Yes! We continue to deliver courses, but in-person training is paused until 1st March 2021. If your course is affected, you will be contacted directly by our team to advise of any revisions to your schedule.

After seeking guidance from the government and professional training schools, we have decided to pause in-person training until 1st March 2021. We believe that a short pause to in-person training will help to create a safer environment for everyone.

We have amended our schedules to minimise disruption to our courses, and we will continue with our provision of online yoga courses during this time.

YogaLondon is a vocational training school operating in covid-secure venues, which means that we remain open and deliver training in-person up to and including in tier 4 restrictions.

However, should you not feel comfortable traveling to London, the Live Stream or Deferral options will be available to you.

We are following best practices and government guidelines as they publish them. The current health and safety measures we have adopted include:

• Reduced maximum class size to ensure there is adequate spacing between yoga mats;
• Increased access to hand sanitation within the studios;
• Changes to the school syllabus, including no hands-on adjustments or other touching;
• No use of shared studio mats, blocks, blankets, straps, and any other communal equipment;
• No sharing of personal mats, blocks, blankets, straps, and any other personal equipment;
• Reduced access to communal facilities such as lockers, changing rooms, and showers in studios that have them;
• The use of face-masks in common areas but not during classes when distancing measures are in place;
• “Bubbles within bubbles” working together when required, always observing social distancing guidelines. This enables us to limit even further any close contacts between students;
• Access to classes via Live Stream to enable students who are shielding or self isolating to participate remotely;
• A clear policy encouraging anyone feeling unwell to stay home and self-isolate. Our free course transfer policy will still apply during this transitional period.

If you have any Covid-19 symptoms, you should stay at home to protect other students and teachers. The following options are open to you:

• Follow the class(es) on Live Stream, if you’re feeling well enough to do so. This would ensure you don’t fall behind, and your Course Leader will be able to answer any physical questions you may have when you’re next in the classroom.
• Rebook your class(es) for a later date, by using our deferral system. You have 1 year to rebook yourself into any missed classes, free-of-charge.

We have set up a Live Stream option for students who are unable to attend classes in-person. The aim of Live Stream is to enable students who are shielding, self-isolating or otherwise unable to attend in-person classes due to the pandemic to continue their studies uninterrupted. While there are some limitations on which classes can be completed in this way (see Limitations on Live Stream Access below), the aim is to minimise disruption to student’s learning and to give our students control over their learning environment.

As a school we firmly believe that in-person training is best. However we also trust our student’s judgement and their ability to discern whether in-person or online learning is best for them. We’re rolling out Live Stream options for most of our classes to enable this, but due to the physical nature of yoga teacher training, it is not possible to complete 100% of a 200-hour training via Live Stream classes. Specific classes have been designated in-person only and will not be available for Live Stream. Students will instead be able to rebook these classes for a later date, free of charge.
