Interior Environments

Maintain 6 feet distance from person to person

In our retail space, follow retail guidelines. Employees, ICs and Renters are to wear masks at all times. Customers of our retail space are to wear masks at all times.

On the yoga studio floor, teachers and students may or may not wear masks AND yoga students will enter with masks on.

Only wear gloves when cleaning. Gloves spread germs. Students should not wear gloves.

Each class will open doors 10 minutes prior to class. HOW TO ENTER THE STUDIO

Please pick your class and arrive not more than 10 minutes early. We accept cash donations only of $10 – $20.
For your first visit…regardless of if you ever have been to the studio, you are required to sign an updated liability waiver. You may print and bring with you or we have printed on the premises to sign with a sterilized pen. Waiver 2020
Maintain 6 feet and file in that order. In the Mason studio, the front door of the church will be used.
Please wear easy to remove shoes and plan to take them off at the door and place in your bag with all personal items. There will be no storage for personal items. All personal items will be brought to your yoga mat. Leave as much as you can in the trunk of your locked car. There will be no lost and found.
Wash your hands
Please sign in with a sterilized pen, drop cash in the donation box, and sit down.
Go to a designated mark on the yoga studio floor and sit down with all your belongings. All markings have been made with a “generous” 6 feet apart.
Bring your own props including mat and water. No props or water will be available. Disposable cups for water from the faucet will be for emergencies.
When class ends, the teacher will open the room to conversation and socialization staying on mats.
After class you may gather in the parking lot with your friends to socialize safely at 6 feet.

Our studios will be maintained at 72 degrees or higher at all times. Plan to dress lighter if you are uncomfortable at that temperature.

Some classes may be live streamed to support our online community of yoga practitioners

No physical touch of any kind including hands on healing or physical adjustments will be made.
