COVID-19 Protocols
In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are closed for group classes. In the interim, we are offering in-person private sessions. To keep the shala environment as safe as possible for students and teachers, the following protocols are being implemented at AYH.
General:
- masks are worn at all times (single-use 3-ply non-woven polypropylene disposable masks are available for purchase $1)
- hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes are provided
- two Molekule air purifiers are running at all times
- operable windows are open on both ends of the studio
- the shala is cleaned and disinfected after all scheduled sessions
- no use of the shower room or cabinets
Before arriving:
- clean your mat
- submit your completed COVID-19 consent form online
- organize your essentials in a zip lock bag (phone, keys, wallet)
Upon arrival to the shala:
- knock, and the teacher will open the door for you
- have your mask on before entering (you’ll be provided with one if needed)

- slip off your shoes, place your zip lock essentials bag on top of your shoes
Entering the practice space:
- take a squirt of hand sanitizer

Exit routine:
