COVID PRECAUTIONS:
Everyone:
• Masks are NOT currently required by state mandate. They are optional. We recommend that anyone who is NOT vaccinated please wear a mask at all times.
• Wear layers, as we are opening windows for fresh air ventilation often.
• Bring your own personal mat and/or blocks (or disinfect borrowed props with alcohol wipes thoroughly before and after each use). Cloth is highly unlikely to transmit the virus.
• If you use the studio props, please bring your own disinfectant (allergies/preferences etc.) and wash and disinfect your yoga mats and props often.
• We practice nasal breathing in all areas in the studio. Nasal breathing is the healthiest way to breathe, by far. Please breathe through your nose in all classes.
• Maintain distancing in all studio areas. Enjoy before/after conversations outdoors.
