Covid Guidelines & Studio Policies

The Prenatal Yoga Center honors and respects the journey of pregnancy and new motherhood. With that in mind, we have created guidelines and policies that offer flexibility while maintaining the integrity and intention of our yoga program and other professional services. We appreciate your understanding and observance of our guidelines and policies and look forward to serving you.

COVID GUIDELINES

We’re actively monitoring the situation and evolving regulations. Our top priority has and always will be the health, safety and comfort of our students and teachers, and we’re going to continue to do what’s best for our community. Stay tuned for updates!

 

The following guidelines are designed to keep our students and community safe:

 

  • All teachers and students must wear their masks at all times for in-studio classes.
  • Vaccinations are required to take in-studio classes (per NY State guidelines). If you are not fully vaccinated*, you are welcome to take our online livestream, hybrid, or park classes. You must email a copy of your vaccination card to info@prenatalyogacenter.com UPON REGISTERING FOR CLASS.
  • *People are considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, such as Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or 2 weeks after a 1-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson.
  • If you have received 1 dose of a 2-dose series OR are not at least 2 weeks past your final dose, a mask is required.
  • We are limiting class capacity in order to allow for comfortable distancing.
  • If you are displaying symptoms of any illness, you will be asked to leave the space.

We are so excited to have this opportunity to share this space with you again! Thank you for honoring and closely following our guidelines.

Why An Expiration Period For Class Packages?

We have built our teaching philosophy based on a three pronged approach: fostering community, addressing the aches and pains of pregnancy, and integrating childbirth education. We believe the best way for the student to reap of the benefits of our teaching and community is to attend class on a regular basis. To accommodate the busy lives of our students, we offer prenatal yoga 7 days a week with online, in person and re-release options.
