Get Ready for a GREAT Summer!
No matter where you live or where you go this summer, you can enjoy taking the traditional, inspiring and transformative yoga classes teachers at Dream Yoga Studio are known for.

Today is the Summer Solstice -- the longest day of light in the year.
Light, in yoga, is directly connected to healing, en-light-enment, and the joy that shines in the eyes of practitioners who, because of their yoga practice, are more skilled at living life LIT UP (regardless of what life throws at you) ... fully awake and alive.
Your teachers at Dream are planning Summer classes that help both beginners and experienced students experience the full-spectrum of benefits that yoga offers us for body, mind and spirit.
We hope that you will join us online from wherever life takes you. See below for:
- CHANGES at Dream. Join us in welcoming a new teacher and saying goodbye to two beloved teachers.
- Dates and details regarding our Summer and Fall Schedules.
- Tips on how to REGISTER / GET YOUR SUMMER SESSION & other Class Passes.

Dream Yoga Studio Is an ONLINE STUDIO Now |
|
After 19 years, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dream Yoga Studio closed its physical doors which previously limited our dedicated membership mostly to the McLean-Tysons-Corner, Virginia, area.
We are happy now that students -- both new to Dream and old friends who moved away -- are attending our virtual group and private classes from the comfort of their homes located throughout the United States and from countries all over the world! Our Dream Yoga Community is e-x-p-a-n-d-i-n-g!!
At this time, with the uncertainties around COVID, COVID variants and more, we are NOT planning to open a physical location this year. We will continue providing online classes via Zoom through the Summer, Fall and beyond ... as we build an even-better Dream.
As appropriate for the safety of teachers and students, we will provide in-person Private Yoga, Meditation and Life Coaching (including Dream Interpretation) sessions in Dream Yoga's Ashburn, Virginia, location and in homes, schools and businesses.
Come join us and share with Dream students who are happily zooming with us from Florida, Vermont, Massachusetts, Texas, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois, New York, Wyoming (to mention some states), and Finland, Mexico, Russia, England and other countries.

We Say Farewell to Two Beloved Teachers |
|

Colette DeTullio, Yoga Teacher
Earlier this year, our Dear Colette had a small stroke and later underwent thyroid surgery. She is still recovering her voice. She and her husband Bernie will be moving to Delaware and she has made the difficult decision not to return to teaching yoga. Colette has been a Dreamer since 2011 – first as a student and then as a teacher of Creaky Yoga and other classes. She will be missed so much!! To her students, she says: “I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed being an instructor at Dream Yoga Studio and feel fortunate to have met so many absolutely wonderful people…. I have been extremely impressed with your commitment and devotion to your practice and your well-being. You are such terrific role models in MANY ways and have inspired me! I know you will continue on and enjoy experiencing other excellent Dream Yoga instructors. Thank you for the privilege of being your instructor. It has been an honor and a pleasure. My hope is that we will stay in touch and our journey will continue. Sending you peace, lots of love and all best wishes!

Jeff Cook, ShiFu, JiaYu
For 7 years, Dream students have had the benefit of studying Tai Chi, QiGong, Self-Defense and Corrective Functionality with Master Jeff. We wish Jeff well as he pursues his life's passions. He recently shared with Luann just how much he has enjoyed meeting, conversing with and being a member of the Dream Team. He wanted to acknowledge Rhonda --"The wonderful lady who helped Luann with the front desk and managing the office part of the business." He also says. "I had the pleasure of having many wonderful students at Dream. Teaching is my greatest passion in life ( shared with playing my guitars!!!) and I am grateful for having had the privilege of sharing my deep and respectful love of the ancient Chinese arts with each of you. A true Master never stops their own process of growth and "polishing the uncarved block" and that a Master's students contribute to that process through questions they ask and particular things they need addressed as individuals. So I thank all of you for contributing to my continued "polishing" as I walk The Path I began as a child.... Peace and Good Days Always to you."

While Colette can't be replaced, students--even her Dream students who say that transitions are difficult for them--are praising Joanna for being a "very, very, very good teacher." "I really like her!"
Joanna, a student of yoga since her teens and retired D.C. attorney, has taught yoga since 2015. Her additional training and certifications have been in Yoga Align, Integrated Yoga for Seniors from Duke Medicine, Yin Yoga, Therapeutic Wisdom and Gong Sound Healing.
