Yin Yang Yoga Center, Ashton-Sandy Spring

One of Alicia Cuervo's life goals was to create a safe space where students could share the love of yoga and grow together, a goal she achieved the day she opened the doors to her yoga studio, Yin Yang Yoga Center. From this tranquil space—outfitted with a massage room and a spacious yoga studio flooded with natural light and decorated with Eastern-influenced decor—Cuervo and her instructors guide students of all ages and experience levels through a packed class schedule that features options seven days a week. The studio is kept at 75 degrees, priming bodies to move seamlessly through a sequence of Vinyasa poses. The slow pace of Yin yoga encourages surrender and connection to the breath. The holistic haven also boasts acupuncture, massage, and reiki treatments.
