Important studio updates
Hi everyone,
I am writing to give you an update about the recently released NYS guidelines for masks and distancing and how we will be adjusting our policies at Yoga 170.
I realize that the updated guidelines from the CDC / NYS are big changes and that some people are super excited, and others are more cautiously optimistic. While I believe it's a very positive step forward, I also want to strike a balance between those that are cautiously optimistic and those that have few concerns. Our #1 goal is to provide a yoga environment that is trusted, comfortable, and welcoming for people of all ages and all backgrounds. I see this mutual trust between all of us as a very important element to our updated guidelines.
With this in mind, here are the updates that I'd like to share. These new policies will go into effect on Wednesday, 5/19 (tomorrow).
Important updates:
Our policy is to follow the guidelines from the CDC and NYS and we will remove the mask and distancing restrictions for those who are fully vaccinated. We will be welcoming, inclusive, and respectful of everyone's decision -- for both students and instructors.
We offer socially distanced mat spaces using mat dots that are 6 ft apart.
Instructors will remain in the same spot and we will continue to offer livestream and new On Demand classes.
You are no longer required to fill out the daily health form. Saving a ton of trees on this one!
Everyone will continue to clean their own space after class and I will continue my commitment to thorough cleanings for a spick and span space for all.
We offer a clean air flow, multiple air purifiers, a central MERV-13 air filtration system and very safe, clean space for everyone.
I am really excited for the future as we enter this new chapter together. Please reach out to me with any questions or if there is anything we can do to support you!
With much gratitude,
Ali
PS. I took the pictures below to give you a feel for the studio, the clean air flow, open doors with fresh breezes, individual cleaning cloths, and the safe, clean space we want to share with you. 🍃☀️
