Postnatal and Babywearing Yoga Classes:

Sickness of parent/carer or baby

In the event that you or your baby are unwell or whether you are unsure if it is ok to attend a class, it is your responsibility to contact the teacher before leaving the house to attend the class. This is so the teacher can assess the risk to the other participants and advice you whether or not to attend the class.

If you or your baby has had vomiting and diarrhoea, please only attend the class if you have been clear of any symptoms for a minimum of 48 hours. This is for the safety and consideration of the other parents, carers and babies.

Please NEVER attend a class if your baby has chicken pox or either of you have conjunctivitis or any other infectious conditions. This is for the safety of the other participants.

It is the parents or carers responsibility to adhere to the above. MummyYoga cannot be held accountable for any lack of disclosure of the above. The teacher reserves the right to request the parent or carer to leave a class if they or their baby have been suffering from any of the above.
