How we are screening: Any participants displaying symptoms are required to stay home.  Only permanent residents are welcome to join classes until further notice.  If any student is uncertain about their symptoms, we will direct them to www.peterboroughpublichealth.ca. Upon request, temperatures can be taken. 

Physical Distancing: Assigned spaces for yoga mats to ensure physical distancing of 10 feet has been outlined.

Cleaning: All public areas including, studio, stairway, entrance and bathroom are cleaned with disinfected detergent between classes including, floors, door handles and handrails.  All equipment is sanitized after each use.  

Other: Disposable masks and hand sanitizer is available upon entry of studio. Students who store their mats here will be responsible for cleaning their own mats. Pillowcases are used on bolsters and pillows and sanitized in dryer after each use and cleaned weekly. Blankets are sanitized in the dryer after each use.

What we will do if there is a potential case, or suspected exposure to COVID-19 at our workplace: All students will be notified, and the studio will be shut down immediately until further notice.

How we are managing any new risks caused by the changes made to the way we operate our business: We will continue to stay informed and follow guidelines established by the Government of Ontario.

How we are making sure our plan is working: Students who will be travelling or visiting with family members within hot zones will be asked to postpone returning to class until they have been home for 2 weeks.
