Brave Vira Mission

   Our mission is embodied in the Brave Vira Symbol. ​The Circle represents our Community; we are strengthened by those around us and always protect our own.  The Arrow is our Warrior Spirit- sharpened and prepared for any encounter, yet perfectly balance for the journey.

History & Philosophy

   In Sanskrit, the word Vira roughly translates to Warrior.  When we decided on the name Brave Vira, our vision was that of a strong, brave warrior.  After our founders spent many years in military life and surrounded by impressive heroes who lived everyday fighting for their community, Joseph & Kelsie wanted to share that strength of spirit and love of tribe with the Georgetown community.

   Life is about holding strong when storms arise and enjoying the stillness between.  At Brave Vira, our focus is not only to be an oak tree during difficult times, but also to prepare you for those moments and enjoy the empowering experience of overcoming challenges.  We work hard and prepare ourselves holistically by testing physical limits, stilling our minds, and drawing strength from the people around us - that is what being a warrior and a community is all about.

Come join us and help build this great tribe of warriors!

Our Studio Policies

Everything that we ask of our staff, our teachers and even our clients is to create the best atmosphere where you can de-stress, de-clutter, and disengage from the worries of daily life. Please be mindful of others and we will continue working hard to hold this safe space!
​

• No Personal Items (including cell phones) in the studio; if you are on call or are expecting an important phone call, please ask the front desk how they can support you during your practice hour.
  
  
• Class Cancelations; We require one hour notice prior to reserved classes (workshops may be subject to earlier cancelation requirements). Please cancel classes online or notify the front desk as early as possible so that we can accommodate and honor other yogis' practice.  A missed class or late notification will deduct one class credit or charge the drop-in rate to your stored payment method. We understand that life can take unexpected turns and we are here to support; first missed class will be excused, but please do you best to plan ahead.
  
  
• Please Leave Additional Props Outside Of The Studio Room unless the teacher or front desk tell you that they are needed for class. Hot classes do not require Bolsters or Blankets and we keep them outside of the room to give you more room for your practice as well as cleanliness.
  
  
• Late Arrivals will not be allowed into the studio room once class starts. If you know that you will be late, please call the front desk to determine if we will be able to get you in for class. This is for safety of your practice (missing the warm-up/preparation for deepening postures) and to limit distractions for other practitioners.
  
  
• Early Departure; if you are unable to stay through savasana, we understand.. But please plan ahead for the full length of the class in order to reap all the benefits! (again, limiting distractions for others while in a meditative/restful space)
  
  
• Sweaty Retail Shopping is awesome, but we ask that you take advantage of our amazing showers prior to trying any new gear on.
  ​
  
• If you Rent A Mat with us, please return the mat to the front desk on your way out.
