Good afternoon Tribe. In light of our current environment, I just wanted to connect over the measures we are taking here at TRIBE to keep you healthy and safe. Some we have implemented from our opening in 2017 and others which are new (spoiler: please consider bringing your own yoga mat, water bottle, and towel to class). We take your wellness seriously, and want you to feel at ease here at TRIBE.
We encourage everyone to make it a habit to wash your hands when they come into the studio and after class as well. This step alone is the biggest thing we can do to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria that can cause illness. For your convenience, we also offer hand sanitizer at the front desk.
Disinfect! We always supply disinfecting wipes in each of our studio spaces to ensure you can feel confident in keeping your own space clean and germ free. The wipes we provide are a commercial-grade "quaternary disinfectant cleaner". Please use these wipes before and after class on props/equipment, mats, and bikes.
We also use this disinfectant to clean the props, lockers, door handles, community mats, bikes, and all studio surfaces!
If you feel uncomfortable with touch in class, for any reason, we invite you to use the consent cards provided in the yoga studio. These cards indicate whether or not you would like to receive hands on assists from your instructor. I have also instructed our instructors to use their own comfort as to whether they choose to provide touch in class or not - they will let you know prior to class.
BYOMat, Towel, and Water Bottle. At the current time we will continue to provide community yoga mats, cups and towels, I do ask that you consider bringing your own mats, bottles, and towels to class with you.
We will continue to offer small class sizes, this is one of the features that makes us unique. Our maximum number of participants in cycling is 16, yoga/hiit is 17 and even smaller for our baby classes. Please check out the numbers prior to your sign up and join classes with attendance numbers that suit your comfort zone.
Those who have been around before we opened will be aware of the "drama" associated with our HVAC system. (Recap - it's new, huge, super powerful, and was a lot of work to install). As a result of this monstrous air system, we are very quickly able to turn air around the studio. This constant change of inside air with fresh outside air has been proven to help with other types of contractible diseases.
Most importantly, out of kindness to your TRIBE, please stay home if you feel unwell or have any symptoms.
Warmly,
Heather and your TRIBE Team
