Tranquility -- in a strip mall? It's happening at Thrive Yoga (1321-B Rockville Pike, Rockville, 301-294-9642), a newly-opened studio that sits on the site of a former pet store on gray Rockville Pike. Transformed by carved Buddhas, earth-toned walls and even a trickling indoor waterfall, the 4,000-square-foot center focuses on the practice of Vinyasa Flow, a form of hatha yoga that integrates breath and movement in a fluid meditation, and targets the practitioner for whom yoga is more than just a gym activity to fit in between the elliptical machine and weight training. "The name 'Thrive' speaks to growth and fullness, what we hope people will get out of practicing here," says co-owner Kimberly Groark. There's no need to pre-register; the $17 classes are available on a drop-in basis. Haven't yet mastered the mat? Thrive's community class offers an introduction for less than $10. Kate Ghiloni
