A free yoga session takes place on the Mall on Sunday. (Carolina Franco and welcomeomdc.com)

[NOTE: The location for Yoga on the Mall is now at Constitution Gardens, rather than Sylvan Theater.]

The Going Out Gurus recommend free things to do for every day of the week:

MONDAY

Sabor Mondays

Dont let Monday get you down; dance your stress away at Lima. Every week, the club offers free admission and free salsa lessons. The DJ spins tunes until 1 a.m., so theres plenty of time to get into the groove.

9 p.m. Lima, 1401 K St. NW. 202-789-2800. limarestaurant.com.

TUESDAY

Wine tasting

Maybe theres no such thing as a free lunch, but free wine? Definitely. It doesnt cost a thing to stop by Bistrot Lepic this evening for a few sips and to learn about a vineyard or two.

Thats because it helps the mind as well as the body, developing patience, discipline and peace of mind, as students at Beyond Yoga reveal

TATA Garcia and Kirk Long

Young people are doing yoga not only as cross-training for their sport, but also to psychologically cope with the pressures of modern living.

At Beyond Yoga studio, the practitioners are one in saying that the regular practice enables them to develop self-discernment. They realize that yoga isnt just physical development, but its real purpose is mastery of the spirit and the body.

Yoga instructor Rhiannon Halley took up yoga for weight loss and to improve muscle tone. She started yoga at age 17, hoping to sweat off the excess poundage. However, she wasnt losing weight.

She shifted her focus from exercise to yogas holistic approach. The exercises became metaphors for discipline and flowing in life. When she became more aware of her nature through the meditation, she got better results. Aside from losing 20 lbs in three years, she has adapted a healthy lifestyle, such as eating more raw foods.

RHIANNON Halley

Before, I would take a class and count the calories burned. Because of meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises), Ive learned to slow down. I dont eat impulsively. I wouldnt do something that is not beneficial for me.

Meditation has given her mental clarity. The cumulative effect is that I make better decisions, says Halley.

She is a certified yoga instructor who took a 200-hour program at the Marianne Wells Yoga School in Costa Rica. She teaches Dynamic Hatha Yoga at Beyond Yoga.

Manduka® Debuts Innovative, Eco-Friendly, Functional Take On A Classic Yoga Accessory -- the unBLOK

Have you ever tried yoga? It's not just for the thin, fit and athletically-inclined. Just about anyone who can breathe can practice yoga to some extent and reap its many benefits. We'll prove it. In this series, U.S. News talks with people who are changing the face of yoga.

Ryan McGraw is a 30-year-old yoga teacher who grew up in Detroit and now lives in Chicago. He also has cerebral palsy. While the symptoms of the group of disorders can vary significantly from one person to the next, cerebral palsy often impairs movement and coordination--two skills we often think of as crucial for practicing yoga. But, as we learned while researching yoga for people in wheelchairs, the principals of yoga don't discriminate. It's true that McGraw doesn't quite look like the yogis in most fitness magazines, and he doesn't anticipate sweating through a session of power yoga anytime soon. He doesn't fit the mold, which is fine, because he's molding yoga routines to fit his needs. Below, McGraw tells U.S. News about his yoga experience. His responses have been edited.

Ryan, I've read on the National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability website that your mother first convinced you to try yoga when you were a teenager. How has it affected your life since then?

I think the main factor of yoga that's affecting me--more now than ever--is in the mental aspect of my life. I'm more tied to myself and have a more positive outlook on life. Physically, having cerebral palsy, I need to keep active and keep the muscles healthy. In yoga, you really have to keep your body aligned, and I feel that has helped my flexibility, balance and coordination. And it's also helped me become more conscious of my breath.

What's been your biggest challenge with yoga?

When I started with yoga, I wanted to go through the whole expression of the poses, and about my sophomore or junior year in college, my yoga teacher taught me that you need to adapt the poses to meet the needs of your body. So once I discovered that, I didn't have many other challenges. I realize that power yoga is never going to be for me, and I'm OK with that. And I haven't had any challenges with discrimination in the yoga community because it's very accepting of all people, including people with disabilities.

Do you have any advice for beginner yogis with disabilities?

I think if you're in a chair, or with any disability, it's key to know that poses can be adapted to meet your body, and you need to find the right thing for you. Do not get discouraged by what we see in magazines; yoga can be inclusive to people with all abilities with the use of props. There are adaptations are out there, and adaptations don't mean that you're doing any less. You're still doing the pose, and you're still getting the benefits of it.

I really want to be clear that yoga is for everybody. And anyone can find their place in yoga, even if it's breathing exercises and meditation, because those are to key elements of yoga.

Speaking of adaptations, what's your favorite pose to do?
