COVID-19 Reopening Information
We’re so excited to be able to welcome you into the studio once again!
It is of the utmost importance that our students feel comfortable while practicing indoors during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have made upgrades to our studio to create a safe environment to practice in, including:
Updated HVAC system with UV light filtration system to disinfect air as it moves
Mat markers installed on studio floor to ensure 14’ of separate between mats from front to back and 6’ from side to side
Vinyl curtains installed to provide a barrier between mats that are spaced less than 14 feet apart
Contactless check-in system
Enhanced sanitation procedures including a new minimum 45-minute window in between classes to allow for thorough cleaning between every class
Additionally, we’ve implemented all state-mandated guidelines that help us provide a safe and supportive space for our students to practice in.
Please note that all of the information below is mandated by the State of Massachusetts for the safety of both our staff and members. The guidance is constantly changing and we expect to update our protocols in the coming weeks. We thank you in advance for your understanding and compliance.
Before Class
Pre-booking for classes is required; we are unable to accommodate drop-ins at this time.
Class capacities are significantly limited and our cancellation policy will be strictly enforced.
You must complete a COVID-19 screening before entering the building, either online or by phone.
The online COVID-19 screening is only available to clients who have enabled communications for Reminders and Schedule Changes. To do this, please log in to your Yoga Tree account, select the “My Info” tab and make sure that the “Email” and/or “Text” boxes are selected under the Reminders and Schedule Changes field in the Personal section.
Classes booked a minimum of 24 hours in advance: you will receive a link in your class reminder email that will allow you to complete the screening online.
Classes booked same-day: You will receive a link to the online screening in your booking confirmation email.
You may also access the online screening by clicking here. Please note that screenings must be completed no earlier than 24 hours in advance of your class start time.
Masks must be worn at all times, including during the practice.
In The Studio
Congregation in the studio/lobby is limited to 15 minutes before and after class
Due to the need for a COVID screening before class, we are unable to accommodate late arrivals unless you’ve completed your screening online. If your screening is complete and you are running late, please text us at (978) 914-0085 to let us know as the studio door is closed and locked at the class start time
Please bring your own mat and props (if needed) to class with you. We are no longer able to offer complimentary use of studio props however, we do have Jade Yoga mats available for purchase
Personal items allowed in the studio will be limited and purses/backpacks are not allowed in. There will be a designated area to place your shoes near the lobby door and each student will have a small storage container to hold their water, keys and wallet/clutches. If you bring your phone in to the building with you, it MUST be set on Silent Mode
Bottles of hand sanitizer will be placed in your storage bin for use while in the studio. Once the class is over, please place the bottle back in your storage bin so that we can sanitize both before the next class
Mat indicators are taped onto the floors to accommodate social distancing guidelines. Please place the top of your mat within the indicators at your designated spot and adhere to all posted directional signage
We will continue to offer bottles of water for sale but have suspended our selection of tea offerings
If any students do not adhere to the guidelines listed above, they will be asked to leave
We appreciate your patience as we work to foster a safe and comfortable studio environment in the midst of these unprecedented times. Thank you for your continued support of The Yoga Tree, we look forward to seeing you soon!
