There are 20 folding yoga chairs which have no backrest in the Studio Room. Any chairs and tables stored in the shared space that leads to the toilets are not the property of Yoga Spirit Studios and MAY NOT BE USED.

Toilets

Main Hall

Women’s toilets are located off the reception area of the Main Hall. There is a single male toilet off the Main Hall which is also an accessible toilet. Some hirers make an agreement with participants to make the toilets unisex.

Studio Room

A door off the Studio Room leads to an area which is shared space with our landlord. Male and Female toilets are in this space. You are not permitted to go beyond the passageway which leads to the facilities. (It will trigger an alarm!) The connecting door must be kept locked. The tables and chairs stored in this space are not the property of Yoga Spirit Studios and MUST NOT BE USED. The landlord reserves the right for sole use of the studio room toilets in the afternoon of the first Sunday every month for their own functions and we try not to book out the Studio Room on those days. However the back hall could also be in use at any other time, and therefore the toilets and shared space might be used by others.

Accessible toilet

It is a condition of our lease, and therefore of this hire agreement, that the accessible toilet off the Main Hall be made available at any time for the users of the back hall, should they have a disabled person who needs it as it is the only accessible toilet in the building complex. While this access has never been claimed, you should know that it could happen. The person requiring the toilet would need to access it by coming through the Studio Room, into the Main Hall to use the toilet that is off the Main Hall.

Candles and incense

No flames are allowed. This includes candles, burners and incense. We keep perfumes to a minimum as many people are sensitive and we do not wish to exclude them from yoga. Battery operated candles and fairy lights are provided for ambience. They use rechargeable batteries.

Making the building secure

After your hire period you are required to make the building secure.

All heaters, coolers, lights, and electric appliances are off, and battery candles are off
Door to shared space and toilets off Studio Room is locked, key left in the door
Outside door in Studio room is locked and the bolts slid over (leave by reception door)
Connecting door between Studio Room and Main Hall is unlocked
Front gate is closed and deadlocked.
