Despite this amazing news, there are several precautions that we will need to take. In line with the Belgian government’s new guidelines for the sports industry, mats will have to be 1.5 m apart from each other. This means that the maximum number of people I will allow in a class is 3 in my premises and 6 in the Shala Yoga studio. Hence, during the months of June and July, we will be working with a hybrid system of in-person classes, which will be livestreamed at the same time, so that you will still be able to practice from home should you not feel comfortable yet with practicing in a small group.
Further measures I will take to guarantee a safe environment:
- - Hand sanitizer available at the entrance and in the changing room. Mandatory use upon arrival.
- - Disposable paper towels in the bathroom, which I ask you to kindly throw into the toilet.
- - Textile disinfectant spray available to use on the clothes you leave in the changing room.
- - Disinfection of door handles and floors.
- - Open windows before and during practice.
- - Mats will be available, but you will be required to use your towel on them. I strongly encourage you to bring your own mat if you have one.
- - Props will be available and disinfected. Blankets will be removed.
Please take extra care of arriving on time to avoid crowding the changing room. Two people at the same time maximum. Please refrain from coming to class if you feel sick.
Love, Elena
