Four New Morning Classes!!
Join Gina for Vital Strength on Tuesdays (7:30-8:15am) and on Fridays (8:30-9:15am) IN THE STUDIO and live-streamed.
These 45 minute classes focus on functional movements - such as squatting, pushing, and pulling - to enhance daily mobility, bone density, and metabolic health. Key exercises include squats, deadlifts, overhead presses, push-ups, and glute bridges that target major muscle groups for overall long-term strength. Join Vital Strength to possess a lively, energetic, and robust state of being, both physically and mentally!
Vital Strength classes are thoughtfully designed to be effective, safe, and adaptable for all fitness levels. The goal isn’t just to work out - it is to help you feel stronger, age with more confidence, and feel more energized in your daily life.
Join Gina for Vital Restore on Thursdays, 7:30-8:15am, IN THE STUDIO and live-streamed.
Restorative exercise is an integral component of one’s vitality; slow, gentle movements and low-impact stretches aim to increase mobility & flexibility, improve balance, and enhance coordination and posture for injury rehabilitation or prevention. Vital Restore exercises emphasize: concentration on breathing, control over movement, slow-motion repetition, deep muscle contraction, mind-body interaction.
These 45 minute classes aim to ease stress, help you relax, and rejuvenate the body and mind. Vital Restore is suitable for anyone who wants to improve their health and wellbeing. They offer ways to enhance functional abilities without over stressing joints or muscles.
Join Power Vinyasa Flow with Melanie, Fridays, 9:30-10:30am, IN THE STUDIO and live-streamed.
Begin your Friday morning with a dynamic vinyasa flow designed to energize and empower. This class starts with sun salutations then builds into advanced standing and balancing poses. Expect creative transitions, a strong physical challenge, and an opportunity to deepen your practice while progressing toward your strength and fitness goals.
Two New Evening Classes!!
Join Us Beginning 11 Juen for Restorative Yoga, Thursdays, 6:30 - 7:30pm
Restorative Yoga is designed to release and relax the muscles, slow and deepen the breath, and ease the mind. You can expect to use props like blankets, bolsters, and blocks to help support you in each pose and you will also hold the poses much longer than you do in other styles of yoga. Holding in supported poses helps bring your body into relaxation. When your body is in a relaxed state, your heart rate and breathing may slow down, your mind can become more calm, and your muscles will have a chance to recover. Restorative practices can aid in managing anxiety, digestion, stress, and tension. These classes are often done to lantern light as the sun goes down.
Join Us in July for Happy Hour Friday Groove Classes, 5:30 - 6:30pm
Unwind from the workweek as Ruta leads a dynamic yoga class that blends flowing vinyasa sequences with grounding hatha holds. Set to an energizing soundtrack, the practice helps you release tension, reset your mind, and restore balance. Class closes with an active, restorative rest that leaves you refreshed, centered, and ready to step into the weekend. Perfectly timed so you can head straight into Friday Happy Hour at Bear Branch Tavern (downstairs).

When the weather is unsuitable, the Friday classes take place in the studio. Contact us at bodygrace@verizon.net for details. Parking is available at the outdoor site. We have weights available that we sanitize between all classes. We bring them to our outdoor location.
Gina offers a bootcamp on Saturdays at 8am, weather permitting. The classes are held in the back parking lot of Bear Branch. When the weather is unsuitable, a modified bootcamp takes place in the studio. Outdoor bootcamp exercises are designed to improve overall physical fitness by combining strength training, cardiovascular workouts, and functional movements in a dynamic environment. These classes aim to enhance endurance, build muscle strength, and promote weight loss while providing a fun and supportive group atmosphere.

Live-streamed class offerings on ZOOM
If you want to attend our live-streaming online classes, please send an email to bodygrace@verizon.net 30 - 90 minutes before your class. We will send you email instructions with the ZOOM Meeting link, and passcode 15-30 minutes before each class.
In studio online option; kindly check our weekly schedule page.
Some of our teachers live quite a distance from the studio and offer their classes only online. Some clients, meanwhile, are tired of looking into small screens while they practice online with their favorite teachers.
The studio has a larger screen computer in the Power and Prenatal Room that permits students to practice in the studio’s sanctuary while their favorite teachers appear on zoom.
Please check the class description page and weekly schedule page for updates each week. If you would like to be on our mailing list, please write to bodygrace@verizon.net.
Studio’s Meditation Partnership
Insight Meditation Community of Washington (in person and online)
Insight meditation cultivates our natural wisdom and compassion. Meditation practice develops concentration, which allows us to calm and steady the mind. This class includes 30-minute lightly guided meditation, followed by a short dharma talk and time for discussion/Q&A. No registration is necessary. Newcomers to meditation and long time practitioners are welcome to attend IMCW classes. When coming to the studio, chairs are always provided or you may bring your sitting gear. Consult www.imcw.org for details.
