Our Story

With a wonderful show of support, of friends and community in the Olympia area, Ray Grace founded Olympia Community Yoga Center (OlyYoga) in 1996.

 Ray came to Olympia after establishing and operating a stress reduction/cooperative health clinic in New York City.  During this time at the clinic, he was able to enhance his yoga and meditation practices with several teachers and schools In the New York/New England area. He then traveled extensively, continuing his studies with many of the eastern teachers who brought and developed Yoga in the West.

Ray draws on these experiences as a constant source of inspiration to teach and share with his students the many techniques and forms Yoga and Meditation offers. Viewing Yoga as an ancient science, and also as an evolving healing art.

OlyYoga continues to bring Yoga to the community honoring the lineage of our traditional Eastern teachers.

Providing an environment where the individual needs of each student comes first and everyone is able to progress, in their practice, at their own pace.

We offer small class sizes, taught by dedicated, seasoned teachers.

We look forward to seeing you in class.
