Covid 19

• Students will be coming into my in-home yoga studio, therefore, I will be taking extra precautions with ALL students...no exceptions!
• Before each student comes into the studio, the floor is vacuumed, cleaned and sanitized. Each student will have assigned to them; bolster(s) with covers, clean/disinfected blocks, clean/disinfected strap, clean/disinfected chair (if needed), clean blanket(s) once a student uses a blanket(s) I bring them home where they are laundered.
• Between each student there will be a 30 minute period of where I clean and disinfect the studio space. 
• Students may bring their own mats, however, I will require students to clean their mat with alcohol wipes before using mat in studio space. If you'd rather not clean your mat with an alcohol wipe, I have mats that have been cleaned and disinfected that you're free to use. 
• I wear latex free gloves for any physical adjustments.
• I have had the J & J vaccine, and also the J & J Booster and Moderna Booster, I'll be happy to show you my proof of vaccine if you need me to.
• Please note - I do not have bathroom facilities available at the present moment!

• I will wear a mask in studio, I dont require students to at the moment.
• Upon entry to the studio space please sanitize your hands at the dispenser, and clean your mat with an alcohol wipe if bringing your own mat.
• If you are sick, please cancel your appointment.
• If you find out you have been exposed to COVID, please inform the studio immediately and cancel your session. Please follow WA state guidelines for exposure or testing positive for COVID.

Here is updated info in regards to COVID from WA state

Air Purifier -  I have air purifier in the studio space. Air purifier facts - Medify MA-14 Air Purifier with H13 True HEPA Filter. For more information about Medify Air Purifiers please visit www.medifyair.com

Disinfecting - I use Force of Nature, for disinfecting against COVID plus other illnesses and air borne pathogens. Please read the following description copied from their website -

"Force of Nature is on EPA’s List of Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19. The EPA has invoked the Emerging Viral Pathogen policy, where disinfectants can be included on List N because they: 1. Demonstrate efficacy against a harder-to-kill virus; or 2. Demonstrate efficacy against another type of human coronavirus similar to SARS-CoV-2. Force of Nature is approved for use against SARS-CoV-2 because it has proven efficacy killing Norovirus, which is a harder-to-kill virus. Force of Nature can be used against COVID-19 when used in accordance with the directions for use against Norovirus on hard non-porous surfaces. Refer to the CDC website for additional information. The directions for use are: Pre-clean surface of any soil or residue so that the disinfectant can come into contact with 100% of the surface. Spray Force of Nature on the surface until thoroughly wet, let sit for 10 minutes, then let air dry or wipe with clean cloth or towel." 

Q. Why do you still wear a mask

A. You are coming into my house - I have Asthma, and I get bronchitis, and two members of my family have Polycystic Kidney Disease! 

Q. I was exposed to someone who had COVID, but I'm vaccinated can I still come to class?

A. NO, as stated you are coming into my house and I want to protect myself and my family members. 

• Get tested if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.
• Get tested 5-7 days after close contact with someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.
• Wear a mask indoors in public for 14 days after exposure to a close contact or until a negative test result from a PCR test.
• Isolate if they have tested positive for COVID-19 in the prior 10 days or if they are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.
• Follow any applicable federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations.

Q. I have a natural rubber or Eco mat, and I don't want to use alcohol wipes on my mat.

A. I understand I also have a Manduka Eco mat, most of the cleaners for the natural mats are not on the EPA list of approved cleaners/disinfectant for COVID. Therefore, I provide mats in the studio that are cleaned and disinfected for students to use if necessary.

Q. Why do you have 30 minutes between classes for cleaning?

A. I want to make sure that every student feels confident and safe coming into the studio space, allowing 30 minutes between each student allows adequate time for cleaning and disinfecting solutions to do their work!

Q. I'm very sensitive to chemicals, where can i find out about the ingredients that's in your cleaner?

A. Great question, I use Force of Nature Cleaning Solution, you can check out their website at www.forceofnatureclean.com
