In Swahili, Harambe means “All pull together.” At BloomBars, Harambe is the practice of hope, possibility and compassion – basically, all the things that happen when we all come together.
Think of it as your little one’s first opportunity to express his or her voice (into a microphone), dance, play a drum or percussion instrument, shout, or sing-along to songs that build character, confidence and community.
With more than 10 years of experience in youth development, education and conflict resolution, program instructor Baba Ras D’s “Harambe” is a morning jolt of inspiration for parents, caregivers and children.
We’re excited to announce a new weekly yoga experience at BloomBars! Meet Yoga Share founders Irina Katz and Nina Jot Prakash Kaur. They will lead a team of rotating guest instructors certified in a variety of yoga disciplines. Vegan snacks and tea will follow the class.

More from Irina and Nina:
We started the Yoga Share DC group to create a space where people could connect authentically during and after a yoga class. In teaching and practicing yoga, we know that we feel more alive after class. To harness this energy and create a cozy space, we have tea and snacks after class and gather to meet and chat. We also ask those who come if they are certified and would like to teach. Since we started the group we’ve had about 10 teachers rotate through and teach various types of yoga from Kundalini to Dharma, Vinyasa, Hatha, and others.
About Irina Katz:
Irina first took yoga 16 years ago as part of gym class in Rockville, MD. It wasn’t until 2008 that she discovered that her true passion was in the Kundalini style because of its emphasis on subtle energies and the fire element. She completed her Level 1 training with Elizabeth Greathouse of Yoga House Washington and is now a certified RYT-200 Kundalini Yoga Teacher. Her teaching style is practical, down to earth, energizing and empowering.
