| \n Greetings Body Grace Community! \n\n \; \n\n Re-Opening the Studio \n\n \; \n\n Based on customer feedback \n\n we are happy to offer \; \n\n six classes \;this week \n\n IN THE STUDIO \n\n (noted in \;RED \;on the schedule below). \; \n\n \; \n\n We have held nine in-studio classes since 4 July \n\n with the windows wide open. \; \n\n A breeze flows \;through the studio \n\n and nature'\;s music (mostly birds) \; \n\n adds a lovely new ambience \; \n\n to classes in the air conditioned studio. \n\n Come Join In! \n\n \; \n\n Pre-Registration and \n\n Cancellation Policy \; \n\n for INDOOR Studio Classes \n\n \; \n\n In-Studio classes are limited to \; \n\n six students and the teacher. \n\n To secure your spot in the studio\, \; \n\n write to \; \n\n bodygrace@verizon.net \n\n by 9pm the day before \; \n\n your desired class. \; \n\n We will provide an email \n\n response \;that confirms \; \n\n your spot \;in the studio \; \n\n or offers you a ZOOM ID and password \; \n\n if the class is full. \; \n\n \; \n\n If you must cancel your reserved spot \n\n in the studio\, \;kindly let us know \; \n\n at least 4 hours \;ahead of time so that \n\n we may offer it to someone else. \; \n\n Cancellations \;within 4 hours \n\n will result in \;a charge for the class. \n\n \; \n\n \; \n\n \n All in-studio classes are livestreamed \; \n\n on Zoom \;for clients who join us from \; \n\n faraway destinations \;and those \; \n\n who wish to stay online with us. \; \n\n Write to \;bodygrace@verizon.net \n\n \; \n\n to obtain your \;ZOOM instructions. \n \; \n\n \; \n\n Stan'\;s Outdoor Strength Classes \; \n\n continue on Mondays and Thursdays \; \n\n from 9:30-10:15am \; \n\n in the shady part of the \; \n\n Body Grace Parking Lot \n\n (not online - noted in \;GREEN \n\n on the schedule below). \; \n\n \; \n\n As temps rise\, please be sure to \;bring \n\n your own sun screen\, water\, \; \n\n hat\, towel\, energy\, and smile. \; \n\n We \;enjoy light sprinkles as we sweat\, \; \n\n but we cancel in the event of \; \n\n thunder\, lightning\, or rain. \; \n\n Studio weights are available \; \n\n and cleaned between classes. \n\n \; \n\n \; \n\n Please Keep Sharing Your Preferences!! \n\n \; \n\n We welcome your input on which classes \; \n\n you would like to attend inside the studio. \; \n\n We aim to hold a \;few classes a week \n\n in the studio for the time-being. \; \n\n When the COVID numbers trend \; \n\n permenently down in our region\, \; \n\n we will add more in-studio options. \n\n \; \n\n Are you interested in an \n\n In-Studio Strength Classes \n\n on Saturdays or Sundays? \; \n\n How about a \n\n Twilight Yoga Class \n\n on Fridays at 5? \n\n Write to \;bodygrace@verizon.net \n\n to share your views. \n\n \; \n\n \; \n\n \; \n\n \; \n\n \; \n\n Click here to see a description of our classes. \n\n http://bodygrace.com/classes \; \n\n \; \n\n \; \n\n Our Three Re-Opening Guiding Principles \; \n\n \; \n\n We'\;ve been busy deep cleaning and preparing \; \n\n the studio for \;an incremental re-opening. \n\n Our re-opening plan has four guiding principles. \n\n \; \n\n 1) Create an outdoor environment in the studio \n\n \; \n\n We are blessed with 21 windows on our second floor studio. \; \n\n As we'\;ve studied the science and rationale behind \; \n\n exercising outdoors during the \; \n\n region'\;s COVID recovery\, we'\;ve cleaned\, repaired\, \; \n\n and/or replaced \;the screens and windows. \; \n\n We can now open the windows \n\n and enable a cross breeze of fresh outdoor air \; \n\n while you practice in the \;air-conditioned studio. \n\n \; \n\n 2) No shared yoga equipment\; please wear socks \; \n\n \; \n\n COVID has changed views about \n\n the use of shared yoga equipment and \; \n\n being barefoot in shared spaces. \; \n\n Please kindly \;bring your own yoga mat\, \; \n\n \;strap\, \;blanket or beach towel\, \; \n\n and socks or grippy yoga socks to class. \; \; \n\n \; \n\n You may remove your socks \; \n\n when you are on your mat\, \; \n\n but please wear socks while off the mat. \; \n\n \; \n\n We deep \;clean our blocks\, magic circles\, and \; \n\n hand weights between classes. They are the \n\n only shared equipment we may make \; \n\n available for now. \; \n\n \; \n\n We are happy to \;assign and store \; \n\n a dedicated studio blanket \;to students \n\n for their \;exclusive use \n\n between in-studio classes. \n\n \; \n\n We sell new mats and \; \n\n grippy yoga/pilates socks in the studio. \n\n \; \n\n 3) Your Health and the Studio\; \; \n\n Our Masking Policy \n\n \; \n\n If you have a temperature or a cough \; \n\n on the day of your class\, \; \n\n please stay away from the studio. \n\n \; \n\n Consistent with Virginia guidance on masking\, \; \n\n please enter the stairway and studio \; \n\n wearing your mask. \;After you \; \n\n arrive at your spot on your mat\, \n\n you may remove your mask or \; \n\n wear it throughout your practice. \n\n \; \n\n We now offer a no-touch check-in process and \; \n\n have socially distanced the shoe seats. Clients \n\n can expect to touch their own mat and equipment \n\n and very little else while in the studio. \n\n \; \n\n \; \n\n Registering for Online Classes \; \n\n \; \n\n If you want to attend our online classes\, \; \n\n please send an email to \;bodygrace@verizon.net \n\n at least 30-90 minutes \;before your class. \; \; \n\n We will \;send you \;an email reply with \; \n\n your ZOOM Meeting ID \n\n 15-30 minutes before each class. \; \; \n\n \; \n\n Online classes cost the same as in-studio and outdoor classes. \n\n \; \n\n \; \; \n\n It is an \;honor to serve you \;as we enter \n\n our second decade in Vienna. \; \n\n \; \n\n We embrace diversity and reject racism. \n\n We believe wellness is a right\, not a privilege. \n\n We promote fitness\, kindness\, joy\, and hospitality. \; \n\n We are Body Grace!! \n\n \; \n\n Wishing you wellness\, peace\, social justice\, and JOY! \n\n \; \n\n Your Body Grace Staff \n\n \; \n\n \; \n | \n
