Hidden in the shadow of the US Capitol there is an oasis unlike any other in Washington, DC that offers a chance to get away, relax and let go. As the areas only boutique lifestyle hotel synonymous with personalized comfort, The Liaison Capitol Hill, an Affinia Hotel, continues to raise the bar with yet another customizable option: Yoga on the Roof. Liaison hotel guests can unify body, mind, and spirit with a complimentary daily Vinyasa-based yoga class on its signature rooftop pool terrace. Additionally, Washingtonians can indulge in the Tone, Taste, Tan experience, a day-long karma-filled opportunity that touches all the senses.

“Our exclusive rooftop pool and terrace is a resort-like experience in the middle of the metropolis and these yoga- centric experiences elevate it as a sophisticated and urban chic retreat we've branded “Destination Relaxation.” said General Manager Dani Elhachem. “By partnering with Faith Hunter, one of DC's top yoga teachers, we're able to offer guests and area residents an escape, setting us apart from other hotels on Capitol Hill and throughout the city.”

The Liaison has engaged experienced yoga teachers, including nationally recognized teacher Faith Hunter, E-RYT 500, who will lead the class on Wednesdays and was recently featured on the cover of Yoga Journal. Yoga on the Roof includes:
