General protocols
Please note the following points on how we address our space:
- It is each individual’s choice to wear a mask or not wear a mask in the Centre and/or during fitness activity.
- Floor markers on the studio room floors indicate yoga mat placements for students and teachers.
- We use Government of Canada approved cleaning products and protocols to maintain the cleanliness of all spaces and disinfect touch surfaces in the common areas throughout the day. A local commercial cleaning company performs a deep clean/disinfection (EnviroShield) of the entire Centre once per week.
