Keeping Our Community Safe

Now that we are all able to practice again in the same space, we are more committed than ever to keep our community healthy and safe.

Here are some reminders of some things you can do to keep our community safe, as well as the precautions BYA is taking to do the same. We are in this together! Here's what you need to know:

• Register for class in advance

• For some classes, you can also register to practice in the Phoenix Room, if you wish

• The Phoenix Room is our Livestream Hot Room, available for overflow in busier class times.

• If you need to cancel a class you've signed up for, please do so at least 4 hours in advance. Late cancellations and no shows will be charged a $20 No Show Fee

• Masks are required at all times

- as of May 18th, fully vaccinated people (two weeks post final dose

COVID-19 vaccination) may remove their masks on their mat for practice.

They must still wear their masks in all common areas: the lobby, changing

rooms, and walking to and from their mats.

• Your temperature will be taken on arrival and you will need to answer a brief health questionnaire (unless you have been vaccinated and it has been two weeks since your second dose!)

• Please wash your hands upon arrival

• 19 spaces for the main hot room will be available to students.

• Our main hot room has a capacity of 60 people, there will be plenty of space for social distancing

• Kapalabhati Breathing will be skipped for in-person students

• Most classes will still be available over Livestream, so you can practice anywhere!

• We are committed to full transparency with you through contact tracing and consistent communication.

• We disinfect the locker rooms and all high touch surfaces before and after every class.

• We use a one way air filtration system that sanitizes and pulls in air from the outside and removes stale air from inside the room

• We have recently gotten our one-way HVAC air system deep-cleaned

• There is an air scrubber installed in our one-way HVAC system, which sanitizes the constant airflow into the room
