Body Grace Fitness and Yoga Classes for July 13 -19 and Gradual re-opening of the studio!

Gradual Re-Opening of the Studio

Based on customer feedback

we are happy to offer 

seven classes this week

IN THE STUDIO

(noted in RED on the schedule ). 

All in-studio classes are livestreamed 

on Zoom for clients who join us from 

faraway destinations

and those who wish to stay online with us.

 

We have held two in-studio classes so far

with the windows wide open. 

Doing so has offered a fresh breeze

to flow through the studio

and nature's music (mostly birds) to 

add a lovely new ambience 

to classes in the air conditioned studio.

Our Three Re-Opening Guiding Principles 

We've been busy deep cleaning and preparing 

the studio for an incremental re-opening.

Our re-opening plan has four guiding principles.

 

1) Create an outdoor environment in the studio

We are blessed with 21 windows on our second floor studio.  

As we've studied the science and rationale behind 

exercising outdoors during the 

region's COVID recovery, we've cleaned, repaired, 

and/or replaced the screens and windows.  

We can now open the windows

and enable a cross breeze of fresh outdoor air 

while you practice in the air-conditioned studio.

 

2) No shared yoga equipment; please wear socks 

COVID has changed views about

the use of shared yoga equipment and 

being barefoot in shared spaces.  

Please kindly bring your own yoga mat, 

 strap, blanket or beach towel, 

and socks or grippy yoga socks to class.  

 

You may remove your socks 

when you are on your mat, 

but please wear socks while off the mat.  

 

We deep clean our blocks, magic circles, and 

hand weights between classes. They are the

only shared equipment we may make 

available for now. 

 

We are happy to assign and store 

a dedicated studio blanket to students

for their exclusive use between in-studio classes.

 

We sell new mats and 

grippy yoga/pilates socks in the studio.

 

3) Your Health and the Studio; 

Our Masking Policy

If you have a temperature or a cough 

on the day of your class, 

please stay away from the studio.

 

Consistent with Virginia guidance on masking, 

please enter the stairway and studio 

wearing your mask.  After you 

arrive at your spot on your mat,

you may remove your mask or 

wear it throughout your practice.

 

We now offer a no-touch check-in process and 

have socially distanced the shoe seats. Clients

can expect to touch their own mat and equipment

and very little else while in the studio.

 

Please Keep Sharing Your Preferences!!

 

We welcome your input on which classes 

you would like to attend inside the studio.  

Because of uncertain COVID trends, 

we aim to hold a few classes a week

in the studio for the time-being.  

When the COVID numbers trend 

permenently down in our region, 

we will re-visit our in-studio options.

 

 

We welcome continued dialogue

as Northern Virginia adjusts to Phase II 

and prepares for Phase III.

Write to bodygrace@verizon.net.

 

 

Registering for Online Classes 

 

If you want to attend our online classes, 

please send an email to bodygrace@verizon.net

at least 30-90 minutes before your class.  

We will send you an email reply with 

your ZOOM Meeting ID

15-30 minutes before each class.   

 

Online classes cost the same as in-studio and outdoor classes.

  

It is an honor to serve you as we enter

our second decade in Vienna. 

 

We embrace diversity and reject racism.

We believe wellness is a right, not a privilege.

We promote fitness, kindness, joy, and hospitality. 

We are Body Grace!!
