COVID PROTOCOLS
So many of you are eager to be back practicing in the studio again, and we are grateful for your continued support! Our team is working diligently to keep everybody as safe as possible. Pursuant to Governor Cuomo’s NYS reopening and new guidelines for businesses announced June 15, we have revised our COVID protocols.
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
CONTACTLESS BOOKING
We strongly encourage you to preregister. Walk-ins will be accommodated if space is available.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Due to the limited number of spots available, the cancellation policy will be strictly enforced. Please cancel within 12 hours of the class. No exceptions.
PROMOTIONS
At this time, coupons, discounts, guest passes and previous promotions cannot be redeemed, until further notice.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
We will be using EPA approved and hospital-grade disinfectants to clean all surfaces including benches, floors, door handles, handrails, sink handles, toilet handles, and other common surfaces. All technology including tablets, scanners and credit card swipers used at the Front Desk will be disinfected before each use. We have equipped each practice room with carbon, HEPA and UV-light air filters to clean and circulate the air.
MASKS
If you are fully vaccinated, mask wearing is optional. If you are not fully vaccinated, per CDC guidelines, you are expected to wear your mask at all times in the studio. This is on the honor system, we will not be checking your vaccination card.

USE OF PROPS
We will discontinue the use of all yoga props until further notice. This includes blocks, bolsters, bands and use of additional towels. If you wish to bring your own from home, please disinfect them yourself in between uses. We will only provide weights and rings for Pilates classes – as these plastic and rubberized props can be disinfected after each use.

PUTTING OTHERS FIRST
If you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19, such as a cough, fever, shortness of breath, sneezing, loss of taste/smell, nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea, please do not visit our studio until you are symptom free. If you have reason to believe that you have come into close contact with someone who has COVID-19 or if you have tested positive for COVID-19, we kindly ask that you do not visit our studios for 14 days or until you have tested negative for COVID-19.
If you have any hesitations about taking class in person, please stay at home. You may choose to practice from the comfort of your own home while maintaining your peace of mind by taking our Zoom classes. Stay engaged and stay connected until the time is right for you to come back to the studio.
OUR PROMISE
We are continuing to monitor the situation and evolving CDC guidelines. As the situation with Covid-19 changes, we will adapt. All we can do is take things one day at a time. If there is a confirmed case of COVID-19 where you potentially came in contact with the individual, you will be notified immediately via email. Rest assured that we will do everything possible to ensure everyone’s health and well-being by following all protocols developed by the CDC to clean and sanitize our studios.
