Pure Living Yoga Ahimsa (COVID) Policies and Protocols

PLY Facebook Events-11.jpg

Hi friends!

Let’s get philosophical. Here a PLY yoga philosophy is our foundation. There is one philosophy in particular that we have been paying extra close attention to in these unpredictable times, and that is Ahimsa. Ahimsa is part of the 8 limbs of yoga and refers to the act of non-violence in all aspects of life.

We are doing all that we can to keep our environment safe, sacred, and deeply connected. As the current pandemic continues to shift, we promise to shift our standards along with it. Here is what you need to know to keep yourself and the community happy and healthy:

  • Masks are required in the studio at all times, this includes during all classes.

  • If you’re feeling unwell or have recently travelled, stay home and self monitor (enjoy an online class instead).

  • Store all personal belongings in the hallway cubbies (YQR) / in the change rooms (YXE).

  • Showers are open & cleaned after every use! Please BYOToiletries & Towels. (YXE)

  • Pre-registration is required for all classes.

  • Join the waitlist, they usually move pretty quickly! Don’t lose faith

  • Cancelation policies will be enforced (late cancel = less than 6 hours). Late cancellations and no shows result in a charge of $10 for those with memberships and the loss of a class for those using class passes.

  • Please remove yourself from waitlists whenever you know you can’t make it to class. You can be added from the waitlist into class up until 1 hour prior to the class start time.

  • Sanitize your hands upon arrival and throughout your visit at one of our sanitizing stations.

  • Please remove all footwear at the door (we are a naked foot zone).

  • Practice physical distancing in the space at all times.

  • BYOMat.

  • BYOProps (highly recommended, but not required).

  • BYOWater (we have some for sale).

  • Set your mat up for class at one of the designated spots (find a sticker). Place your mat behind and centre with the sticker.

  • All classes are low heat.

  • Our teachers will be ready to receive students 15 minutes before class times. Be mindful not to arrive too early or stay too long, but if you need the extra love and space in the studio, we are happy to support you as long as needed.

Thanks for helping us get open and stay open! We are doing everything in our power to make sure that Pure Living Yoga remains a safe and stress free environment. Class and workshop sizes have been reduced, props are thoroughly sanitized after every use, and increased cleaning protocols have been implemented throughout the facilities. As always, reach out with your questions and comments and let’s continue to get through this together.

See you on the mat,
The Pure Living Yoga Team

Ps. due to the way we are required to space mat spots, the door to the studio will be locked during all classes. If you are late you will not be permitted to enter the studio unless it has been previously arranged.
