Here’s the news (we hope!) you’ve been waiting for! We are reopening our studios!!!
After careful consideration and planning, we have decided to reopen the studios to physically distanced indoor classes on July 15th. We will continue to live stream classes and will hold more classes outdoors (Oak Park’s outdoor schedule will be more extensive than it is currently). We will be operating under all Illinois Phase 4 guidelines, so we have modified our policies, procedures and schedules to make sure the studio is operating in a clean and safe environment.
Student Guidelines for In-Studio Classes
All students (including workstudy and teachers) must pre-book all classes – there will be NO WALK-INS allowed. Cancellations must be made prior to 8 hours before class. No-shows (and late cancelations) will incur a $15 fee in addition to the fee you paid for class. You must come to the studio between 10-15 minutes before class starts and stand in the check-in queue 6’ apart from other students while wearing a mask. Be aware, you may be waiting outside. Here are specific instructions for what to expect inside the studio:
-
Students should arrive at the studio dressed in yoga attire.
-
You must wear a mask at all times except during class when you are on your mat, even when leaving your mat to use the restroom.
-
Upon entering, we will do a quick check of your temperature and give you a hand sanitizer spritz.
-
We will ask you if you are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms. If you answer yes, you will be asked to leave the studio. Please do not come to class if you are sick in any way.
-
No mat or towel rentals will be available, and no studio props can be used other than weights for Ahimsa Power Flow’s Chisel classes.
-
After check-in, quickly make your way into the studio and lay out your mat. The floor is clearly marked for the new spacing. Place your belongings in the cubbies. Please do not bring your belongings into the studio space.
-
Post-savasana please put your mask on and quickly get going so we can clean for the next class. If you’d like to speak with friends, please do so 6’ apart outside.
