Dou Yoga was established in 2011, which is wild, because that means we have been serving the Clinton Hill, Bedstuy community for over 10 years. It started off as a need for my own practice. I used live on Madison and Franklin. As I was biking around the neighborhood I realized that the closest yoga studio was all the way in Fort Greene. So when I saw the “For Rent” sign up in the all glass second window of our 214 Greene location I had to give it a chance. That is where Dou Yoga was born.Then in 2017 we moved to our current home at 281 Greene. We could not be more happy with the move. The space is beautiful and our landlord is absolutely amazing. There is a lot that we have gone through over the decade but being able to practice with this community is what keeps us motivated and drives our passion. Yoga is more than physical flexibility and strength, although it can be very effective for that: it is the process, the experience, and the integration of breath, mind, body and community.
