MOVING FORWARD MINDFULLY
We are very looking forward to having the studio come alive again. There are so many ways we are working hard to navigate the coming months as a business. This week has been difficult. For me, I feel as though I spent the last 8 months climbing a very large mountain and COVID-19 blasted me to the bottom and invited me to begin the climb again.
We are at a new place now. All of us. I aim to re-open mindfully after the 4th of July. As I spoke with Dr. David Grimshaw about our re-opening, I was reminded that almost everything we do is a calculated risk. We take a risk when we drive, fly, dance, eat, play, share space ect. We always have. Some people do not have to luxury to call Covid-19 a calculated risk because, for some, it is much more serious than that. I hold this knowledge close to my heart as I move forward.
We will continue to Live-Stream classes from now on. I believe that with the new equipment and technology we are investing in, the at-home experience will far surpass zoom. More to come on our Live-Streaming soon.
Currently, Jay and I have:
Installed a new fan system to circulate air out of the studio and fresh air back in.
Purchased three hospital-grade air filters for each zone of the studio.
Plan to limit class sizes to 10 and create a space that allows for people to respect social distancing.
Spaced the class schedule out a little to allow for one class to exit before the next begins.
Marked the floor with stickers that indicate where each participant should put their mat.
Installed a plexiglass wall at reception to allow for safe transactions.
Supplied the studio with two places to sanitize hands.
Had foot handles installed in the bathrooms so that freshly washed hands don't touch the door.
Created an in-between class cleaning policy as well as an end of the day cleaning policy.
Require that both students and teachers are healthy and symptom-free when teaching and practicing at the studio.
More than ever, the studio needs your support. We feel it a privilege to offer what we do and can't wait to continue to grow as a community.

It is my hope that your yoga practice continues to support your overall wellness. Thank you for being part of our community.
I hope you can join us for some online classes before we re-open.
