Some quick hygiene reminders:
a. No bare feet in the bathroom
b. No Shoes on the mat
c. If you step off the mat barefoot, use the foot cleaning stations before you return to the mat.
d. Use the hand sanitizer on your hands and feet when you come on the mat.
These measures are in place to help prevent the spread of skin infections (ringworm, Staph, etc). Sharing isn't always caring especially when it comes to skin infections, please help keep the mat clean and sanitary for all.
