Dear Yogis,

We are all in this together.

COVID-19 has very quickly changed the landscape of our community, and it is our aim to provide you with transparent updates and support to the best of our ability. It is our priority to keep you, our team, and our community safe and healthy.

Here at Golden Yogi we want to continue being your place of calm and refuge during a time of uncertainty. We will continue to offer classes until we are advised otherwise. There will however be changes to the timetable and studio, as explained in further detail below.

There has been some tough decisions made over the past few days, with the cancellation of events and workshops over the next few weeks. The events and workshops will be postponed and refunds will be offered. You might like to wait to see the new dates released for these, and we will let you know as soon as we have more information.

Please know we are closely monitoring the status of this virus. Thank you for your help with this serious matter.
