Covid 19 Safety Measures

​

​

Even though Washington is once again 'doing business as normal', we are making every effort we can to teach safely as we reopen our studio.

​

It has been a challenge to read how to best serve the community, how to keep the studio viable,  and how to keep our staff and students safe.  

​

This fall we have transitioned from holding only one class a day to allowing multiple classes. Many of these class are kept small by the teacher--4, 6, or 10 students may be the maximum number of students allowed in the classroom.

 

You can find out the number of students in individual classes by contacting the teacher of the class you desire to take. These small numbers allow for greater social distancing in the classroom.

 

​

Here are some of the measures we are taking at this time in order to proceed in this transition:

​​

• In fine weather we can ventilate our studio with opened windows, doors, and ceiling fans.

• Air purifiers capable of exchanging and cleaning the air in the entire room are running at all times when the room is closed. 

• Our public yoga and movement classes are limited to ten (10) students maximum..

• We ask students to bring their own mats and props. We know this is a little bit of a hassle but it allows everyone the security of knowing who has been handling the equipment you're using. 

• We offer alcohol-based sanitizer for the use of students in the class and for cleaning chairs if they are being used in a class.

• All students are registered for the class they are in. There are no drop-ins entering the class from outside of the teacher's registration base. This allows for quick and easy contact-tracing should anyone using the studio be connected to an active Covid-19 case. To register for a class contact the teacher of the class you want to join.

• In accordance with county mandates, masks are no longer required throughout the studio. Masks are optional. You may find teachers wearing masks. You may find student's wearing masks. You might even find the entire class wearing masks. For further information about your class protocols regarding masks, talk to your classes' instructor.

• We ask that participants do their part by refraining from coming to class should they not be feeling their best. Please no coughs, sniffles, fevers, etc

• Parents of students are required to keep their children out of a class if they are not feeling well or if they have been exposed to illness at school or in other environments. Parents and all students must acknowledge that they are committed to keeping our studio illness-free and that they are willing to take the necessary actions required to do so. We are not only concerned with Covid circulating through our community. We do not want any communicable illness entering our studio.

• Students and parents of students will notify teachers if they are ill or have been ill in a class or if they have been exposed to Covid, so that measures can be taken, if necessary, to protect all of our community.

• Please feel free to talk to your individual instructors about your concerns and how we can help you feel safe in the studio again.

• Should the need arise, Island Soul Studios, LLC and/or individual teachers reserve the right to cancel classes or transition them into masked classes or online-only classes at any time.

​

Islanders have worked hard at making the San Juans a Covid free home.  We want to be able to enjoy the benefits of this now and look forward to returning to community with all intentions of keeping it a safe and healthy place. Thank you so much for the part each of you have played in this. As we move forward beyond the threat of the pandemic we hope to  be relaxing these current standards.
