no reservations are required for any classes except for mommy and me on tuesdays or by appointment. :)
Our mission at Body Grace is to make our classes affordable. We do that by keeping our overhead costs down. We ask that you help us by paying in cash, check, or VENMO. Effective 1 February 2024, we adopted the same practices as other small local businesses and began adding the processing fee to client credit card charges.
All fees are non-refundable.
New students may enjoy a complimentary class as a 'thank you' for stopping by.
studio etiquette
We ask students to sign in at the reception desk.
While we have mats, blocks, blankets, bolsters, and straps, feel free to bring your own equipment. Because we bleach the floors, please wear sticky socks to protect your feet while in the studio. You may take your socks off while on your mat, or you may opt to wear sticky yoga socks throughout your practice. The studio offers a free pair of sticky yoga socks to each client and sells additional pairs for $10.
We ask all students to wipe down high-touch blocks, mats, magic circles and bands after class. We do our part by sanitizing the floors, blankets, and bolsters, and we use our high-end air purifiers.
For classes that require no shoes, please remove all shoes in the reception area and place them in the shoe bench. For classes where shoes will be worn, please wipe your feet thoroughly before entering the studio.
Most of our in-studio classes are offered simultaneously live-streamed for our clients who prefer to practice with us online.
Please be on time for class. We will try to keep the spots nearest the doors open for a late arrival. If you arrive a few minutes late, quietly wait in the foyer for the opening meditation to finish. At that point, unroll your mat and enter the room as quietly as you can. The warm-up phase of our classes prepares us physically, mentally, and spiritually for the class. Missing the warm-up increases the likelihood for injuries.
The studio is your sanctuary. Please turn off your cell phone; silencing it is not enough. Unplugging for a bit is good for all of us.
Please refrain from wearing perfumes and colognes. We offer essential oils for those who wish to use them.
Water is the only beverage allowed in the main practice room during class. Kindly bring your own water bottle and use the water fountain in the hallway near the restrooms.
Please stay for your entire class. If you need to leave early, kindly tell the instructor beforehand if possible so that we may position you near the door.
Yoga is better practiced on a fairly empty stomach (unless a specific condition prevents this).
Ask questions any time something is not clear to you or doesn't feel right for you. Ask during class if appropriate or after class. Not all exercises are appropriate for every body. Listen to your body.
And finally, let go of competition and judgment. Show yourself some loving kindness. Do what you are able to do on this day. Every day is different.
policy on registering for classes
Our Mommy, Daddy, and Me Yoga classes require pre-registration by writing to bodygrace@verizon.net. No other classes require pre-registration. Feel free to contact the studio with any questions by emailing bodygrace@verizon.net..
We live-stream most of our in-studio classes on ZOOM in order to accommodate all who wish to attend our classes. Email bodygrace@verizon.net at least 30-90 minutes ahead of the desired class if you don not have the link. You will receive your ZOOM link via email 15-30 minutes before each class.
Outdoor classes require no pre-registration. Simply arrive on time, check-in, and bring appropriate clothing, your own water, and an energetic smile.
studio waiver policy and form
If you are a first-time client, we require a studio waiver that helps us understand any injuries or health issues. You may email bodygrace@verizon.net to receive a copy of the waiver and either email it back to us or bring it with you to your class.

inclement weather
Every effort will be made to stay open, but the safety of Body Grace students and teachers has priority. During inclement weather, or any other emergency, all cancellations will be posted on the classes page of the Website, the Body Grace Facebook page, and if time permits, by email.
