A balanced class inviting you to experience the active and the receptive. In the "flow" portion, shake off your day with inspired movement, and then in the "yin" portion, unravel deep layers of tension in connective tissue. A great choice for yogis who want to move and restore in a single practice



Annie Moyer

Since 2003, Annie has taught yoga, meditation, and yoga philosophy to thousands of yoga students in public classes at Sun & Moon, in corporate settings, in private one-on-one sessions, as part of basic and advanced teacher trainings, and on retreats. 

In 2025, Annie completed a Master of Divinity degree from Naropa University with a specialty in Buddhist-based Chaplaincy, and works part-time as an interfaith chaplain at Sibley Memorial Hospital. 

During her former career as a high school English teacher, Annie began practicing yoga in the 1990s in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C., in a casual apartment setting with a small group of neighbors and one devoted teacher. For five years straight, the group gathered weekly for yoga postures and meditation on a simple wood floor with one cotton blanket each, and much laughter and mutual support.

After her twins were born in 1999, Annie moved to Arlington, VA, and completed teacher training in 2002 at Sun & Moon Yoga, with the intention of bringing yoga philosophy back into the high school classroom. She designed a literature/writing class called Philosophy of Yoga at HB Woodlawn Secondary Program from 2008 to 2017, which students took as their English elective.

Over the years Annie’s role at Sun & Moon has evolved, and since 2010 she has served as Studio Director, overseeing both studio locations with 100-plus classes per week; quarterly programs including workshops, teacher trainings, and visiting guest teachers; marketing and communications; and a large community volunteer program.

Annie is also the co-founder of Awakening Yoga Spaces, a coalition of yoga and wellness communities committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the yoga world, with a primary focus on making Yoga Teacher Trainings more accessible to members of the BIPOC community as a way of dismantling structures of racism and marginalization.

Annie lives in Arlington with her partner Amir Tahami (senior teacher and co-owner of Sun & Moon), their fluffy Persian cats, and the rescue dog and snuggle-artist Currently Known As Prince. The now-adult twins can often be found nearby, sharing meals, dog walks, and a yoga class now and then.

Marjorie Ames

Marjorie Ames began practicing yoga in 1989 and has taught at Sun and Moon since 2018. A career diplomat who retired recently, she brought her yoga practice with her and benefitted from the experience of many extraordinary teachers during her assignments abroad. At Sun & Moon she has found a supportive and welcoming community of inspiring teachers and students. Marjorie participated in Sun and Moon’s 2016-17 Foundations In-Depth Teacher Training Program and received her 200-hour certification in 2019. She is currently completing Sun and Moon's 300-hour Dharma program. In August 2023, she received a Yin / Insight Yoga Primary Level Training certification from the Sarah and Ty Powers Insight Yoga Institute. She is also an accredited teacher of Yoga For Healthy Aging, having completed the training in that specialization offered by Baxter Bell, MD, 500-ERYT and Melina Meza, B.S.N., 500-ERYT in August 2020.

Marjorie is also an experienced practitioner of Reiki, and received her Second Degree certification in the Usui System of Natural Healing (Usui Shiki Ryoho) in November 2017. She offers individual Reiki sessions as part of Sun and Moon's Wellness Collective at the Studio in Arlington.

Her yoga teaching approach is informed by the interplay between movement, breath, and the energetic level of experience. She regularly offers workshops on mindfulness and meditation that integrate gentle or restorative movement with contemplative practices. She believes passionately that yoga is for every body and encourages students to listen to their own wisdom and be curious about what is happening moment by moment. Her classes integrate meditative moments and longer holds in yoga shapes with mindful movement.

Tara Bishop

Tara began her Yoga journey with a 12 week intro to Yoga Class that was a gift from her husband, John, after they had their son John Robert, in 1996. In 2014 Tara came across an introduction to Meditation weekend at the Chopra Center in Carlsbad, CA, while she was in the area for work. After an amazing weekend learning how to mediate, the signs came out on Sunday morning to consider becoming a teacher as a way to deepen your practice, and her joyful path began to unfold. Over the next four years she became a teacher in Mediation, Yoga and Ayurveda at the Chopra Center, and in 2016 began a community class in DC.  Tara also teaches for the nonprofit where she serves as Deputy Chief Executive. She loves sharing the teachings and experiences of Yoga to all of the communities she serves.

Tara’s classes are grounded in the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga and the union of body, mind and spirt.  The breath is the bridge between the mind and the body and together we will come back to our natural state of balance. Tara is part of the 2022 – 2024 300 Hour Dharma Program at Sun & Moon and is grateful to be a part of this community. Tara looks forward to seeing you in class! 

Emily Doolittle

Emily began attending yoga classes at Sun & Moon in Arlington in 2014 and immediately fell in love! The combination of a full time job that requires sitting at a desk in front of a computer all day and a significant case of scoliosis led her in search of something to reduce back and hip pain. Yoga was it! Shortly after beginning her yoga practice, those who know her well noticed improvements in her posture and she discovered that her pain was greatly reduced. 

In addition to her work as an education research analyst and teaching yoga, Emily studies piano, enjoys visiting art museums, and loves reading.

Emily is completing the Sun & Moon In-Depth 200-hour Foundations Program as of the summer of 2024 and is excited to share her love of yoga and its therapeutic benefits with others. Her classes focus on mindful movement, flexibility, strength, and balance. 

Joanna Barrett

Joanna’s classes offer a supportive, grounded space for students to experience yoga and explore their inner landscape with curiosity and compassion. With a gentle and intentional teaching style, she invites students to engage with the full breadth of what yoga can offer both on and off the mat. Her classes support nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and a deeper sense of inner calm and connection.

She has been practicing yoga since 2009, initially drawn to its calming presence during a chaotic season of life. Over time, Joanna’s practice evolved into a path of personal healing, purposeful living, and meaningful community. After completing her 200-hour teacher training in 2012, Joanna continued her studies in yin, restorative, prenatal, and trauma-informed yoga, as well as therapeutic approaches that explore the intersection of yoga and mental health.

Joanna is also a licensed mental health therapist, writer, and devoted lifelong learner. A visionary for intentional living and a passionate advocate for mental health awareness, she is committed to guiding others on their healing journeys. She leads with authenticity, kindness, and compassion, which are values she believes are essential for building a more connected and compassionate world.

Recently relocated from Boston to Northern Virginia, Joanna is grateful to have found the welcoming yoga community at Sun & Moon.

Kristen Verderame

I have been practicing yoga on and off for almost 20 years. As an athlete, I decided that I needed to more strategically incorporate yoga into my training regime to prevent further injuries. It was then that I signed up for the community-focused teacher training program at Embrace Yoga in Washington, DC and obtained my 200-hour YTT certification under the tutelage of the ‘Spiritually Fly’ and amazing yoga/wellness practitioner Faith Hunter. Not only did I obtain the knowledge I had sought to inform my athletic training, but my eyes were opened to a community of wonderful people and a philosophy that now informs every aspect of my life. Who would have thought that to go faster in my racing I needed to find stillness? I was then blessed to be invited into the Sun & Moon family where I obtained my 300-hour YTT certification and have developed the most wonderful community of students. At Sun & Moon I teach an active Vinyasa Flow incorporating strength and fitness, yoga philosophy and pranayama. I have also completed Yoga Shred training, and am a Level 1 Reiki Master. Outside of yoga, I work as an attorney practicing as a general counsel as well as in government relations and cybersecurity, and I have two awesome teenagers!
