Sunday Serenity Yoga

Yoga instructor Alia Peera is back to help host our 7th annual summer yoga series with Dumbarton House alongside Rachel Morrison, Alston Taggart, and JoAnn Hill.

As you can see from the event titles, half will be in-person and half will be virtual. Either way, you will enjoy a serene 60-minute all-levels vinyasa flow class that should be fun and challenging for both experienced yogis and yoga skeptics alike! Attendees must complete a waiver to participate, whether in-person or virtual. Pre-registration is required in order to receive the link for virtual classes. In-person classes are every other week starting June 13.

A $5 donation per person is suggested for the class and can be made on Ticketleap or to the instructor’s payment account (shared during each program). Donations will go directly to the instructor. Reservations are required to receive the Zoom meeting link but are not required for in-person classes. Donations to Dumbarton House can be made at https://dumbartonhouse.org/support.


About our instructors

Alia Peera

Alia Peera’s desire to share yoga with others grew out of her own journey for empowerment and self-care. Her love of yoga deepened after she returned to D.C. from a stressful job as special education teacher in one of the most under-resourced schools in the South Louisiana. Yoga helped Alia find the balance both on and off the mat to restore and give more her students, family and friends. Passionate about helping others cultivate their inner balance through yoga and mindfulness, Alia has dedicated her time to teaching yoga and meditation to kids and adults in the DC area. She is certified in Vinyasa Flow/Power Yoga, and has also earned certificates in Yoga Philosophy for Kids Grades K-12. Her style is energetic, friendly, and focused on mindfulness and breath. Alia is energized by empowering others to reach their full potential. In her classes, you can expect to feel cared for yet challenged.
