Our Covid-19 Policy for in-person classes

We adhere to the following Covid-19 Guidelines, to ensure that we keep you and our staff safe. Before you attend any in person class, please take the time to read these guidelines about what to expect:
 

REQUIREMENTS FOR CLASS 

  • You should come ready to practise wherever possible with their yoga clothes on. 

  • Bring your own mat and any other equipment that you require for class, including blocks and straps. You will not be able to borrow mats or equipment.

  • If you do not bring a mat to class, you may practice on a chair or standing up. 

  • You must not share equipment

​

PRE-BOOKING

  • Wherever possible, you should pre-book classes either via the specific Charity partner or via info@lumifoundation.com. There will be a limited number of spaces available in classes.

  • A maximum number of participants for each class will be agreed in advance so that social distancing may be observed.

​

SOCIAL DISTANCING 

  • Mats in the yoga room must be spaced out to allow for social distancing. The distance from the middle of each mat to the middle of the next mat will be a minimum of 2m. 

  • Your teacher will direct you where to place your yoga mats (participants who arrive first should be directed to place their mats furthest away from the entrance door and the room should be filled from there).

  • You should avoid moving around the yoga room and where possible should remain on their mat or on your chair for the duration of the class. 

  • Only verbal assists will be provided by LF staff during the yoga class –no hands-on assisting. 

  • Where possible, you should not arrive more than 10 minutes before class and should leave promptly after. You should observe social distancing while you are waiting for the class to start and after it has finished. 

 

TIME BETWEEN CLASS & OTHER ACTIVITIES IN THE YOGA ROOM

  • If the yoga room is used for any other activity before the yoga class, that activity should have finished at least 20 minutes before the start of the yoga class. 

  • This allows sufficient time for the yoga room to be cleaned and aired before the yoga class begins. 

 

CLEANLINESS

  • Everyone entering the yoga room must sanitise or wash their hands immediately on entry, and upon leaving. 

  • The yoga room must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before the start of each class. 

 

CLEAN AIR

  • The yoga room should be ventilated with as much outdoor air as possible. External doors, windows and vents in the yoga room should be opened where possible. 

  • Where ventilation systems are used, they should provide fresh air and not recirculate air from one space to another. 

  • If a yoga room cannot be ventilated, the yoga class should not go ahead. 

 

FACE MASKS

  • While waiting for a class to start, participants and LF staff should wear a face mask. You should keep your mask on until directed to remove it by the LF teacher at the start of class.

  • Masks are not required during the yoga class. As it stands, WHO is advising against the use of face masks during exercise.

  • At the end of class, the LF teacher will direct you to put your face mask on again before you leave the yoga room.

 

COVID-19 SYMPTOMS

  • You must not come to class if you are experiencing any Covid-19 symptoms, however minor. It has always been important not to come to the yoga class with a fever, cough or other symptoms, and now it is absolutely necessary. In addition, you should not come to the yoga class for the specified period of quarantine if you have been in contact with someone infected with Covid-19 or if you have travelled to a country/area where you need to stay in quarantine afterwards. 

 

TEST & TRACE

  • The names and details of every participant must be recorded for the purposes of the Government’s Test & Trace requirements. These details should be kept for a minimum of 21 days and then destroyed in accordance with GDPR. 

​

PAYMENT FOR CLASSES

  • If possible, payment for classes should be made by card or via an online payment system as applicable, otherwise, payment may be made in cash. You  should ensure that you have the correct change.
