Taking your spot & doing the class:

We recommend that you wear your socks to cross the floor to your spot.
Fill the spots furthest from the front door first so others don’t need to move past you.

Change room lockers are closed. Keep all your belongings in your tote bag and place it next to your mat.
Wearing a mask during your class is optional
