Thursday November 19th - PHO order on province-wide restrictions
By order and direction of the PHO, all individuals, places of work and businesses in B.C. must significantly reduce social interactions and travel.
The order is in effect from November 19, 2020 at midnight to December 7, 2020 at midnight.
Indoor group physical activities
Businesses, recreation centres or other organizations that organize or operate high risk indoor group physical activities must suspend the following activities:
- Spin classes
- Hot yoga
- High intensity interval training (HIIT)
Guidance on other physical activities done with a group indoors will need to follow updated guidance that is being developed. These activities can stay open while updated guidance is being developed.
Dr. Bonnie Henry has said the guidelines pertaining to our specific industry would be updated and posted soon, but yoga studios that were not offering hot classes would remain open. The most recent protocols were that people needed to maintain a two metre distance at all times in the studio and that we needed to provide time and space to be able to clean and sanitize between classes and we will continue to do this.
As to the wearing of masks, we completely support Drs. Bonnie Henry and Theresa Tam and as a yoga studio we follow the ultimate guiding principle of Ahimsa, that we will strive to do no harm to ourselves and others. Our unique studio is tiny but we also want it to be safe, so for now since you are wearing a mask to come to the studio please continue to wear it until you are safely on your mat and ready to practice. You can take it off once you are in your own space and can safely maintain your two metres. If you need to use the restroom before or after class please put on your mask, and when you are ready to pack up and leave we will ask you to once again put on your mask before moving around the studio.
Unfortunately we can no longer accept drop in students, all attendance in the studio must be booked in advance. Also, we ask that you arrive no earlier than 15 minutes prior to class and try to leave as promptly as possible after class to assist in our keeping the space clean and sanitized.
Our first goal is to ensure we are all safe and healthy, our second goal is to ensure we can continue to provide you with a space to practice together.
If the guidelines or orders escalate further to the point where we need to close to assist in public protection, please know that our entire schedule would move immediately to Zoom with no disruption to your practice.
Finally, to comply with the Order today, we will be suspending the Sunday morning Life Force Fitness class until the new year.
We will strive to keep you updated as we learn more.
Thanks again to you all for your support through this difficult time!
