A Clarendon yoga studio is closing its doors as its owner seeks a new location with an additional focus on fitness.
The Suhka Center, which Yelp lists as the number one Black-owned yoga studio in the D.C. area, will be leaving 1016 N. Garfield Street on Friday. Co-founder Damion Moss said high rent and a dissolved partnership with a former business partner are driving him to look elsewhere.

CorePower Yoga is now open in Ballston Exchange and newcomers can receive one week of yoga classes for free.

The studio had been holding a series of free outdoor, public classes in advance of its opening.
