Yoga Mamas will be fully reopen as of Friday July 31 including in-clinic wellness and in-studio movement. The Ontario government has allowed the City of Toronto to move into Stage 3 of reopening the province on Friday, July 31 at 12:01 a.m. This decision was made in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health and local medical officers of health.
OUR NEW STANDARDS OF SAFETY AT YOGA MAMAS
COVID-19 Health & Safety Protocols
Your health and safety is our highest priority. In addition to our already high standards for cleanliness we have implemented the following additional procedures:
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. Increased hand sanitizing stations throughout the clinic and studio and staff spaces. Cleaning times between classes have doubled to ensure safely cleaned & sanitized spaces for our clients
Disinfecting high-touch surfaces
All Yoga Mamas staff have completed specific cleaning & sanitation training. Every 30 minutes, our staff disinfect doorknobs, handles, rails, light switches, sanitizing stations, bathrooms, sinks, toilets, chairs, the front desk, keyboards, computers, and phones. All electronics and payment terminals will be disinfected between each use. Reception seating sanitized after each use.
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 masks during each shift.
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
COVID-19 Screening as defined by the Ministry of Health for all clients. 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 and Staff PPE
All staff will be wearing masks, with their temperatures taken upon arriving at work. All clients will be required to wear masks. {Masks can be removed during fitness classes}. Reusable masks are encouraged, however disposable masks will be provided to all clients upon their arrival if they do not have one. Gloves available upon request
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. Greatly reduced the number of in-studio classes to limit the number of clients and staff in the space.
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. Now only accepting cashless payment options.

Automatic Membership Pausing
We have paused all unlimited memberships with an open ended suspension until you are ready to return to your mat. No auto-renewal payments will be processed while memberships are paused.
Complimentary 10-Class Card Expiration Extensions
We have rolled out an automatic 3 MONTH complimentary extension to all 10 Class Cards allowing you more flexibility to enjoy your yoga practice with us.
Monitoring the situation and taking action
We're closely following updates on COVID-19, including guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local health officials. We'll continue to take actions necessary to help protect our community.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Take care of yourself. Practice self care, good nutrition and very importantly - practice good hygiene. Wash your hands frequently. Cover your nose and mouth if you have to sneeze or cough. And use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol content. If you’re sick, stay home and away from others. Finally, be kind. Exercise kindness and patience with yourself and with others. We are all navigating this uncertain time together.
HOW TO STAY INFORMED
We will be updating this page as we evolve our processes with the changing health climate. Public Health Ontario and the World Health Organization (WHO) are updating their sites with the latest information.
