We welcome you to our yoga studio in a safe and responsible manner. In the studio we follow the precautions and protocols advised by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) and our branch organization Vereniging Yogascholen Nederland (VYSN). The health and safety of you, your fellow yogis, and our teachers will always be our first priority. Below you can find the guidelines and our list of precautions we would like you to follow when you come to the studio.
Please note: all our studio classes are livestreamed as well, so you can also follow the classes live online, for those who do not pass the Health Check to come to the studio (see below), or simply if you prefer online.
Subscription & Payment for the Classes

Studio Corona Precautions & Hygiene Measures
- Do not come to the studio when you feel sick, unwell, flu-ish or experience any (even the mildest) corona related complaints. We run a Healtch Check (PDF English / Dutch) with you beforehand. If you do not pass the Health Check you can then follow the class online. Should you become unwell or develop any corona related complaints during class, we ask you to leave class immediately and go home!
- We keep an appropriate (if needed 1.5 m) distance from each other in the studio. Each spot in the studio is marked with tape on the floor to indicate where to put your mat, there is 1.5 m in between the mats.
- We ventilate the studio with fresh air in between and during the classes.
- All General Hygiene Measures that apply to you in daily life also apply to you whilst in the studio:
- Sanitize your hands with (your own brought) disinfectant hand gel (> 70% alcohol) when entering the studio, before & after toilet visit, and when leaving the studio. And of course also after having used for instance paper tissues for blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. Hands can only be washed in the bathroom with water & soap, but toilet visits should be minimised.
- Do not shake hands or greet with hugs, a friendly nod will do or Namasté!
- Sneeze and cough in your elbow or paper tissue. Wash your yoga clothes when home.
- Use (your own brought) paper tissues to blow your nose, for coughing or sneezing, and dispose them after use. Sanitize your hands after.
- Avoid touching your face with your hands - specifically eyes, nose and mouth. Tip: use your underarm, scarf or tissue when you need to scratch or remove a hair!
Corona Precautions - BEFORE you go to the studio:
- Be practically fully dressed in your yoga clothes when going to the yoga studio. Take the minimum of stuff with you. You will have space next to your mat to leave a jacket or other (yoga) necessities, bring a bag for that. Please note in colder weather times, wear extra layers to keep you warm as the back door to the garden will be open a lot for extra ventilation of the studio with fresh air.
- Bring your own yoga mat and props (like block, belt, blanket) if you prefer, however you can also use the studio equipment (mat, block, belt, bolster). If you use the props in the studio we ask you to sanitize your hands before use and clean the mat after class with special disinfectant spray.
- Bring your own water bottle to the studio.
- Bring your own corona-safety-kit to the studio:
- Your own disinfectant hand gel (> 70% alcohol), and a small pack of tissues to apply the hygiene measures necessary in the studio (see above). For optimal hygiene and to avoid unnecessary walking through the studio we ask you to bring your own personal disinfectant hand gel to the studio and keep it with you next to your mat, so you can use it whenever you need it; when entering the studio, before & after toilet visit, when leaving the studio, and of course if you need it during class (after having used paper tissues for instance for blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing).
- A clean towel to dry your hands after you have washed them in the studio (e.g. after your toilet visit), or for other use (sweating). To keep the studio eco-friendly we want to avoid using paper towels.
- Use your bathroom at home before you go to the studio and after class, as toilet visits in the studio should be minimised. Of course when the need is high you can make use of the toilet but you will then be asked to follow the hygiene instructions around toilet visit.
- Wash your hands at home with water & soap before you go to the studio.
The Health Check (Triage) – when to refrain from the studio class/workshop/session
Below you find the list of questions we have to run with you before you can participate in a studio class/workshop/session. If one of the questions is answered with “yes”, it is not possible to come to the studio. We then invite you to join the class online instead. This Health Check applies for both students and teacher. If the teacher does not pass the Health Check, the class will be taught online as well! Hence next to the studio classes we advise you to have your online class option activated too. Here you can find the Health Check Poster (PDF) in English and in Dutch.
Questions for Health Check:
- Did you have one or more of these (even the mildest) complaints in the past 24 hours? A cough, increased temperature or fever, shortness of breath (benauwdheid), loss of taste and/or smell, or common cold complaints (verkoudheidsklachten) - like a nose cold (neusverkoudheid), runny nose (loopneus), sneezing, a sore throat.
- Do you currently have a housemate with mild complaints and a fever and/or shortness of breath (benauwdheidsklachten)?
- Have you had the new coronavirus and has this been diagnosed in the past 14 days (with a test)?
- Are you in quarantine (10 days) because you:
- are a housemate or close contact of someone who has been diagnosed with the new coronavirus?
- have travelled (back) from a COVID-19 high risk area (code orange/red)? (More info: www.wijsopreis.nl)
