Old News......
a note from Kate on current Covid protocols
The truth is there is not much new for me to share because unlike many other places, we never really dropped our protocols. Since we re-opened after the initial shut-down in the spring of 2020, we've still been operating in the safest ways we felt like we could manage. When things seemed to lighten up after the inital waves of vaccines in the spring of 2021, we kept our Covid protocols IN-PLACE. So we've been operating for the last 14 months (before and after vaccine options were available) with the same protocols. I want to reiterate for you what we are doing and what we are not doing so you can make the right choices concerning your practice here at Shine with us.

  • First and foremost is your safety and respect for your class mates. Unfortunately there are break-through Covid cases documented and although the vaccines make the world safer for all of us, those who have been vaccinated can still carry and pass Covid. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION THAT YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO OR CONTRACTED COVID, YOU SHOULD NOT COME INTO THE STUDIO UNTIL THAT DOUBT HAS CLEARED THROUGH PROPER TESTING AND QUARANTINE AS OUTLINED BY THE CDC.
  • We have kept our class sizes STRICTLY reduced. We are still only allowing class sizes of about 12. (Wendy's Tuesday class allows for just a few more and some classes are capped at 8 or 10.) There is a two-person wait list for most classes so that if there is a cancellation you will be notified by email that we have room for you.
  • Because of our class size limit, you will have MORE THAN 6 FT. of distance between yourself and your class mates.
  • For this reason, and for the ease of contact tracing if necessary, pre-registration is still required.
  • We have not resumed our children's or baby & me classes.
  • Fortunately we have our own fresh air exchange and run the hepa filter before and after classes.
  • Alcohol and wipes are always present for your use.
  • At this time, I am not asking the teachers to check vaccine cards but what I can tell you is that throughout the last year, the majority of the students - if not every single one - in my classes, has come in bragging and celebrating their vaccine. This is a rich vaccine environment. Respect for your fellow students is what is expected here at Shine.
  • Although the mask mandates have been lifted, everyone should feel comfortable to wear their masks into and out of the studio and during class if you prefer.
  • As we do share a building with a pediatric office, I would encourage mask wearing into and out of the building.


I think that should cover everything for now. I do not take the role of setting protocol lightly. Safety and health have ALWAYS been a major concern of mine and my interest in the health-field is one of the major reasons I am a yoga teacher. I continue to watch the latest data and advice of experts in the field as I navigate the responsibility of taking care of the well-being of our Shine community. I hope you are all taking good care and making the most of this unique time in our lives. With love, Kate

*All classes now require pre-registration so it's important that you know how our class passes are working and that you can access your Shine MindBody account which allows you to schedule & pay. Scroll down for a refresher of how the system works if you need it.
Don't forget to check the MindBody scheduler before you head out for class!
While it does feel like many of us are settling into a healthier rhythm, things can still change quickly here around the studio. Please always remember to register for your classes and check that your class is running as scheduled before heading over to the studio.
In-Person Class Information
It's been heart warming to be able to welcome students back into conscious in-person practices this week. Here's what you need to know and do if you would like to return to in-person classes.

  • You MUST pre-register for classes. We are not accepting drop-ins to classes at this time. As of May 2021, class sizes are now limited to a range of 8 - 12. There may be a waitlist. If you are added from the waitlist to the class registrar, you will receive an email notice. Click the link about to take yourself through the registration process.
  • Always check the schedule before you come to class. It is still possible that we will need to cancel classes last minute. Make sure you check the MindBody scheduler before you head out to class.
  • We have new waivers and registration forms that must be collected before you practice in person. You can click here, or on our shineyoga.com website, to download from home and then bring the completed waiver with you. We will also have them to fill it out at the studio. The new waiver releases us from liability from the potential to contract illness at the studio and releases your rights to recordings. Many of our classes are still live-streamed at this time. For the most part, you will be positioned off camera unless you would like to be the live stream model of the day.
  • Please do not come to the studio if there IS ANY CHANCE that you may have been infected or have been in proximity with anyone who has been sick.
  • See all the other new protocols at the top of this newsletter.

IMPORTANT ~ Passes for In-Person and Live-Streaming Run Through Different Systems...
Our Virtual Offerings Have Expanded

Live streaming seems to be going well for many of you with some small kinks still to work out for others. Don't forget that in addition to our new live-streaming and on-demand classes you may still access our reciprocity videos on YouTube. Take what you need / give what you can. Classes are still free on YouTube and we continue to accept donations. Click here for more info about our pre-corded classes & donation portals. Visit our "Shine Yoga Collective" YouTube to access pre-recorded classes.


Here's how to join us for Live-Streaming:

  • Make sure that you can sign in to your MindBody account or create a new account which can be merged later. You'll want to have the email you use to register for class and your Shine MindBody password handy when you sign-in for your live stream.
  • From Shine's MindBody portal, go to "classes" and click the "sign-up" link next to the classes you want to take.
  • You will receive an email from "MindBody" with a link to take you to the class 30 minutes before the class. You'll need to be on the look out for the email as it may end up in your junk mail.
  • As long as you are registered but don't receive, or can't find the email link, you can also log-in to www.mindbody.io. (You may need to update your password to gain access to this site.) On the mind body.io site, you can view your "schedule" from the drop-down menu on the top right and access the class from there.
  • The Live Streaming system works better on some systems and not at all on others. Click this link for more info about having success on the Live Streaming portal. I've also included an image at the bottom that gives a quick overview of what browsers and systems work best together. In general, Chrome seems to work best from desktop computers and "Safari" tends to work best on mac mobile devices.
  • If you need help with anything, please email us. We want to support you and know that tech can be quite intimidating. Maybe we can all use this time to get more fluent in the digital world with hopes of opportunities for human connection soon returning.

Want to practice on your own time and in your own space? Join us for Shine On-Demand. We have a full and evolving library of classes.
