We have so much to catch up on...
Greetings!
Wow!!! It's only been 3 weeks since our last email and we have so much to update you with. Three weeks ago we were getting ready to re-open operating under the Yellow level (33% capacity in Bernalillo County.) It appears, just a quickly as things shut down, they seem to be reopening back up. This has been an incredibly challenging time for us business owners and the communities we serve. The minute we adjust to one update another one is introduced. I can't think of a better time to invest in ourselves by practicing yoga to help us acclimate to all this change. Here at Mi Vida we will create space for you no matter where you are on the spectrum in this journey back into the new normal. We will continue to offer our online format of classes for those of you who have found a comfortable home practice. We will continue to expand our in-person classes both in-studio and at the park. Please read below to see all the upgrades we have done to the studio and protocols in place to help keep us all healthy. Please feel free to reach out to me personally if you have any questions or concerns. For those of you who have reached out last week I will be responding to your emails this week. Thank you for your patience during this extremely challenging time.


With Gratitude Always,
Heather Smelser and MVY Staff
New Studio Upgrades
Sometimes we have no idea what the universe has in-store for us. Some days things seem like they are falling apart when actually they are falling into just the right place. Three days before our anticipated open date of May 1st, I arrived to the studio to find the main studio flooded. We had just finished updating the electrical and lighting, paint, and flooring from a previous flood that happened during spring break. Long story short, we have manifested a brand new Hot Room from top (roof) to bottom (flooring). We have beautiful waterproof flooring now as well as updated lighting. We also have a fresh clean slate on the walls ready for new artwork representing our journey forward. As a result of the flooding we had a delay with the website. I am happy to announce that the website 3.0 is ready for you to use and it offers a much more user friendly experience. We can't wait for you to see the all new studio, updated lobby and retail as well. Book your next class now and see your updated home away from home studio.

Updated health order

Last Friday the Governor of New Mexico updated the new guidelines following CDC recommendations for our state. We will be following these standards as we have been doing during the last year. Effective Monday May 17th:

  1. Anyone who is fully vaccinated can choose not to wear a mask in the studio lobby and during classes.
  2. Anybody that is NOT fully vaccinated must continue to wear a mask, including our instructors and staff.
  3. If you have had COVID and are not fully vaccinated, you must continue to wear a mask. Having had the virus is not the same as having been fully vaccinated.
  4. We will continue to socially distance in the studio and keep our daily sanitizing procedures in place.
  5. Please read the article below to see all the safety measures we have in place to keep you healthy.

What we're doing to help keep you healthy
Social Distancing

The studio floor is marked with spaces 6+ feet between each student.
Air Purifier

2 medical grade HEPA air purifiers are used to keep the studio air clean. Every 15 minutes the room's air is fully cleaned of bacteria and viruses.

Community Yoga to begin in June
Here at Mi Vida Yoga we believe Yoga is medicine. It is an important part of our mission statement that we make Yoga accessible to everyone in our commUNITY. We understand that sometimes COST, or LOCATION, or TIME might be a deterrent when trying to access yoga. In order to realize our mission and make yoga accessible to ALL, we plan to bring back our extremely popular Community Yoga class once we reopen. This class is free of charge to our community, and will be taught by a rotation of instructors each week. We also have scholarship opportunities for WORKSHOPS, MEMBERSHIPS/CLASSES and YOGA TEACHER TRAININGS, as well as Video On-Demand Library access. If you know of someone who need a little help accessing yoga, or would like to sponsor a yogi in our community, contact Heather at heather@mividayoganm.com
