<> Well... this news has taken us by surprise but released just yesterday by the BC CDC... "Indoor group low intensity exercise may resume with an updated covid-19 safety plan in accordance with the measures provided below"... We will be offering yoga in our studio again, all mats will remain 6 feet apart and the instructor will remain in the 2.5m x 2.5m instructor area. Masks are required to enter/leave the studio but not required during the practice as per the CDC guidelines. For those of you wanting to stay home to practice we will be resuming Zoom classes next week due to needing to upgrade our internet speed! Sign up for a class via our schedule on the website www.ssiwellness.com, you will have the option to book Zoom or in person classes. This is a soft reopening prior to Christmas and we are looking forward to adding more classes back to the schedule in the new year. "Regular exercise is important for promoting and maintaining physical and mental health. Benefits include prevention of the onset of chronic disease, promotion of positive mental health and cognitive, and reduction of social isolation." - BC CDC ministry of Health guidelines Love & Light Jaya and The Wellness Team

Jaya will be subbing Yin flow this Wednesday @530pm. In yin we target deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It’s slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Because you’re holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in other traditional types of yoga, yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.

New Evening Yin Yoga on Wednesdays with Kali Navada starts September 30th @530 pm

New community acupuncture schedule, Wednesdays 11-3. Still offered at sliding scale $25-$50, direct billing with MSP!New community acupuncture schedule, Wednesdays 11-3. Still offered at sliding scale $25-$50, direct billing with MSP!

Dear Wellness Community; We want to thank you for your ongoing support over the last few years. It continues to be a pleasure for our team to offer integrative health to this island community. This has been a challenging few weeks for the island and even more so globally. Our updates continue to change as we monitor the situation and adapt in a way that we feel serves this community. So in light of extremely reduced demand and in order to maintain the financial viability of... this business in the community long term we have closed. We will no longer be offering any classes at this time. Effective immediately we will suspend all unlimited yoga memberships until the centre reopens. We will offer video classes for home practice, please see our website for a link. We humbly ask you to strongly consider keeping your membership to support the viability of our business. Mortgage payments, hydro, taxes, insurance are just a few of the fixed costs that we ask you help us pay. With many members making this small monthly contribution will help us weather this difficult time. Sincere gratitude to all our members that make this centre what it is, Please stay healthy, stay peaceful, we are in this together Love Jaya, and the Wellness Team

Our response to COVID -19 First, we are so very grateful for your continued support of our small business and space during these constantly changing and challenging times. For the time being we will remain open and will continue to ensure that cleanliness and your health be our top priorities. ... 1. We have increased our cleaning and disinfecting. This includes all handles, levers, door knobs, bars, the front desk, toilets etc to name a few. 2. We are changing our towels several times a day and encourage you to use the single use wipes if youd prefer. 3. We encourage you to bring you own yoga mat, or purchase one, rather than using the studio provided mats. 4. We encourage you to wipe surfaces that you have used with our commercial grade disinfectant. 5. We are providing single use nitrile gloves in the gym to help stop the spread if germs. 6. We are committed to keeping the hand sanitizer and antibacterial soaps fully stocked as suppliers of these suddenly precious items permit. 7. We will be offering private acupuncture appointments in our treatment rooms for the same price as our community space when available 8. We are working on a live-stream yoga schedule that will give all members access to live and archived videos of yoga classes from your favorite teachers from the comfort of your own home. We want our members to feel confident that we are taking all measures to be as efficient and thorough as possible for your health and safety. Joint Action: 1. Please wash your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds. 2. Maintain physical distance whenever possible in yoga mat placement maintaining a one meter distance. 3. If you have any symptoms such as coughing, fever etc. please seek medical attention as soon as possible and refrain from attending classes. Building a strong immune system is perhaps your best defense to this virus that will be present in our culture for the next few months if not longer. Staying active in yoga and fitness, a healthy diet, and some community acupuncture is perhaps one of the best preemptive measures to be taken. We are a small business, supported by hard working families and we depend on your continued support during these times. Please consider purchasing gift cards, to be used in the future and keep supporting the operation of this business. Thank you
