Yoga Studio Information

The Thriving Yogi Studio is equipped with yoga accessories such as mats, blocks, straps, blankets, etc., for  clients’ use or you can bring your own.  Wear loose fitting or stretchy bottoms, closer fitting tops, and bring a towel.

Whether you are new to yoga or a practicing yogi, your private classes will comfort and challenge you as you grow into your own practice. 

Ultimately, my goal and commitment as a yoga teacher is to lead more students to the mat, and encourage and teach students to develop their own personal yoga practice.

Thriving  Yogi  Studio—  COVID-19  Response and  Updated  Reopening  Plans

Health officials continue to warn of the potential increase in the spread of COVID-19 across the globe and have advised reopening businesses to take steps to protect against this virus. These reports have understandably caused concern and anxiety among community members and business owners.

While we cannot eliminate all threats to the community, we can take preventative steps to minimize risk and promote a safe and sanitary environment for your private practice at the Thriving Yogi Studio.  As a home based business, cleanliness is always a priority for the Thriving Yogi Studio.  We continue to clean and disinfect all surfaces, props and mats, and launder with a proven disinfectant designed to kill viruses and germs.

The following are new policies and procedures we have implemented to ensure the most sanitary and safe space possible for your private practice:

• Clients who feel sick should not attend class.  Stay home and rest assured private yoga classes can be rescheduled as needed. We are flexible and accommodating to ensure both a sanitary environment the safety of our clients.

• Clients shall access the studio from the rear entrance. Clients may park on the street or the newly  re-paved,  lighted  driveway.  Turn right and walk down the driveway to the rear of the house.  Enter the gate on the left, and proceed down the walkway to the studio entrance under the verandah.

• Clients shall have their temperature checked with a “no touch” thermometer prior to entering the studio. Clients with an elevated temperature will not be allowed to take class and can reschedule.

• Clients shall remove shoes and  wash  their  hands upon arrival.  Soap, water and disinfecting wipes are available for use.  Clients shall wear socks or disposable surgical slippers (provided) or yoga socks (available for sale) until on their mat. Clients may choose  to wear a mask (provided if needed).   Yoga teacher  is  fully  vaccinated and  may choose  to  wear  a  mask. Covid  testing  may  be  required  for  ongoing  yoga practice  sessions  without a  mask for unvaccinated students.

• While sanitized mats, props and towels are available for use, clients may use their own mat, props and towels if desired. (Personal yoga mat towels are available for sale.)

• Whether class is indoors or outdoors, at least 6’ physical distance will be maintained.

The Thriving Yogi Studio will continue to use resources and guidance from the Yoga Alliance, State and local officials to ensure the safety of studio operations. We are  committed to providing private space to practice yoga, reduce stress, improve your immune systems, and focus on mind, body and spirit wellness.

Clients are encouraged to continue to take proper precautions  in  response  to COVID-19 and  influenza:  wash your hands, wear a mask when unable to maintain physical distance, get plenty of rest, breathe deeply, stay hydrated, and continue your yoga practice. 

Stay In Peace,
