Recently I have become aware of yoga teachers who are choosing not to be vaccinated and are still teaching in person, and not disclosing their vaccine status to others. While I do not judge others for their personal choice to vaccinate or not, I do feel we have a duty of care to be open and transparent about our vaccine status to those we come into contact with. With gyms and yoga studios now requiring clients to show proof of vaccination, I feel it is the right and ethical t...hing for yoga teachers and studio owners (who are not required to vaccinate) to disclose their vaccination status to clients. This empowers others to make informed choices. As part of my commitment to care for my community, I am openly sharing that I (and my whole family) are double-vaccinated. I will always follow public health guidance as we move forward together in uncertain times. This means being open and transparent about my vaccination status (even though yoga teachers are not required to disclose this to teach in person), following guidelines for social distancing and masking, and taking care not to teach if I am experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19. Stay safe friends.

Happy holidays

The BC Government has suspended in person yoga classes for the time being. Locals, if you or someone you know would like to practice and are looking to create a cozy space in your home, I have stocked up on yoga props. The online Prop Shop is open with contactless pick up available from my front step. https://www.arbutusyoga.ca/propshop Stay safe and see you online for classes!

Monday Bone Health Clinic focused on balance this week. For the next few weeks we will continue to focus on practices that support and strengthen balance both on and off the mat. This 45 minute Monday morning class is a great way to start your week! www.ajnayoga.ca
