What you need to know

Bookings are essential as all classes will have limited spaces available for 1m social distancing. Classes will also have a 2-hour cancellation policy, so please make sure to cancel out of class if you don't intend on coming along to give other yogis a chance to join. Book online here.

If you had paused your membership during the lockdown, please get in touch so we can reactivate this for you. If you need an extension on a class pass please also get in touch to organise this. We appreciate your patience as this is a manual process!
Studio
Golden Yogi has always been a place of upliftment, positivity, and happiness, and we are excited to continue offering a joyful and serene space for everyone to enjoy. We ask that you keep our space a "COVID-free Chit-Chat Zone", by keeping conversations about COVID etc. beyond the studio walls. May we let go of the outside noise and connect deeply within.

Health & safety protocols for Studio Classes
We have the following processes and procedures in place at Golden Yogi during RED for the in-studio classes. See below for Outdoor Yoga Classes.
Contact Tracing - 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.
Vaccination Certificates - In line with the current government guidelines anyone coming to in-studio classes, including teachers, must be fully vaccinated. As you know, Yoga is about union and inclusion and so welcoming everyone as they are is one of our core values. After considering all our options we have decided to offer a dual timetable with in-studio classes as well as outdoor classes. Those who aren't yet able to return to us in-studio, are welcome to come along to our outdoor yoga classes.
For anyone coming into the studio, we are required to see your vaccination certificate or valid exemption. To make this process as easy as possible, please send us your certificate ahead of time so we can add it to your profile. If you would prefer to show it in the studio please arrive 15 mins early to allow time for this. Please note that we will not keep your certificate on file, it simply needs to be viewed and checked off in your MindBody profile by our team.
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. 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 yoga mats are spaced out in the large studio room and we will be limiting class numbers to 16 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 16 - 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.
Face Masks - Masks are required throughout the studio until you are on your yoga mat then you may remove your mask for the class.
15 minutes 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.
