Alignment Yoga tonight - masks required
Hey all,
We do Alignment Yoga tonight at 6pm at the Glowing Body. Masks are now required, due to the ability of the Delta variant to be spread easily by (rare) breakthrough cases.
The Thursday class is moving to 5:30pm instead of 6:30pm, so if it was too late previously, give it another look.
I’m going to ask everyone to bring their masks for the Tuesday and Thursday classes this week, and I’m assuming we’ll be wearing them, but I’m happy to hear opinions. I’ll give you my thoughts below:
(1) Everyone is really trying not to go into isolation again. If everyone got vaccinated, we’d be good. Barring that, it looks like everyone will need to wear masks in order (mostly) to avoid spreading it to unvaccinated folks.
(2) The CDC’s new guidance is obviously centered around public spaces where you can’t know/control whether or not people are vaccinated. In Bearden, we know everyone in the room is vaccinated.
(3) Since we’re all vaccinated, our risks are still greatly reduced. But it’s impossible to calculate that risk with the data at hand. (I’ve tried!) We just know it’s less.
(4) Plenty of my students are old enough to be at increased risk of hospitalization/death, and I’m adamantly opposed to putting them at unnecessary risk.
Obviously the safer routes are to all wear our masks or return to Zoom. I’m grumpy about it because I don’t actually like talking while wearing a mask, but I’m gonna try. If the consensus is to move to Zoom, I’ll do that too.
Y’all talk to me.
