We will continue to provide studio classes as permitted by the regulations.

Many students have asked how the Rule of 6 will affect yoga classes. Principally, the rule is about limiting social contact among groups of 6 or more people, but the regulations also state:

“Organised indoor sport or exercise classes can also take place in larger numbers, provided groups of more than 6 do not mix”.

You must wear a face covering in all indoor areas except the studio and leave the building as quickly as possible after a class, avoiding social contact within or immediately outside the building.
