COVID-19 & Radiant Sol
It's chaos out there right now. It's a little scary, it's a little unknown.
We need to be aware, cautionary and supportive of each other.
Just as we were when the bushfires struck the country.
Deep breath in.
Deep breath out.
As a public place, Radiant has always had the health of our staff and the cleanliness of the studio as a top priority. As we move into this next phase of COVID-19, we want to be more transparent about what we do on the regular, what we're doing in addition, and what you can do to ensure that we can continue to practice yoga. You'll find this below.
With all this said, it's currently business as usual at Radiant and it is safe to continue to go about your regular practice at the studio.
Radiant is a community. A safe space. A supportive space. Let's continue to be cool, calm but rationale. Leave what we need to at the door and respect every person that comes in.
First and foremost, if you are experiencing any signs of COVID-19, please do not visit Radiant Sol for 14 days. See the DHHS Self Assessment for Radiant Sol here.
What we do on the regular
-
We have a team of staff who clean the studio and mats, after each set of classes. That's 3-4 times a day.
-
We clean the studio/bathrooms/devises on a deeper level at least twice a week.
-
We thoroughly clean props each month.
-
If teaching or support staff are not feeling well, we arrange a cover, even as a preventative. It's never worth running the risk with these things.
-
We always have hand sanitiser at reception.
-
Rotation of mat cleaning towels 3-4 times per week.
-
Tissues are always available.
What we're doing in addition
-
Deeper cleans of all surfaces, switches, banisters, lockers and keys, 3-4 times a day with 70% alcohol disinfectant.
-
No touching, that means no assists, no hugs, no need to touch. Hands to self.
-
Hand sanitiser stations are now placed around the studio. These are homemade by Danielle, containing 70% alcohol disinfectant with essential oils. Currently with make-shift labels, but they're legit, more legit than other store-bought stuff. That alcohol is what you want!
-
Cleaning props more frequently with 70% alocohol disinfectant along with our standard cleaning products which always contains Fatty Alchohol Ethoxylates and Hydrogen Peroxide.
-
Heavier rotation of mat cleaning towels 5-6 times per week.
-
Creating more space between mats - this means we have a lower max capacity and will not accept overflow in our classes for the time being. If you have not booked in and there is no space, you will be asked to leave.
-
No smoke, no candles, sage or Palo Santo, things that may encourage coughing for those allergic or sensitive to hayfever.
-
An extra mat cleaning station coming soon.
What you can be doing

If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and have attended Radiant over the last few weeks, please contact Radiant urgently:
Contingency plans are prepared should the studio need to close, or should you be in self-quaratine. If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to reach out.
If you need to pause your membership, or have your Flexi Passes extended when the time comes, please touch base. Of course, we're happy to help here.
