Customer Protocols under Covid restrictions
The studio is open with new protocols in place designed to keep everyone safe. The health and safety of our members and teachers remains our first priority and we are asking all customers to follow the new protocols outlined below.
Do keep in mind that coronavirus is passed on through droplets: that means an infected person must cough or sneeze a droplet that somehow gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth for you to catch it. It is not airborne and can be killed with proper handwashing with soap and surface cleaning. Right now risk in Vancouver remains low, so if you are well, there’s no reason not to come to yoga.
Please make sure to complete our new health declaration/waiver before coming to class.
Bring your yoga mat! (and a blanket or cushion if you need one). We can offer hard blocks and dowels but not soft props unfortunately, during this time.
Entering/exiting JY for all classes
- Wait outside on right (west side) keeping 2m distance at all times and enter studio from the right (west side). Leave to the left (east side)
