Mind, Body, and Soul
We seek to help children of all ages to glorify God with their entire human person.
Every child is made in the image and likeness of God and has been endowed with a particular mission only they can fulfill. In order to be the person God created them to be, they must first and foremost have a personal relationship with God. It is also essential that, as integrated persons, they tend to their health in mind and body as much as they are able.
“Train up a child in the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6
We, at Pietra Fitness, aspire to support the work of God in each child, and to help them build and fortify that integrated foundation - mind, body, and soul.

What devices can I use to access the online classes?
If you have a high speed internet, you can join the classes using your computer, tablet, or phone. If you want to watch on a larger screen, you can cast it to your TV. Simply mirror the Pietra Fitness Online Studio videos to your Smart TV, Chromecast, Roku, or other streaming devices. The simplest way to do this is by using your mobile device (phone or tablet).
Here’s how:
- Make sure your mobile device is connected to the same wireless network as your TV.
- Turn on your TV.
- Log in to our website on your mobile device.
For Android users, swipe down from the top of your screen and look for the “Smart View” icon (you might need to download the app if it's not already installed). You can scroll through options, so keep swiping left until you find it. Click on the icon and choose the device you want to mirror to.
Once you're on our website, rotate your device to landscape mode. Then, click the Fullscreen icon at the bottom right of the player. It should work seamlessly!
Do I need any special equipment for the Pietra Kids! workouts?
To ensure a safe environment, it’s advisable for every child to use a sticky mat and to remove their shoes and socks. As the children transition through various poses—standing, lying face down, and reclining—wearing only socks could lead to slips and potential injuries. If sticky mats are unavailable, it’s best to have the children keep their shoes on.
Will classes fit into our school day schedule?
Our series classes last between 15 to 30 minutes and are available for any teacher to use throughout the school day.
PE teachers can integrate these sessions as a helpful addition to their gym programs, or designate one day each week to focus on stretching and strengthening the students while incorporating prayer.
Additionally, we offer 10-minute Daily Doses that are perfect for brain breaks, helping to calm students after recess, before tests, or at the start of the school day, among other times.
