Classes By Appointment Only

Dear Beloved Yogis, 

We wanted to give you an update on Inscape Yoga as we move forward.  First, we wanted to thank everyone for their continued support during these trying times, and want you all to know that we’re here for you if we can do anything to help you and your loved ones!
• I have used the down-time that resulted from the pandemic to complete my 500 hour yoga certification (RYT 500) courses through Asheville Yoga Center.  
o In order to complete the requirements for certification, as a last step, I am required to do a community “Karma” project.  As a result, classes in August will be at no charge, as a service to the community during the on-going pandemic.  I will give credit for those students who have paid in advance for the month of August.  
• We have started doing private and semi-private lessons in the studio with a maximum of four students in the studio at one time.  Classes are by appointment only.  Classes are by appointment only.  You can book your class online under the "Classes" tab for myself or Becky Gilmore.  Feel free to bring a friend(s), family member(s), or significant other as long as the four person limit is maintained.
• Also as a service to the community, starting in September, we will be keeping our class prices the same - $10 per student / per class. You can also purchase a 10 class pass for $90.  It will not expire and you can share your pass with family and friends.  

• Bring your own props – mats, blankets, blocks, straps, bolsters, etc.
• You must have a mask on when entering the studio.  
o While supplies last, we have a machine-washable two-ply mask with adjustable straps that we are providing free to our students and teachers, also as a service to our community.
o You can take your mask off during your practice, but it is recommended to keep it at least covering your mouth to catch any sneezes or coughs.
o Please wear your mask at any time when off your mat.
• All disinfecting protocols are being followed at the studio after every class.
o Hand sanitizer is available at the front desk, and soap is available in the rest room.
o Disinfectant wipes are available in the studio.

I hope to see you on your mat soon! 

Sending love to all of you,

Missy Jones

We Care About Your Health!

 Dear Friends,


We wanted to share with you the measures we are taking at Inscape Yoga Studio to protect health, and address the novel coronavirus COVID-19:


  • We are disinfecting all floor surfaces twice daily, and all door handles and frames, and all bathroom surfaces after each class.  
    • Our studio floor surface is an “aquaseal” laminate that is highly water resistant and easy  to clean and disinfect.
  • We have installed a premium 3M MERV 12 HEPA filter in the ventilation system and will run the fan during classes to keep air moving through it. 
    • More information on HEPA filters / coronavirus can be found here:  https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/can-air-purifiers-filter-out-the-coronavirus/ 
  • Each cubby cube has a  removable vinyl liner that will be disinfected after each class.
    • The cubes were designed to have a minimal surface area for ease of cleaning.
  • Hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, and tissues are available for everyone, in addition to disinfectant soap in the rest room.  
  • All communal props have been removed from the studio for the time being.  If you need a mat, we can provide one, and will gather it to be disinfected after class.


Steps you can take to boost your immune system:

  • Practice Yoga!  Studies have shown that a regular yoga practice helps strengthen the immune system.
  • Eat Healthy!  Our gut compromises almost 70% of our immune system and roughly 80% of plasma  cells (mainly  immunoglobulin A (IgA)-bearing cells) reside there.  Immunity boosting foods and spices:
    • Yogurt – look for “live and active cultures” on the label
    • Citris fruits – get  your vitamin C!
    • Red bell peppers –  twice as much vitamin C as citrus, ounce for ounce, and also rich in  beta-carotene
    • Broccoli – cook as little as possible to retain nutrients
    • Garlic
    • Ginger
    • Spinach – raw or lightly cooked
    • Almonds
    • Green tea
    • Turmeric
    • Kiwi
    • Poultry for Vitamin B-6
    • Mushrooms – for vitamin D ( the only completely plant-based source of vitamin D)
  • Get some Sunshine and make your own Vitamin D!  8-15 minutes a day of sunshine on your skin is suggested, so take a nice walk after lunch now that it’s warming outside!  Vitamin D from sunlight is believed to circulate in the body twice as long as that derived from food or  supplements.  Vitamin D is necessary to modulate the immune system response.
  • De-stress!  Stress has a negative impact on the immune system, so anything you can do to reduce your stress levels will help.  Whether it’s yoga, taking a walk, a long warm bath, reading a good book, or calling an old friend that  you haven’t heard from in a while, anything you can do to lower your stress level will be a positive for your immune system.
  • STAY HYDRATED!  Drink plenty of water, and moderate use of alcohol.
  • GET PLENTY of GOOD  SLEEP!  If you haven’t already, cultivate good sleep habits.   Aim for 7-8 hours per night to keep your immune system at its peak!


If you do get sick:

  • Stay home – please don’t spread it.
  • You need to rest, so  exercise is out, but there is a yoga pose that can help with fever:  Sitting in Sukhasana (Easy Pose), as pictured on this page,  with the backs or sides of the hands resting on the knees, thumb and index  finger touching, and breathing through a U-shaped tongue for a minimum of  three minutes will help reduce a temperature.
     

Sending Love to ALL,

Missy Jones
