24.01.2022 Message to students about COVID 19 - March 14 2020 We are all experiencing uncertainty, concern and fear for ourselves and each other as we are bombarded with information about the national and international impacts of COVID 19. We all benefit so much from our Yoga practice and I encourage you to keep practicing with me or at home at this time. Our practice can help to centre and ground us when our environment feels unstable.... My public classes will continue to operate (as per the term schedule) unless I let you know otherwise. My contracted classes will also continue unless facilities close or clients are unwell. It is important that we all take measures to minimise the risk of this virus to ourselves and each other. I am taking active measures to manage the spread of the virus by: *keeping myself well, continuing my own practice and increasing handwashing *minimising my exposure to constant messaging about the pandemic *reducing physical contact with students (aged care facilities) *not offering eye pillows in public classes *checking that students are well and providing current information about hygiene *keeping up to date with recommendations related to yoga teaching from reputable sources. I am asking that my students: *ensure that you are well enough to practice *stay home if you are unwell or think you may have been exposed to the virus *reduce the use of shared props in practice *bring your own mat and props and clean these regularly *increase handwashing and hygiene practices *stay up to date with current information. Please take care of yourself and each other and contact me if you need any support at this time. With metta... Robyn 0432 778 271

07.01.2022 Just taught my first yoga class via Zoom (a corporate client with staff working from their homes). It was great to be able to see my students, check in on how they are and offer guidance throughout their practice. These are challenging times but we are enabled through technology and our own agility. Take care everyone! xxx

04.01.2022 Message to Yoga Enlightenment students about COVID 19 and public yoga classes - March 23 2020 To my dear students As you are all aware we are moving in unprecedented times and we are all trying to make sense of what is happening in our local and broader environment.... In order to protect you all and to comply with recent Government directives and that of my professional body (Yoga Australia), I am making the difficult decision to close public classes until I receive further instructions that it is safe to bring people together to practice yoga. This means that remainder of term 1 classes at Weston Creek Community Centre will not operate: Core yoga - Monday - 30/3/20 and 6/4/20 in the hall from 6-7pm Gentle yoga - Wednesday - 25/3/20, 1/4/20 and 8/4/20 in the hall from 2.30-3.30pm Flow yoga - Thursday - 26/3/20, 2/4/20 and 9/4/20 in the hall from 6-7pm Chair yoga - Saturday - 28/3/20 and 4/4/20 in meeting room 1 from 9.30-10.30am I will provide further advice about term 2 classes. Your 5 and 10 class passes have no end date so as soon as classes resume, you can use your passes. Of course if you would like a refund for your active pass, please email me with a photo of your pass, how much you paid and supply me your bank account details (name, BSB and account number) so I can refund your payment. You will then need to destroy your pass. Please take care of yourself and each other and contact me if you need any support at this time. With metta... Robyn 0432 778 271
