YYOGA fam, Last week after the Province-wide restrictions by Public Health were put in place, we removed heated yoga from our offerings and received confirmation from senior health officers that we could reopen. The original order that stated spin classes, hot yoga and HIIT indoor group activity were to be temporarily suspended also stated that other activities could continue while updated guidelines were being developed.... Within the last 24 hours the BC Government’s website was unexpectedly updated. The order now directs all indoor group physical activities, including yoga and pilates, to temporarily suspend while these new guidelines are being developed. We have always, and will always, take our direction from public health officials to ensure your safety remains our top priority. In anticipation that this will be addressed in the provincial update tomorrow, we are taking precautions to suspend our schedule effective immediately. As soon as we receive new guidance, which we hope happens swiftly and with more clarity than we feel we’ve received to date, we will update our safety plan. Our primary goal is to keep you safe and we are prepared to adjust these protocols with any new requirements as necessary. We recognize that anytime we pause in-studio classes it affects you, and for that we are sorry. As we go digital-only for a little while, we’re building a schedule of virtual classes that we think you’ll love. You can remain confident that during any temporary closures, we will always: Pause or extend your membership or class pack Offer you virtual options through YYOGA at Home; this library now includes over 500 titles and daily live streams to tune into. Subscription is $12.99 CAD monthly or $119 CAD annually and we offer a 7 day free trial. Be there to support your virtual practice in our private group: YYOGA at Home fam. Thank you for your love and support. Once again, onward together, Carey YYOGA President

Reusable masks will be available for $13.95 + tax and disposable ones for $1. When our team interacts with you, they’ll also be wearing masks, as will our teachers (who will remove them to teach).

To our Toronto community, It’s taken us a little longer than we would have liked to share this update, but we needed to exhaust every possible option before sharing this with you. While the Ontario government has permitted a reopening, our Queen Street West location will be permanently closing effective immediately.... Our landlord has been supportive, however the difficult reality is, conducting business in the city of Toronto has become increasingly out of reach (our property taxes alone have gone up 215% in the last five years) and we have been unable to make the economics of a reopening work despite our collective best efforts. If you practiced in this space, we recognize the impact this has on you, and for that - we are deeply sorry. If you have an existing class pack or membership in Toronto, a member of our team will be in touch with you within the next week so that we can work together to find the best personalized solution. There is no need for you to take action at this time; please monitor your inbox for an email from us. A change this big is never easy. This certainly isn’t what we pictured and as a team and we are absolutely heartbroken. We are working on coordinating a virtual farewell practice; details coming soon. To read more about this update, please visit the link in our bio. Toronto, thank you for your courage, your resilience, and for giving us the privilege of witnessing your practice and feeling your energy inside our space. We’ll deeply miss you. With love, YYOGA Toronto Community Blog Update: https://yyoga.ca/blog/update-for-our-toronto-community

To our fam, As many of you are already aware, we have just received a government mandated order to temporarily close along with all B.C. yoga and fitness studios as of 10pm this evening until 12pm on November 23rd. Things you need to know:... Memberships will be paused for the duration of the closure. We will follow up with you in the coming days with more details as we work through this. In-studio classes as of 10pm tonight will be cancelled. Virtual classes have been and will continue to be an option through YYOGA at Home. More to come as we work to ensure you’re supported with plenty of virtual options. If you're a subscriber, please join us over in our private group (we have a WONDERFUL community there that will keep you going - YYOGA at Home fam). We’ll be working with our public health officers to ensure a reopening can happen as soon as possible. We know that our studios are safe havens for our members, and while this presents another challenge on a very difficult journey, we also know that as long as we remain supportive of each other and navigate this unfamiliar territory together, we’ll get through this. Now, more than ever, we need to check in on our mental health, and those of our loved ones, and put our energy not just into staying physically well, but mentally and emotionally well. We will be working hard to ensure you’re supported in doing so in whatever ways we can. Onward together, Carey YYOGA President

Dear YYOGA fam, Thank you to those who continue to work with us to maintain safe environments by respecting our safety protocols. We’re grateful to you and your relentless commitment to kindness even through such difficulty. Our protocols are based on what public health officials require in order to navigate this pandemic as safely as possible, and therefore they must be enforced for us to remain operational. ... If you need to brush up on our safety procedures, please view them at yyoga.ca/etiquette. They’re updated regularly as public health information evolves. Any guests who do not follow them will not be welcome in our studios as they’d be risking not only the health of our people and other guests, but the livelihood of our teachers and team should a closure be mandated in the future. We know this is a challenging time; we also know that we can get through it together. Your kindness and mutual respect is critical in creating a place in which all people, including our teams, feel safe and cared for. We’re working hard to continue being there for you. Thank you for being there for us. Thank you, YYOGA

The love we have for this community has been driving us. ----- Along the way, we’ve been faced with some difficult decisions to ensure the sustainability of YYOGA during a time that has brought unprecedented challenges. It’s time to now share the outcome of those decisions with you, some will be difficult and we understand that. Know that these have been made with heavy - but hopeful - hearts, and with the health of our entire community in mind. ----- What remains most important to us is that we continue to be a place of healing for all of you, continue to give back to our communities in whatever ways we can, and remain a source of income for those whom we employ. We believe that by making these tough decisions, this will be the case.

Dear YYOGA fam, We miss you so much. We also take our responsibility to your health and safety very seriously and have wanted to ensure we have the right plan and team in place to support a safe reopening.... Since the announcement of fitness centres being included in phase 2 of B.C.’s Restart Plan, we have been testing these plans and getting our teams prepared. We are reopening on June 15th with: - select B.C. studios (Downtown Flow, Kitsilano, Northshore and West Sixth) - reduced capacity and focused programming - increased cleaning - updated safety procedures - updated reservations, cancellations and waitlist policies Advanced bookings will be required and open for reservations on June 9th. We recognize that Ontario’s timing is different and can’t yet share what the re-opening plan will look like as we await further direction from the provincial government. The plan (see link below) outlines for you our standards of health and safety, as well as new procedures and policies that you need to know about before you come see us. It’s a lot of information, so know that we are here to help. Reach out to us anytime and we’re happy to answer any questions you may have. Can’t wait to practice alongside you, Carey YYOGA President Read more: https://yyoga.ca/bc/blog/reopening-update-1

*REOPENING UPDATE* . To our YYOGA fam, . Thank you for being the most amazing community.... . The temporary closure of our studios has been the toughest challenge our community has seen in 12 years. Your encouragement and kind words of support - even though you have been going through your own difficult times - has been incredibly powerful and meaningful for all of us. . It has given us the motivation to keep going. To keep fighting for this community, and to do everything we can to ensure you have safe spaces to come back to. . With both a studio reopening on the horizon and the continuation of our virtual classes top of mind, it’s necessary to understand from you what you’d like to see as part of the future of YYOGA. We’ll be sending a survey out early next week where your voice can be heard. . We’ve also been hard at work putting together a reopening plan. Because our top priority is the health and safety of our entire community and team, we will only be opening when we feel we have the right plan in place, and the right team members trained to execute it. . For B.C., we are currently preparing for some time in June; we recognize that Ontario’s timing may be different and will share news regarding our Toronto studios as soon as we can. . We expect to share a date soon. Please check out our website to read our full update; https://yyoga.ca/blog/reopening-update . Thank you again for your support, it means the world to us. . We love you and are thinking about you. . Hope to see you soon, . Carey YYOGA President See more
