Zoom Online & In-Person Classes
In-Person Class Schedule
Resuming May 5, 2022
Thursday In Person:
9-10:30 am Level 2 and up
11-12:00 pm Beginners Level 1-2Important Information about In-Person Classes:
Any class you bought on zoom is good for an in person class and vice versa. The prices will be for either 60 or 90 minutes, regardless of whether it’s on zoom or in person. The in person classes will be held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at our previous studio location on the third floor of 316 East Mitchell (which is now under the purview of the Crooked Tree Dance program).
To attend please send Mary an email of your vaccination card or dates of vaccination, and be willing to wear a mask. The room is big and the windows are many. Plus there is a new air purifier, so we will have circulation. After you send Mary an email of your vaccination status, you will be on a list of folks that can use these times. I will see where the students come to determine future classes. You must be on this list to come to class in person, but you are still free to use your classes as you choose, zoom, or in person.
I suggest you bring your own mat but there are blocks and blankets for your use there and a few mats if you forget yours. If at some point COVID concerns make it seem unwise to meet in person, the schedule will revert to an all zoom platform again. If you would not attend a zoom class, please buy single or small packages as no refunds will be issued if I need to move all classes to be on zoom.
Besides being together, a big plus for the studio is the rope wall, and I intend to make use of it in most classes!
Level 1 assumes no experience, Level 2 is experienced beginners. Mary will still offer alternatives and modifications of the asanas in all the morning classes for those that cannot do inversions or need an alternative asana for other reasons.

9:00 - 10:30 am Level 2 and up.How to Use Zoom for Online Classes
Go to http://www.zoom.us to download the free version of zoom to your device (iPhone, iPad, laptop, etc.). Don't worry that it says it's only for 40 minutes, that's for hosting.Buy classes at northwoodsyoga.com with the Zoom classes online payment form.
To request the classes you want, please email Mary at maryreilly36@gmail.com. Say which class you want to take and which count it is off of your package. For example, "I’d like Thursday at 5:30, my 3rd of 8." Mary will send you the link for that class. Every week the links are new.
The day of your class the link will take you to the waiting room and Mary will "let you in." Try to come to class ten or so minutes early.
Before the start time students will have a few minutes to set their camera angle and say hi to the others in the class. When class starts Mary will mute everyone. (You can mute yourself earlier if there is background noise in your space.) If you would prefer not to be seen, select the icon of the video camera and it will stop the video from showing you, but you will still see the class and Mary.
Classes are usually recorded (just the instruction, not the video of students unless they agree to be used for an example). The recordings are available to students in the class by request and can be viewed for up to 30 days after the class.
Classes are "mixed level," so you need to take the offering or version of the asana that matches your experience level. It’s fine to try something new, if you go slowly and stay aware of your capacity. If you need to ask a question, just unmute yourself.
Notes
Rather than go through an unwieldy registration process each time, you are asked to keep track of class usage yourself.
Mary recommends a sticky note on your computer as your "class card," checking off each class as you take it and renewing your card when they are used up. (If you want Mary to keep track for you contact her on email to set this up. It’s a different system so it has to be set up for future classes.)
If something comes up and you can’t attend class, don’t count it. Your classes are not counted by how many codes your request.
You and the members of your household may use the same class punch to take class.
If you have lost or diminished income, due to COVID-19 or other circumstances, please let Mary know and she can make the classes happen for you.
