The studio has plans to open above the Whole Foods in Friendship Heights, Bethesda Magazine reported.
Friendship Heights may soon bend, breathe and flex -- Potomac-style. Potomac Pilates is "looking to open [a new studio] at 5604 Wisconsin Ave. (right above Whole Foods) in early September, according to marketing VP Catherine Calabrese," Bethesda Magazine reported.

Bollywood dance classes at the Potomac Community Center take place every Tuesday evening.
