It was wonderful to re-open the doors on June 22nd and see some of your smiling faces on the mat (because that is when we could take off our masks)!  We have been open almost a week now and we have worked out a few kinks and I want to give a few reminders and clarifications.

First, as many of you know, Governor Inslee mandated masks for almost everything. We thought we were going to have to wear masks while practicing and teachers when they taught.  Therefore, we removed a bunch of  in studio classes the last few days because we won't livestream with masks on.  Good news!  We are exempt from masks if we are properly social distanced and can maintain it.  Which we are!  See this state order from the Secretary of Health:  Mask exemption.  As long as we keep our masks on before and after class, we maintain social distance on our mats at 6 feet apart.  Therefore, we are adding back those in studio/livestream hybrid classes starting Sunday June 28th (tomorrow). Sign up today! Hooray!

A few things regarding registration:

• Please pay close attention to our live schedule.  We are still ramping up and things can change. Also, pay attention to if you registering for online or in studio classes.  I have a video on the live schedule that explains more.
• We have enabled waitlists.  If you add yourself to waitlist, please pay attention to your email as you will be notified if you get in class. This could happen up to 30 minutes before class so if you do not want to come anymore, take yourself off the waitlist.  If you are added to class you are expected to be there and cancellation fees will apply.
• Please do not register for more that 4-5 classes a week.  These classes are filling up and we want everyone to have a chance to get in class. 
• This first week, I waived cancellation fees since everyone is getting up to speed.  The cancellation policy will now be enforced. You will be charged $25 for a cancellation or no show unless you are experiencing symptoms of being sick. You will need to email the studio to let us know you are sick otherwise you will be charged. We do not like having cancellation fees!  But with such limited capacity,  we have to do something to hold people accountable and mindful of their registrations.

A few things regarding class:

• Please come prepared!  We are not renting towels, mats or sharing props right now. Additionally, we do not have free masks for students.  We have some for purchase for $5.  
• We are having you sign a waiver for COVID.  There is a health screening that states that you certify that you do not have any symptoms of COVID each and EVERY time you come to practice.  We ask that if you test positive for COVID within 2 weeks after taking class, you notify us immediately as we will close our studio temporarily to deep clean and let the virus die. 
• For the livestream classes, some of you prefer to not be on camera.  We understand.  We are working to find a different set up so that only one student plus the teacher are on camera.

Welcome back everyone!  WE LOVE YOU!

• After check in, student enters the yoga room at a designated spot that is 6 feet apart from another mat.
• Once everyone is in their designated space, you may remove your mask. The student will remain in that space for the duration of the class. Once the class is over, masks go back on.  
• The teacher will also stay at their designated spot 6 feet away from all students, with no hands on assists or adjustments.

• To ensure all available spots are filled each class, there will be a strict cancellation policy.  If you cancel at any time (unless you are sick), you will be charged a $25 cancellation fee. So please do not sign up for classes unless you are sure you can make it!  Also, please be mindful to allow others to take classes when you are choosing how many to register for.
