Faith Scimecca is the director and lead instructor of Woodley Park Yoga. She is a devoted student of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and spends several months each year living and practicing Ashtanga Yoga at his school in Mysore, India. Jois and his grandson Sharath have formally authorized Faith to teach the Ashtanga Yoga method. She is one of two instructors and the only woman in the D.C. Metro area to receive this blessing.
Diana Aram first encountered yoga in 2004. Although she could barely touch her toes that first day, something about the energetic movement with breath clicked with her and kept her coming back. She soon witnessed firsthand the power of the primary series to transform the body and mind. In addition to maintaining a daily practice, Diana continues to develop her understanding of Ashtanga Yoga by traveling to Mysore, India and assisting her teacher, Faith. 
Megan Riley was first introduced to Ashtanga Yoga in 2004 and continues to be drawn to the practice for its ability to
encourage self study through daily practice. She completed 200 hours of teacher training with LA based Yoga Works studio and is fortunate to learn daily from her teacher Faith Scimecca as she begins to share her own dedication and passion for yoga with others. Most recently, Megan made a trip to Mysore, India where she had the opportunity to practice with the Jois family.
Jennifer Rak has been practicing yoga for over 6 years. While living in New York she began practicing Ashtanga Yoga, a practice that transformed her relationship to yoga and continues to evolve. During this time she complemented her Ashtanga practice with Jivamukti Yoga classes. She has completed the Jivamukti Yoga (300-hour) teacher training with Sharon Gannon and David Life. She is grateful to continue her Ashtanga studies at Woodley Park Yoga and to introduce Jivamukti Yoga to this community.
Julio Torres took his first Ashtanga class in 2004. He thanks his first teacher, Jacque Porterfield, for teaching him the foundations of the Asthanga system. Currently, he has a regular Mysore practice at Woodley Park Yoga with Faith Scimecca, who has taught him to believe in “practice, and all is coming.” Julio was originally trained by Yoga Works, and has taught in the DC area at Georgetown Yoga and Yates Field House at Georgetown University.
