Shoutout to my sweet student Diane who gifted me this beautiful ornament today! It made me feel so loved! 🎁

I know December can be a tricky month for fitness, between the holiday madness and bad weather there are plenty of excuses to skip the gym so I’m extra appreciative of the gals that show up week after week to Flex & Flow ❤️‍🔥

I’m always grateful for my YMCA home and this Christmas season I have even more reason 🥰

Hey friends! I've had some local mamas express a desire for a toddler/kid's yoga class, so I wanted to put some feelers out there to gauge interest. My amazing supervisor at the Olean Y is open to trying it out! I'm thinking Saturdays from 10:30 AM-11:00 AM in January-February?

Pic so this doesn't get lost - here's a throwback to when I taught virtual mommy + me yoga 🥹🥲🤣 crazy this baby is about to turn 4!!

Hi friends! 👋 REBRAND ALERT I have updated the name of my page from Mary Grace Yoga to Mary Grace Fitness to reflect my current Mat Pilates certification, the Circuit instructor certificates that I hold, and my upcoming REFORMER Pilates certification that I am currently working on 🤩

Yoga has a special place in my fitness practice but it's time to update this page to reflect my current passion, Pilates. Be on the lookout for updates as I complete my Reformer Pilates Teacher Training, present my final LIVE Zoom class (targeting early-mid December!), and begin offering private 1v1 reformer sessions from my basement studio in 2026.

In the meantime, you can find me at the Olean YMCA teaching Flex & Flow (22 minutes of weighted mat circuit followed by 22 minutes of vinyasa yoga) at 9am on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Or teaching Mat Pilates on Saturdays at 9am, continuing throughout December.

For private sessions either virtual or in-person send me a message, I'd love to sweat with you!

Thanks for being here! 💝

Pregnancy changes your posture & unless you rebuild strength in your core nothing will return to "normal". An anterior pelvic tilt puts pressure on your lower back & does nothing to support your pelvic floor resulting in back pain and bladder leakage. 💦 If you are tired of hunching or have been standing
