For the time being, these are the Covid protocols at Shine:

• Pre-registration is required for all classes.

• Yoga class sizes are limited to about 8-12.

• Students may now use blocks and straps but we will continue to hold back on the blankets for now. Students can always use an additional folded yoga mat to act as a blanket or bolster. And of course, you are welcome to bring any of your own props.

• Students may now need to share shoe cubbies at the entrance for shoes and belongings.

• Alcohol spray and hand sanitizer will remain available for your use.

• We will continue to use our air purifier and wipe down high touch surfaces regularly.

• According to Gov. DeWine, masks are now voluntary for those who have completed the vaccination process — not just for practice but for entering and exiting as well. Masks are still required for those who are not vaccinated.

• * From Kate: I want to share with you all that I will continue to wear my mask at the beginning and end of each class. While I suggest this of the other teachers, ultimately they may choose for themselves. I'm doing this because I want all students to feel comfortable coming up to speak to me in close vicinity as needed and want ANYONE who chooses to continue to wear a mask into, in, or out of studio to feel comfortable about their choice.
