Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I park?
lil omm has plenty of free and metered neighborhood parking during weekday hours on Wisconsin Ave, or behind the studio at Chesapeake and 42nd street (by Safeway and Georgetown Day School). We ask that you do not park in any of the shared lots located behind the studio during weekday business hours. lil omm is thrilled to offer FREE PARKING behind the studio on evenings from 4pm and all weekend. The parking lot is located at the back door of the lil omm studio.
Is the studio for only moms and babies?
We offer a mix of classes and styles for all levels, ages, and genders.
Why choose lil omm?
1. We have complimentary parking for night/ weekend classes
2. We always have complimentary water AND mats.
3. We have smaller, more intimate classes and do not participate in group selling sites ( groupon, living social, etc) which means that we value yoga as a relationship between teacher and student and do not have the intention to pack students into classes with 30+ people.
4. We have a 3 month time limit for all 5/10 class passes which we feel is easy and helpful for students, given scheduling and life.
5. And finally, the piece that we are most proud and grateful for, is we have a number of families/adults who attend lil omm at discounted rates b/c of financial challenges, in this economy. ANY student who emails/ talks to us about needing some assistance, is granted that in a way that feels healthy and manageable for them. And we want to ensure that everyone has access to yoga in DC, and that finances do not prevent anyone from coming to practice yoga.
Why choose membership?
To make life easier and more affordable! The more you practice yoga, the greater the benefits! Ideally, you should practice each day. Membership will allow you to come and go as it fits your schedule and as your children grow. We have some families who enjoy adult classes, classes with their families, and classes just for the children.. all of this can be quite expensive! Membership allows you to fully engage in all the studio offerings.
Membership privileges include:
- free childcare (for family memberships only)
- 10% off workshops
- discounts on sessions
- mat storage
- one private yoga class (up to 4 people)
- special member classes and offers

Childcare
Our playroom is a nurturing environment where your child will learn and grow. Most lil omm childcare providers are yoga teachers (and parents!) that lead a joyful playtime through yoga, dance, singing, coloring, imaginative play and reading. Children in childcare must have a parent or guardian attending class at that time. Maximum 5 kiddos- please register online in advance to guarantee a spot.
Older children are welcome to use the childcare room for reading and homework during any class. We welcome you to use the childcare room with other caregivers and children as a playroom during your yoga class, even if childcare is not scheduled.
What does lil omm mean?
