Here is what YOU are doing to keep everyone safe:

• You are NOT coming to class if you:
  • have a fever, cough or shortness of breath/difficulty breathing,
  • have been in close contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 or exhibits symptoms of COVID-19.
  • have had mask-free contact with someone who has traveled outside approved counties in the last 14 days.
  • have traveled outside of approved counties in the last 14 days.
• You are pre-registering for class online because class sizes are limited. ​If you don't have access to do this, feel free to give us a call and we can sign you up! *If you are a Sustaining Member and you do not come to class or cancel before hand, we will charge your card on file $10 as a no-show fee*
• You are wearing a mask until you are on your mat.
• You are maintaining physical distance before, during, and after class.
• Please bring your own mat, props, and water bottles to class, as we are not be able to provide them.​

​

Here is what Sangha is doing to keep you safe: 

• All teachers and staff at class have completed the VOSHA online training in methods of protection from COVID-19 in the work place.
• Before class, our teachers take their temperatures and report to Britt (our designated safety officer) who will also ask them COVID-19 screening questions. 

• All teachers and Sangha staff will be wearing masks for all of class and keeping a physical distance of 6 feet from students.

• We have measured out and marked spaces for your mats with blue flags! We're taking the guess work out of it for you.

• Our teacher will be on their mat while folks are arriving for class to limit the flow of people. Our staff person will check everyone in.

• We are requiring pre-registration for classes so that we can manage all students and current state guidelines for outdoor fitness.

• With requiring pre-registration we have a contact tracing log for all classes in the event that someone becomes ill with COVID-19.​

Gettin’ Honest 
We want to acknowledge that the way in which we can currently offer our outdoor classes is not 100% in line with our mission of accessibility. We are following state guidelines and are doing our best to keep each and every one of us as safe as we can. We thank you for being patient with us while we navigate this new class routine and welcome your feedback in ways we can be more accessible. We want you to practice with us and will do our best to make that happen!


Barriers we are aware of: 

Not having your own mat: If you need one, please let us know in advance and we will do our best to bring one you can use for practice or continually borrow at this time. Should you borrow one, we will sanitize it after class. 

Not having your own props: At this time we aren’t able to provide props for outdoor classes due to cleaning and administrative restrictions. If you'd like props, we encourage you to get creative with the props you bring! 
​
We’re in the sun: A handful of people cannot be in the sun for a prolonged period of time. We understand this and will do our best to pick areas for class that have both sun and shade. Additionally, you are welcome to bring a sun umbrella with you!

Having to pre-register: This assumes access to a computer or phone and the ability to create a MindBody profile. It also assumes the ability to pay online with a credit card. While pre-registration is required at this time, please contact us to reserve a spot in class if signing up online for these reasons doesn’t work for you. On an individual basis, we can also set up a way for you to pay with cash or check. Due to our administrative capacity, please leave this option available for those who can truly benefit.

Parking access: We have tried to pick spots in the parks that are located by ramps and accessible parking. We know that this is not ideal for many. Should you require assistance from your vehicle to your mat, please contact us and we will do our best to assist you on an individual basis.

DO I NEED TO PRE-REGISTER FOR Outdoor CLASSes?

For outdoor classes, you will need to pre-register as we will need contact information for everyone attending class so we can comply with COVID-19 guidelines from the state. You can pre-register using the class schedule on this page or by downloading the MindBody app here.

What should i wear?

Comfortable clothing that you can move in! Some people wear pants, some wear shorts. Some wear shirts, some don’t. All we ask is that your private regions remain fully covered to the level of an average bathing suit. ​For outdoor classes specifically, you will also want your mat, sunscreen, bug spray and possibly a towel. Masks are required when not on your mat during practice.
