A small garden before the front door of Sacred Space Yoga stands in stark contrast to the otherwise industrial-looking strip of businesses that run along Randolph Road. The bamboo floors, fountains and decorative statues throughout the studio set the relaxing tone for clients of the studio. In business since 2008, Sacred Space Yoga offers classes that focus on both the spiritual and physical challenges of yoga, while its teachers blend medical science into each class. They sell 'Buddha Nose' and 'Seed' brand lotions and herbal sprays; jewelry by local artists; clothing by Ebb&Flow, Be Here Now and Foat Designs; and mats by Eko Lite and The Boulder Mat Company.

A stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of the six-lane Rockville Pike, this 4,000-square-foot yoga studio is a surprising haven of beauty and tranquility. The uniquely designed space follows feng shui with waterfalls and carefully placed statues. Inside, the rooms host a full menu of yoga, meditation, consciousness-building and holistic living classes, lectures and retreats. Co-owner Susan Bowen says, "We are 'style-agnostic.' We have a lot of different styles of yoga that we teach here. I think people are surprised when they come here just by the variety of programs we have." The yoga studio's boutique sells mats by Hard Tail and Manduka; Prana and Be Present clothing; candles; and an extraordinary selection of instructional books, CDs and DVDs showcasing many different styles of yoga.
