How We Began
Our community started quietly in basements, living rooms, libraries, studios, gymnasiums, beaches, tennis courts, offices & classrooms. We found space to grow and to meet regularly. Our core group formed, and although each of us came and went, we continued to find our way back to what became Sweetbay Yoga: an inclusive, fun, warm, non-judgmental space to explore yoga, wellness and community. It's so easy to be with us! Besides the Sweetbay classes, we started the teens yoga group called BeYummy (youth united through meditation, mindfulness,& yoga), a Kiva lending team, book clubs, film nights, local and international retreats, yogathons, our own Annual Winter Bazaar, and various activities outside of yoga.

We Continue to Grow
20 years later… we are all still connected to what Sweetbay stands for: an inclusive, supportive, outgoing place to explore yoga and wellness on many levels. This has remained true from its inception. From Westbard’s location to now Cordell, Sweetbay continues to provide community for yogis in Bethesda. Whether you participate solely in the yoga classes, or find your way into all the activities, you are welcome here at Sweetbay Yoga. Sweetbay is truly your om.
