Please note the following hygiene and physical measures that will be implemented in the Space. We’ll be heavily reliant on your compliance for these measures to be effective in maintaining your safety.
Together, we will find a rhythm with our own collective behaviour that ensures we follow best practice in keeping ourselves and other safe, focusing on hygiene around the flow of people in and out of the building.
We’re extremely lucky that we have three front doors to the building and two separate studio spaces which allows us to operate a strict & safe protocol for usage.
Entering the Building:
• Please refer to floor plan map as a visual reference for doorways, entry points and flow throughout the building
• Each door has a circular sticker clearly stating which studio door it represents eg Studio Here or Studio Now
• Doors will be open where possible, to allow you to enter freely and without having to touch anything.
• We will not be operating normal waiting areas while this is ongoing.
• We encourage you to come 10 mins before or on time to class and enter the building safely.
• Unfortunately, you cannot come earlier than above to keep the number of people in the Space at the safest level.
• Please maintain social distancing upon entering and moving around the Space.
• When waiting outside of the Space, please also maintain distance until it is your turn to enter
