Although I am very happy to see you live at last, we still need to stay alert due to corona virus. There is plan in place put by Studio 22, please see below:
We would like to consider all the risks:-
- Social distancing
- Cross contamination
- Ventilation
Solutions :-
1. Social distancing:
– To overcome crowding, the Studio will be open 15 minutes before classes
– Please maintain social distancing on the stairs
– Please do not enter the changing room if there are already 4 people in there. We feel confident 4 people could be in the changing room at any one time and be 2 metres apart . Please remember there are coat hooks to the rear of the island. Please do not use the lockers during this period
– When entering the main studio please begin to fill the mats up from the back of the room. The mats are strategically placed 2 metres apart. They will be sanitised after each class. I would encourage you to bring your own mat and place it on the top of the studio mat.
– If you are having a little chat before class please can you stay on your mat
– To reduce further contact – payment in advance is the best solution. I attached links to tickets, however if you wish, you can avoid charges paying directly to my account.
4-week payment has reduced price. Each class is £7, if you buy 4 weeks it will be £25. Price is reduced due to loyalty cards not being accepted at the moment. Contactless payments are also available before the class, there will be additional 20p charge for using the card £7.20, however advanced payments are preferable. Please text Anna before making the payment to book your space 07821417634. If you over book through Eventbrite website I will not be able to process refund for the fees.
– Spaces are limited to 12 – Please text Anna before making the payment to book your space 07821417634.

new student questionnaire 3
– Entrance Etiquette and Common Sense are Key
2.Cross contamination:
– With sterilisation of hands, could we ask you to sterilise yourself at your car before coming into the building
– The front door can be opened with your shoulder or bum – to avoid touching where other people may have had contact with their hands
– Toilets will be sanitised before and after each class, please use them only when really necessary
– The toilets have been fitted with hand driers – which automatically activate (no contact)
– The upstairs door to the Studio will be open for through flow of air – this is a Fire Door – however a special mechanism has been fitted to ensure safety at all times – it will automatically close if there were a fire
– Blocks and bricks will be available by each mat – these also will have been sanitised, however I would encourage you to bring your own. I will also try to design practices to not use them. If you do use the equipment please can you leave them on the mats so we can sanitise them – the reason is to maintain 2 metre distancing when retrieving and returning equipment
– Bolsters, being fabric, are not allowed to be used
3.Ventilation
We are so fortunate at Studio 22 to have a large, airy space with a high ceiling. There is no air conditioning unit that could contaminate the air and plenty of windows to open for fresh air.
ONLINE Relaxation and Mindfulness in practice
For the next few weeks, we will explore:
– science behind happiness
– misconceptions of the mind about happiness
– how can we train our brain to be happy
In this course you will engage in a series of practises designed to increase your own happiness and build more productive habits. As preparation for these tasks, will talk about misconceptions about happiness, annoying features of the mind that lead us to think the way we do, and the research that can help us change.
Skills you will learn:
meditation, relaxation, gratitude, savouring
If you close your eyes and observe your mind for a moment you will notice that most of the time, we think about something what already has happened (past) or something has not happened yet (future). And very rarely we become aware of the present moment. And present moment is where all the miracles of every day happen. Mindfulness and meditation practices teach us how to train your brain to stay in a present moment for longer. By purchasing the ticket, your email will be added to mailing list, which you can always unsubscribe from.
