Keeping Safe in Class during Covid-19

I have compiled this list in order for us to stay safe, happy and healthy during Covid-19.  Please note that you must wear a mask from the moment you enter the building until you get to your mat - Thank you!

General Guidelines for All:

  • Please sanitise your hands before you come in for class. 
  • Hand Sanitiser will be available again upon entry into the building (alternatively you may bring your own).
  • Please wear a face covering at all times in the building until you have safely arrived on your mat.
  • Please keep your distance from others upon entry into the Centre and while walking up the stairs.
  • Please keep your distance from other students when entering and exiting the room and the toilets.
  • ​Please avoid hanging items on the communal coat hooks. Your personal items can be placed neatly at the back of your own mat so that social distancing may be maintained.

During Class:

  • No hands-on teacher assists will be practiced in classes. Assists will be limited to verbal cues.
  • No pranayama or breathing exercises will be taught in classes.​
  • The yoga practice will be confined to our own mats to ensure social distancing.

Wider Scope:

  • Please arrive early to allow you to get settled while observing social distancing rules.
  • ​Markers will be placed in the practice area for placement of mats. Please place your mat just behind the centre of the marker. These markers will limit the number of students per class to 12 in order to allow appropriate space between mats.  Do not move or reposition these markers as they are there to keep everyone safe.​
  • You must bring your own mat and any props that you wish to use.​
  • Please place your shoes and personal belongings neatly at the back  or side of your own mat.  

​Bottom Line:

  • There will be no hugging, ‘elbow bumping’ or handshaking in class.  We can catch up on these once the world is a safer place again. Smiling is still allowed, and encouraged!
  • If you feel unwell with any possible Covid-19 symptoms, please stay home and do not attend class.

Be Kind... Stay Safe!
