Bobbi's Yoga studio is located in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C. As featured in Yoga Journal, "Bobbi Poncé-Barger teaches in her beautifully wood worked studio in the heart of Adams Morgan. Her classes are small (6-8) and she enjoys tailoring her teaching to the needs of the class on any given day. And, there is a special feel to Ponce-Barger's space: located on the third floor of an apartment building, the studio has a woodsy smell and feel. Tall, leafy trees fill the view looking out of the many windows around the studio." - February 2002.
