Dear Friends,

The ABC's of Working Out With Friends

Whether you already have a group of friends who like to workout together, or you become friends with new people because of your common workout interests, there are so many benefits to exercising with others:

1) Accountability: Friends help you to stay consistent on a workout schedule every week. They care whether you show up or don't: "Hey, are you going to class today?"

2) Bravery: Friends encourage you to push beyond your comfort zone. They help you find the courage to be challenged in a new way: "At least we can be sore together!"

3) Community: Friends lift you beyond the physical body. Social interaction can be just what you're missing: "We are happier together!"

"We are more powerful
When we empower each other."

All September Long...

When you sign up to take an in-person class,
invite a new friend (or friends!) to join you for free!


If someone you know has never been to a Stop Drop and Dance (Tu/Th/Sa 9:30am), HIIT Camp 30/30 (Wed 9:30am) or Power With Grace Yoga class (Wed 10:45am) before, just bring them to any class in September and they can join you (host) as your honorary guest (no need to sign them up on the website before class - we will collect their information during class)!

  • Host can bring an unlimited number of different new students to each and any class throughout September!
  • Host must be present and have paid for a drop in (or be a member) in order to bring guests
  • Free class offer applies only to "new" first-time students, please
  • One free class per person, then next time that student can pay for a drop-in class (and bring their friends!)
  • Must be used for in-person classes only, offer not available for Zoom classes


Your friend is our friend
and the more the merrier!

"I Don't Sweat. 
I SHINE."


Happiest birthday celebration last Tuesday for Sacha Brandes!  Thank you to Lisa Butcher for encouraging Sacha to make her Stop Drop and Dance playlist with her favorite heartfelt songs, and for bringing donuts to enjoy after class!  Sacha would never have chosen to be in the spotlight herself, but with Lisa's encouragement, she embraced her birthday class and even danced up front a few songs!  Sacha said it perfectly after class ended, "It was the best birthday I never knew I wanted."  Yay Sacha! 

Give yourself permission to shine!

I'm sure all of you were melting from the excessive heat yesterday like I was! 

I learned that it's not a good idea to wear shorts and sit down in your car if it has black leather seats...
I learned that if you don't have AC in your house, then investing in a portable AC for at least one room in your house is a lifesaver...
And I learned that taking a cold shower today was quite amazing...


Looks like the heat is slowly decreasing each day, but if you're going to sweat from the weather anyways, you might as well sweat with us in class!  

Hope to shine with you this week!

Love,
Grace
