Yoga mat sharing - update

We live in changing times and this week I'm teaching mantra in my classes:

"I am strong" as we inhale
​
"I am calm" as we exhale.

A useful and powerful reminder that these strong, steady and calm states of mind are ours at all times no matter what is going on around us, and can be summoned to the forefront through simple methods.

Please bring along your own mat or towel

Given the need to be proactive and sensible in our response to the current corona virus outbreak, I'm recommending that if possible, please bring along your own yoga mat or a towel to lay down over the yoga studio mat where your head will be placed.

Avoiding close contact sharing could be either over cautious, or helpful in inhibiting the spread of the virus so let's err on the side of caution.
 
It will also help you relax in your yoga practice and place your awareness more effectively.
 
Plus:
~ If you feel unwell, have a temperature or cough, please avoid coming to class. (We will ensure that any missed classes can be made up at a later date, we would rather you were cautious.)
~ Wash your hands before and after class.
~ Wipe down your mat when you get home.
 
We do clean the mats and the studio regularly and thoroughly and will be stepping up our efforts here. 
 
In the meantime, keep moving, keep breathing, keep calm and carry on.
