Covid Protocol

Authentic COVID-19 Study - Research Shows Airborne Virus Viability Virtually Non Existent Within 3 Seconds @ 105 (40 C)/50% Humidity!

Our room temperature is approximately 105 F (40 C)/50% Humidity!!!! Another reason that GENUINE HEAT for 26/2 practice is the BEST!

In addition to our other comprehensive safety protocols, we also have added sanitation devices in every room that "Sanitize the Air while you are There" and that "sanitize within 3 feet of a 100 MPH sneeze"!

The study can be found here.

BREATHE SAFELY

CUTTING EDGE SURFACE & AIR QUALITY EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN INSTALLED THROUGHOUT THE STUDIO TO HELP REDUCE THE SPREAD OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE.

We have consulted with Dr.'s from Munson Hospital and followed guidelines from the CDC in order do our best at providing a smart and safe environment.

  1. In addition to Ozone Purifiers that are used after hours, we have added a 3rd layer of viral, bacterial, germ, mold, spore, sanitation occurring in the air, while you are present, that "sanitizes within 3 feet of a 100 mile an hour sneeze".
  2. The Lobby and Changing Rooms also utilize the same powerful purification devices that sanitize (virus, bacteria, germs, mold, spores) the air and surfaces.

We have your Safety, Enjoyment & health in mind above all else at The Original Hot Yoga.

 

WHY WE CHOSE THIS TYPE OF FLOORING.

We have a good reason for our choice in flooring. In a yoga studio that does not offer the Authentic Original Hot Yoga and Proper Temperature  (you should be soaking wet) they can get away with vinyl flooring because there is not much sweating going on.

We have attended some Authentic Original Hot Yoga Studios who have attempted this and the result was giant hazardous trails/pools of other peoples sweat traveling all over the room that you get to slip, fall, and slosh through with your bare feet after each class. Yikes!

Our specialized flooring prevents this and the little contact you have with the floor is isolated only to your footprint. Not only is there is minimum contact with the flooring, this way there is also zero contact with other peoples sweat! The specialized mats utilized during  class also prevent any sweat leakage.  This system has worked for over 2 decades and is absolutely sanitary. The floor dries very quickly and is manufactured for wet conditions. There is a high powered air & surface sanitizer engaged throughout the entire experience, the aforesaid along with regular maintenance make it super clean, efficient and effective.

How is the Mold, Mildew, MOISTURE Repelling YOGA ROOM Flooring maintained?

  1. A professional sanitizing machine is utilized regularly completely saturating the flooring with sanitizing solution. After treating the flooring with the solution, the machine then removes all the leftover solution and any soil.  
  2. Old Carpet flooring is Removed and Replaced Regularly with brand New Carpet.  We have utilized this floor refreshening method since we opened in 2005 & always will. 
  3. Why is this choice of flooring sanitary & safe?
  4. This is outdoor carpet for use on boats and patios.  It has NO PAD underneath & is virtually non-existent, at 1/16" thick. It is glued directly to concrete floor below and receives constant maintenance.
  5. OZONE* is used daily to completely sanitize the entire studio.  Ozone is proven to kill COVID-19.  We sanitize the studio with Ozone* after classes, maintain hand sanitizing/disinfecting stations throughout the school, along with routine deep cleaning with EPA-Certified Disinfectants.
  6. In addition to Ozone Purifiers that are used after hours, we have added a 3rd layer of viral, bacterial, germ, mold, spore, sanitation occurring in the air, while you are present, that "sanitizes within 3 feet of a 100 mile an hour sneeze".
  7. The Lobby and Changing Rooms also utilize the same powerful purification devices that sanitize (virus, bacteria, germs, mold, spores) the air and surfaces.
  8. We have added No-Touch Towel, Recycle, Trash Bins throughout studio.
  9. We utilize a HUGE fan to freshen up the room with outside air between classes.
  10. Sweat is your friend! Contrary to popular belief, sweat is actually sterile, and it is mostly salt, like the ocean! Sweat is antibacterial!
  11. Students use special odor/germ killing detergent* on their gear and leak proof mats* for every workout. (*Available for Purchase)
