Mahjong is a tile-based game that was developed in the 19th century in China and has spread throughout the world since the early 20th century. It is played by four players. Playing Mahjong can improve memory, attention, and executive function, as well as social interaction, reduced feelings of isolation, and potential for better mental well-being.

Sallie & Mary Kate from the DC Mahj Collective will be teaching us.

Eleni feels passionately about creating accessibility in the modern yoga world - whether in physical postures, in meditative practices, or anything in between. Outside of yoga, Eleni has a supportive partner and two adorable tiny humans, and works as a nonprofit administrator for a health and human services organization.
