ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING COVID-19 - MARCH 15TH, 2020
Hello, friends.
I spent most of the weekend outside, immersed in nature, moving and thinking about this situation we are in right now. Although I still feel movement and community are a KEY part of our wellbeing, I also feel that during a pandemic, I need to be considerate of the movement WITHIN our community.
Of 100+ participants / clients I see weekly, many are 60+, many with compromised immune systems, many take care of elders (like my own mother who cares for my grandparents), MANY have recently travelled internationally. Many are first responders, have infants at home, and/or are pregnant. I can implement the best infectious control procedures; however, at this time, I really don't know if it's enough to protect our vulnerable populations.
So, it's with this uncertainty and with great sadness to share that our winter sessions are CANCELLED until further notice. In lieu of our live classes, I will be setting up some online options so that we can continue to move and build (an online) community together. This may take a day or two, but an email will be sent shortly. Don't worry, even though there were only 3 weeks left in this winter session, your missed classes will be CREDITED.
I'd like to thank everyone for understanding. I will deeply miss our and your face-to-face interactions (hello, ventral vagus!), but as an educated and respected Regulated Health Professional in Ontario, I do feel that this is the right decision for the health, safety, and well-being of our COMMUNITY.
Be moved, be well, be safe...and, as much as you can be, be respectfully social. Also, be OUTSIDE...the sun, fresh air, birds, etc are all so healing. X Sheena :)
