Studio News: Corona updates

17.02.21

We are so grateful that we will be able to fully reopen our studios without any restrictions. We can’t wait to welcome you back!

Measures in the studios As of Friday, February 18th, wearing face masks and keeping a 1.5 meter distance is no longer required in our studios. However, because we realise that we all have to get used to the ‘old normal’ again, we will keep working with designated mat placements in our shalas. As of Friday, February 25th, scanning QR codes in our studios will no longer be necessary.

Unity Days (20 & 27 February 2022) A couple of weeks ago, we started to plan our Unity Day on Sunday, February 20th, without knowing that measures would be coming to an end so soon. In light of the changed circumstances, we decided to add another moment of celebration on Sunday, February 27th.

Join 3 workshops for free! Our plans for Unity Day on the 20th will stay the same - you will be able to join 3 workshops guided by Daphne, Moena and Victoria for free! You can book them through the regular schedule. According to the government’s measures, workshops are considered education and not sports, so do not require a QR code. For our classes, we will keep scanning QR codes until the 25th.

Join a class on the 27th for only 5 euro On the 27th, we will come together again to celebrate togetherness. There will be drinks and bites in the studios to welcome everyone. We have also created a nice offer especially for this day - you can join a class with our Unity Day Card for only 5 euros. You can also join our classes with a membership or class card.

Take a look at our website for more information - we hope to see you there!

Our Corona safety measures:

• We will keep a 1.5 meter distance in our lounge, dressing rooms, and shalas.
• We will need to check Corona passes (CTB) as you enter.
• Face masks are mandatory, but can be taken off as soon as you have arrived on your mat.
• You can happily borrow our mats & props for your practice.

20.12.21

The news that we have to cancel all our in-studio workshops and classes until January the 14th has yet to sink in behind the scenes at Delight. Probably like many of you, we are moving through different phases of disbelief, disappointment, and sadness. Yet there is also a sense of ease and openness with the deep trust in the strength of our community. We certainly did not see this coming, and even though it feels heavy right now we truly believe we will get through this together again.

We aim to help students to stay connected to themselves and to rely on their inner strength in the midst of turmoil. We will do everything we can to continue doing so during this new lockdown.

Online special classes & programs

To keep supporting you and find balance and connection during these challenging times, we’ve created the following programs:

During our End of the Year & New Year Satsang with Satya Katiza, we come together daily from the 27th of December until the 2nd of January, from 11:00-12:30 to connect and reflect.

Our special Staying Anchored in your Seat classes Victoria Raven Hyndman will share balancing and nourishing practices to stay centered during these challenging times every Monday from 10:00-12:00.

Our daily Silent Sit Meditation provides the online space to meditate together under the guidance of our Silent Sit teachers Royce, RolandJan, Sjoerd, and Inge.

If you haven’t already, you can still join our “Balance Your Vata” online program until the 31st of December to stay balanced in Autumn/Early winter through the wisdom of Yoga & Ayurveda.

New daily Livestream classes

Besides our regular daily online classes, we will also schedule new Livestream classes every day so you can keep practicing with your favorite teacher. Because we are currently migrating to a new booking system, the schedule will be released on Friday the 23rd of December.

The new Livestream classes are only accessible with a Delight Membership, Delight Mysore Membership, Delight Guest, or any Delight Card (not with a Delight Online Membership or Online Day Pass).
