Pam Jones is back in Fairfax!

Pam is a senior Dharma Yoga teacher and faculty at the Dharma Yoga Center in New York, where she has studied with Sri Dharma Mittra since 2007. We are thrilled to have her back at Yoga Commons to support our Yoga Teacher Training, and while she’s here we’re opening up a few spots in three of her sessions so our wider community can practice with her too.

Yoga is a living tradition. It lives through the people who practice it seriously and pass it on with care. That's what our yoga teacher training is built around.

Our Hatha-Raja Level 1 training runs September 4 through December 6, rooted in both the Ashtanga Vinyasa and Dharma Yoga lineages that are the heart of Yoga Commons.

You'll learn to teach from the foundation of a complete personal practice encompassing asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, and ethical living. Training is led by our co-founders Jen and Michelle with a carefully selected group of guest teachers across twelve immersive weekends.

This is for practitioners ready to study seriously, whether or not teaching is the goal. Tuition starts at $2,999, with payment plans available. Spaces are limited.

We're not sure when we will be offering this training again, but it won't be in 2027. If you are feeling the pull to deepen your practice, now is the time.

Applications close August 24.

Forward folds cool the body and quiet the nervous system. But getting there takes a willingness to stop resisting and actually settle into the shape, even when that feels uncomfortable.

This month's Commons Lab is built around that willingness. We'll move through a sequence of standing and seated forward folds, starting from foundational forms and building toward more advanced variations.

Along the way, John will break down the key actions that create stability, length, and ease in each shape, so you're practicing with more clarity, not just more effort.

Props will come in throughout to refine alignment, demonstrate technique, and support you where you need it.

Multiple options will be offered at every stage, so if you're newer to forward folds you'll have a clear entry point, and if you've been at this a while, there's room to go deeper.

We’ve been waiting all year to get in the kitchen with Pam Jones, and it’s finally happening next Friday!

The Commons Kitchen is our hands-on vegan cooking workshop with Pam (chef, yogi, Ayurveda practitioner, and founder of Karma Coco), built around one of yoga’s oldest principles: ahimsa, non-harming in thought, word, and deed, including what’s on our plate.

Pam will guide us through cooking a full menu from scratch: a vegan cheese platter with house-made cheeses, avocado beet tartare, pad thai, rainbow sushi, and a lemon tart. We’ll cook, taste, laugh, and eat together, and that’s really the heart of the evening.

No cooking experience needed. You’ll leave with the recipes and the skills to make these dishes again at home.

We’re hosting this one at Kitchen of Purpose in Arlington, a nonprofit that trains people facing barriers to employment for careers in the culinary industry. 10% of proceeds go directly to their mission.

Friday, July 24th
5:30 to 8:00 PM
With Pam Jones

Kitchen of Purpose, 918 S Lincoln St #2, Arlington, VA
Street parking available

$150 ($120 for Yoga Commons members)

We know a lot of you are working on Pincha Mayurasana, and we also know it’s a pose that only comes with real study and commitment. The practitioners who get there do it by understanding what’s actually happening in the body: the shoulder mechanics, the core engagement, the weight distribution.

That’s what this month’s Commons Lab is built around.

Foundation and Flight for Pincha Mayurasana is a 90-minute workshop for every stage of that work, whether you’re laying the groundwork or refining what you’ve already built.

You’ll move through a warm-up targeted to the specific demands of Pincha (shoulders, core, hips), then into workshop-style practice with personalized guidance and real modifications. Beginner and advanced variations both have a place here.

Some prior yoga experience is recommended. All levels welcome.

📅 Saturday, July 11 with Holly Halvorson 
🕐 1:00 PM | 90 minutes
💸 Free with Complete Practice Membership | 20% off with Essential Membership | $45 drop-in
