Re-opening in a Stepped Approach.

5/27/2020

HYNW will be opening in a stepped approach to ensure the safety and health of all our Community and Team. The studio will feel slightly different for a time as we follow these steps back into normal.

Note: This stepped approach is tentative and flexible and can change at any point in time.

Before we jump into the specifics I want to take a moment to share a few thoughts. Please know we are doing everything we can to make the best decisions but we also honor your choice to stay home if you are not ready to return yet. We know you may or may not agree with our policies and procedures and we honor that. We ask that you practice kindness and compassion, our ultimate yoga, and know that we did not choose this situation and continue to do the best we can.
As a locally owned small business we are trying to figure out how to ease back into a transcended normal, please remember: one person’s choice is not a reflection of your choice. Please know we have done our absolute best to lay out a reopening plan during the most uncharted waters of our lifetime. If any of our policies do not resonate with you please stay home and continue to enjoy our LIVEstream and ON Demand options until you feel comfortable.

HYNW has curated these Re-opening Steps with Safety, Comfort, Fairness, and Accessibility in Mind. Please remember these strategies for reopening are structured around very strict State regulations that if not enforced threaten the very existence of the studio we all love.

Decisions to employ these Steps have been made both for the continued plausibility of the studio and for creating a means for fair access to the limited supply of space and classes as we step back into a transcended normal.

We send you love, grace, and kindness and until we meet again in the Hot Room!

Mica and the Hot Yoga NorthWest Team.
