Greetings Body Grace Community!
Re-Opening the Studio
Based on customer feedback
we are happy to offer
six classes this week
IN THE STUDIO
(noted in RED on the schedule below).
We have held nine in-studio classes since 4 July
with the windows wide open.
A breeze flows through the studio
and nature's music (mostly birds)
adds a lovely new ambience
to classes in the air conditioned studio.
Come Join In!
Pre-Registration and
Cancellation Policy
for INDOOR Studio Classes
In-Studio classes are limited to
six students and the teacher.

your desired class.
We will provide an email
response that confirms
your spot in the studio
or offers you a ZOOM ID and password
if the class is full.
If you must cancel your reserved spot

we may offer it to someone else.
Cancellations within 4 hours
will result in a charge for the class.
All in-studio classes are livestreamed

faraway destinations and those

We enjoy light sprinkles as we sweat,
but we cancel in the event of
thunder, lightning, or rain.
Studio weights are available
and cleaned between classes.

We welcome your input on which classes
you would like to attend inside the studio.
We aim to hold a few classes a week

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.
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!!
Wishing you wellness, peace, social justice, and JOY!
Your Body Grace Staff
