Reopening - Level 2 Guidelines

Erin O'Hara

Yippee!! We are really looking forward to reopening the studio again for classes at Alert Level 2. We will have more freedom and life will be starting to move back towards normal again as we take the big step to Level 2. It is exciting to be able to reopen the studio for classes but we need to be mindful to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community.

We have the following processes and procedures in place at Golden Yogi during Alert Level 2:

  • Please bring to class your own yoga mat and blanket. If you do own other yoga props like a strap and bolster, then you are welcome to bring these along to classes but they will not be essential. For hygiene reasons, we will NOT be providing any yoga props for classes and all classes will be taught as prop-free. If you do not own a yoga mat, we will have these to hire for $2 and they will be disinfected between uses.

  • Social distancing - Please keep 1 metre apart where possible in the reception area. All the yoga mats are spaced out in the large studio room and we will be limiting class numbers to 18 students per class. For social distancing, please use the floor guidelines for mat placement to keep the mats spaced out evenly.

  • Class numbers are limited to only 18. It is essential that you book online in advance and if you can’t make it to the class that you cancel the class so we can give the space to someone else that is wanting to come.

  • Time between classes - There will be a minimum of 15 minutes between classes to allow time for the transition so we only have one group of students in the studio at a time. Please arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before your classes so we can prevent social gathering at the studio. No tea will be offered before or after classes. Only water and hot water will be available.

  • Contact Tracking - We have the COVID QR code Poster at the door as you enter the studio. We will also have an electronic record of all students that have visited Golden Yogi. It is important to make sure your contact details on the Mind Body Online booking system are up to date with a contact phone number and email address for contact tracing.

  • If you’re sick, please stay home!! Please do not come to yoga classes if you are feeling unwell. If you have symptoms of cold or flu call your doctor or Healthline and get tested. Please notify the studio if do get diagnosed with COVID-19 for contact tracing.

  • Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Wash your hands. We also request that everyone uses the hand sanitiser upon entering the yoga studio. There will be hand sanitiser in the reception and in the yoga studio. Sneeze and cough into your elbow.

  • Cleaning - We will regularly disinfect all surfaces within the studio and the studio will be professionally cleaned daily.

  • Hands-on Adjustments - The teachers will not be offering hands-on adjustments during the classes at Alert Level 2.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and support over this time with all the changes in how we operate our yoga studio. We love continuing to support the community through this time of uncertainty and change. We would like Golden Yogi to continue to be a place of sanctuary and we look forward to seeing you at some classes again soon.

Namaste,

Erin and the Golden Yogi team.
