Dear Beautiful Staff, This page is continually updated as we elevate and evolve our in-clinic processes with the changing health climate and government guidance. Yoga Mamas has created protocols, trainings and manuals to guide our slow re-opening and new operations. These are in place to protect you and our clients. It is important you follow these protocols and hold each other accountable. Below you will find the various steps all staff are required and suggested to take before, during and after each work shift. For reference {and confidence in Yoga Mamas creating a safe work environment} we encourage you to review our POST-PANDEMIC BUSINESS guide that was created by Manager of Wellness Megan Macintosh. Great consideration and care has been executed in preparation of our re-opening. This document guides us every day and is being constantly updated {last update June 2, 2020}. Thank you Jamie |

OUR NEW STANDARDS OF SAFETY AT YOGA MAMAS
Top-grade disinfectant & more frequent cleaning
Staff use a HEALTH CANADA AUTHORIZED disinfectant in all treatment rooms and common areas before and after each client appointment.
Disinfecting high-touch surfaces
Every 30 minutes, our staff disinfect doorknobs, handles, rails, light switches, sanitizing stations, bathrooms, sinks, toilets, chairs, the front desk, keyboards, computers, and phones.
Physical Barriers
Plexiglass barriers have been installed at the front desk creating a safe separation between staff and clients.
Staff PPE
Staff are required to wear gloves and masks during each shift. After deep cleaning, they’ll wash their hands before refreshing gloves and masks as needed.
Staff Screening
Every staff member will have their temperature checked before their shift. Thorough screening for symptoms of COVID-19 must be completed prior to each shift, including travel information. Staff must confirm they have not travelled outside of Ontario in the last 14 days.
Client Screening
Every client will be emailed a thorough screening for symptoms of COVID-19 that must be completed prior to each visit, including travel information. Clients must confirm they have not travelled outside of Ontario in the last 14 days.
Client PPE
Disposable gloves and masks will be provided to all clients upon their arrival.
6ft Social Distancing Practices
Our clinic has been re-arranged to allow more space between clients and staff. Additionally we have expanded our wellness rooms to our top floor to allow for even greater space and ease in our appointments. To help, floor markers will indicate a safe distance throughout the clinic.
Hand Sanitizer
HEALTH CANADA AUTHORIZED hand sanitizer is widely available throughout the clinic including at front entrance, desk and each wellness room.
Retail Boutique
Our retail collection will still be available, but we ask that you avoid touching items as much as possible.
