Come practice with us at Groff Park!
As COVID-19 restrictions ease and vaccinations are on the rise, Yoga Center Amherst is returning to some in-person classes! Outdoor classes have resumed as of May 14th, 2021. Online classes will continue as well, and our teachers are continuing to do great work there so we encourage you to attend both online and in-person.
All outdoor classes are dependent on weather. If it is rainy or wet, the teacher will email all registered students and the class will be held online (except for Onatah’s new Thursday 8am class). For this reason, it’s really important to register ahead of time so you can stay updated. Outdoor classes will be marked on the schedule as “OUTDOOR” and will all take place at Groff Park.
COVID-19 Protocols for Outdoor Classes
The following guidelines have been developed following updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s latest guidance for outdoor gatherings. Updates as of April 27, 2021:
- Fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask outdoors, except in certain crowded settings and venues.
- Outdoor visits and activities pose minimal risk to fully vaccinated people themselves or to those around them.
Guidelines for YCA Classes:
- YCA warmly welcomes all people regardless of vaccination status
- All students and teachers are asked to maintain physical distance whenever possible
- If unvaccinated, please wear your mask when approaching the class and setting up your mat
- Yoga mats / stations will be set up with 6 feet of distance between each student and teacher
- Once at your mat, masks are optional
- All students and teachers are asked to maintain social distance, frequent handwashing/sanitizing, and refrain from sharing equipment
