Flow Yoga Studio

At the end of this month, it will officially be a year since I moved from NYC to Washington, DC. In the year I’ve been here, one of my favorite activities has been to explore the city’s wonderful and varied yoga scene. Like many yogis, I call one studio “home”: that’s Laughing Lotus in NYC, [...]

On Monday, my post-bacc BFF, Dave, celebrated his birthday with ten hours of studying and a 7 p.m. orgo exam. Clearly, this is no way to usher in a new year.

Georgetown University Tree Lighting, Dec. 2, 2011 Last night, a couple of my closest post-bacc friends and I gathered in Georgetown’s main quad to listen to carols, drink hot cocoa, and watch the annual tree lighting on campus.

On Friday night, I had the pleasure of a unique DC dining experience: dinner at Elizabeth’s Gone Raw. It is an unbelievable fact that, in the many months I’ve now lived in DC, I have not yet had a chance to try DC’s only raw, vegan restaurant. I blame this on a few things: school, [...]
