general
Use of the Studio (in-person Yoga classes only)
Classes start promptly at the advertised times. Customers need to arrive at the Studio with enough time to change and enter the yoga studio five minutes before the class starts, in order to lay out mat and accessories and be settled in ready to start by the start time. Sign-ins will not be accepted with less than five minutes before class start time.
The studio door is shut 1min before class, you won't be able to attend if you arrive after this time.
On 1st February 2022 we simplified and eased our covid-secure processes slightly, to make it easier for all while maintaining a safe environment.
Before you come to class
1. Pre-bookings only, no drop-ins. In-person only classes will have a new maximum of 9 people at Midland (3 rows of 3) - still reduced from our pre-pandemic maximum of 16. Hybrid classes will still have a maximum of 6 people, to allow for the camera angle.
2. Don't come to class if you're experiencing any possible Covid symptoms, including cold-like symptoms associated with Omicron
3. If you test positive for Covid or are a contact with someone who does then we trust you will follow official guidance and won't come to class until all self isolation requirements are met: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/self-isolation-and-treatment/when-to-self-isolate-and-what-to-do/
4. We recommend you bring your own mat and any props you might want to use, although ours are now available for use again.
When you come to class
1. Our doors open 15 minutes before class starts, and we encourage you to arrive 10-15 minutes before to allow time to settle in. The doors will be locked a minute before the class starts, and we won't admit late arrivals in order to not disrupt the class.
2. Wash hands in our kitchen/toilets before coming into reception
3. Check your temperature in reception
4. Be mindful of your space as you move around reception and the studio
5. We recommend you wear a mask in reception and until you get settled on your mat. However, this is no longer a requirement from us.
6. Place your mat where indicated by the tape on the floor. Fill up the front spaces first, so people don't have to move past you to reach a spot and you can relax on your mat.
7. After class clean the area around your mat with the disinfectant spray and disposable towels provided. If you have used our mat and props then we ask you to wipe them as well.
After class
1. If you develop symptoms or a positive test result within 2 days of attending class we ask that you let us know at info@leytonyoga.com so we can let other people in the class know that they might have been a contact (your anonymity will be kept)
Attending online live-streamed classes
Each person attending an online class is to have registered a profile with Leyton Yoga and have booked and purchased a valid pass for that class. This also applies to multiple attendees from a single household.
Classes start promptly at the advertised times. We ask you to arrive 5-10mins before the class starts, to have time to check your video and audio, and for the teacher to sign you into class. If you arrive after the class start time you might not be let into the class and will be late cancelled. The link to attend the Zoom meeting will be included in your booking confirmation and reminder emails*. Check your spam folder if it hasn't arrived and mark the email or sender as not spam so it arrives in your inbox next time. Once you follow the link you might be requested to register before gaining entry to the online class. Please keep yourself on mute while the class is running, unless you have important questions. Technical advice for joining these online classes is available here or by emailing us at info@leytonyoga.com.
*You need to ensure you have opted-in to receive Schedule Updates in order to be sent these emails - you can ensure this is the case by reviewing Communication Preferences under Account Information after logging in to your account.

Variation in teachers, classes and pricing
When you are purchasing a class you are paying for a class and not a specific teacher. Teachers are subject to change without notice.
Class fees may be changed by Leyton Yoga Ltd at any time.
Details of class times at the studio may vary from time to time. Classes will be published on our website via the Mindbody booking tool. It is very unusual for a class to be cancelled, however if we do cancel a class then you’ll receive a notification via the Mindbody booking tool (if you booked online). If you don’t book online then we recommend you check the schedule before travelling to the studio to be sure the class is still scheduled.
Personal Belongings
Neither Leyton Yoga Ltd, nor its owners, instructors, teachers, employees and independent contractors are responsible for loss or damage to a customer’s personal belongings.
Personal belongings left at the studio will be kept in a lost property box for up to one month, after which they will be disposed of appropriately e.g. given to charity. Water bottles left at the studio will be placed above the kitchen cupboard (which is open access) for up to one month.
Bicycles are to be left at street level and are not permitted on any part of the premises.
Medical
Customers are responsible for their own health, and if in doubt about whether they should attend a Yoga class you should consult with your doctor or medical specialist.
Customers must notify the Studio of any circumstances affecting their health, which may be put at risk by doing Yoga.
In registering with and attending Leyton Yoga, the customer agrees the following waiver:
I understand that classes with Leyton Yoga may be physically strenuous and I voluntarily participate in them with the full knowledge that there are risks of personal injury. I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in Leyton Yoga classes. If I am pregnant I understand that I participate fully at my own risk and that of my unborn child/children. I agree that at all times, I am wholly responsible for my baby in all Mum & Baby classes. Where permissible by law, I voluntarily and expressly waive any claim I may have against Leyton Yoga, its owners, instructors, teachers, employees and independent contractors, for any injury or damages that I may sustain as a result of participating in yoga programs. Where permissible by law, I, my heirs and legal representatives, forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue Leyton Yoga for any claim not limited to but including personal injury, property loss, mental suffering, or wrongful death, whether caused by negligence or other acts. It is in the terms and conditions for using any Leyton Yoga services that any complaints, claims or issues will be subject to UK law. I WILL DISCUSS WITH MY TEACHER ANY AND ALL RELEVANT MEDICAL HISTORY OR RECENT INJURIES BEFORE EVERY CLASS.
