Empower Yoga Studio Update

Studio Update

(March 15th, 2020)

During this challenging time we are faced with tough decisions. At a time when many of us need yoga more than ever, we continue to offer classes at both studios and are looking to add online/live-stream classes as an option for our community in the coming days. 

We continue to closely monitor the CDC and the Massachusetts Department of Health guidance and if we decide to make any additional changes beyond the measures we are currently taking, we will communicate those changes to you. 

In addition to the enhanced cleaning and safety measures we have already implemented (detailed below in update from March 13th), we are taking these additional precautions effective immediately:

*All props for classes (blocks, straps) will be removed from the studios. If you like to practice with these items, please bring your own. We will have blocks and straps available for purchase at the studios by the end of the week or you may want to consider purchasing online

*Inferno Hot Pilates & Core Fusion classes will be taught without weights and bands. 

*Rental Mats & Towels will no longer be available at the studio. Please bring your own mat and towels. Mats and full-size yoga towels are available for purchase at both studios. Hand towels are also available for purchase for $2.

*All classes are capped at a maximum of 25 people (less than half capacity) which allows for 3 feet between mats. Please sign up in-advance for prime-time classes to be assured space. 

* Please consider attending classes at off peak hours.

*We ask that you spread out when you set up, using all three rows at Empower. Please allow plenty of space between you and your neighbor, on each side as well as in front and behind you. 

*We are working to add online classes through Vimeo or Zoom as an option for those who wish to practice at home. We are trying to get this implemented ASAP but this is new territory for us. If any members of our beloved yoga community have experience in this realm and could help us, we invite you to reach out. 

*Classes at Empower on Sunday, March 15th will be at the discounted rate of $10. We encourage you to sign up in-advance to assure your spot in the class as all classes are capped at 25 people.  Specials will be available online.

We urge you all to carry on with an abundance of caution, as well as kindness and compassion. We will get through this, together, with the support, encouragement, and strength of our special Empower and Solstice community.

We thank you for your continued  support,  patience and understanding during this time and wish you all peace, strength and love.
