO staff) whose jobs have been eliminated or are in jeopardy due to federal program cuts. The Free Yoga for Feds offer is available for one-time use per individual and is not transferrable. Once added to your account, the free class offer expires in 14 days.
