Hi friends! It's been a whirlwind January in the Grace & Form studio. Myself and Indiana Woodward have been hard at work launching and building the platform, and all that is to come in the next 12 months. 

We want to really use this community hub to connect with you all. Learn what you want to see in the studio, and have your help and guidance in the continued curation of our classes. 

We'd love to know, heading into a new month what you're excited to see more of 🫶 we will be adding a poll to this community tab soon to see what you're most looking forward to.

In the meantime a little update for you!

YOGA IS HERE 🧘‍♀️ Introducing our incredibly beautiful teacher, April Zanot. April is a playful, light-hearted yoga instructor who believes that yoga is a powerful tool that reminds us to not take life so seriously. She aims to guide students toward cultivating an awareness from within while building a sense of connection in both the body and mind. We have some incredible videos in our streaming library that have just dropped - and she'll be back soon for our live classes.

Let us know if you try a yoga flow, and how you get on 💫
