Health & Safety Policy
THOR – The House of Rose is committed to providing a safe, clean, and healthy environment for all guests, participants, and staff. This Policy governs health and safety practices at our retreat and program venues, including protocols for communicable illness. All participants and visitors are expected to cooperate with these measures as a condition of participation.
1. General Health and Safety Principles
Our services involve shared physical spaces and close-contact activities, including yoga, movement, and hands-on instruction. We maintain standards that support the wellbeing of everyone on site. These principles apply at all locations where THOR – The House of Rose hosts programming, whether at our primary venue or third-party retreat facilities.
- Venues are cleaned and sanitized before and after each session according to appropriate health guidelines.
- Equipment such as yoga mats, props, and training gear is sanitized between uses.
- Ventilation and air quality are maintained at levels appropriate for physical activity.
- First aid kits and emergency contact information are accessible at all program venues.
- Staff and instructors hold current CPR Certification as required for their roles.
2. Communicable Illness Policy
To protect the health of all participants and staff, we ask that anyone experiencing symptoms of a communicable illness refrain from attending in-person sessions. This applies regardless of vaccination status and regardless of the cause or nature of the illness.
You should not attend an in-person session if you have, within the prior 24-to-48 hours, experienced:
- Fever of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) or higher
- Chills, shaking, or sweating not caused by exertion
- New cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Any rash of unknown origin
- Diagnosis with or confirmed exposure to a communicable illness within the prior 5 days
If you are unsure whether you should attend, we encourage you to err on the side of caution and contact us. We can often accommodate a session rescheduling or virtual participation where appropriate.
3. Instructor and Staff Standards
Our instructors and staff follow the same communicable illness policy. Any staff member experiencing the symptoms listed in Section 2 will not conduct in-person sessions until symptom-free without medication for at least 24 hours (or as otherwise required by applicable public health guidance in effect at the time). We maintain backup coverage protocols to ensure continuity of service where possible.
Staff members who work directly with clients receive training in:
- Recognizing signs of physical distress or injury during sessions
- Emergency response procedures
- Safe instruction practices appropriate to each service modality
4. Participant Health Responsibility and Assumption of Risk
By participating in any in-person service, you represent that you are not experiencing symptoms of communicable illness as described in Section 2 at the time of your session, that you have disclosed to us any health conditions or injuries relevant to your participation, and that you have consulted a healthcare provider where your condition warrants it.
Physical activity carries inherent risks. Participation in our programs is voluntary, and you assume the risks associated with physical exercise and wellness activities, including those conducted in group settings. This assumption of risk is in addition to, and does not limit, any written waiver you may be asked to sign at time of booking or check-in.
5. Allergy and Special Health Needs
If you have severe allergies, chronic medical conditions, or other health needs that may affect your participation, please disclose them to us before your first session. We will work with you to accommodate your needs to the extent practicable. We are not a medical facility and cannot provide medical monitoring or treatment during sessions. Participants with medically significant conditions should carry any prescribed medications (including epinephrine auto-injectors) with them at all times during programming.
6. On-Site Emergencies
In the event of a medical emergency at any of our venues, staff are instructed to call 911 immediately and render appropriate first aid within the scope of their certification. If programming is conducted at a third-party venue, emergency contact information for that location will be shared with participants at check-in.
Participants are asked not to attempt to move an injured person unless there is an imminent safety threat from remaining in place.
7. Accommodation Requests
We are committed to ensuring that people with disabilities and those with other health-related needs can fully participate in our programs. If you require an accommodation, please contact us at least 30 days before your session at terry @ the house of rose.com or 908- 200 – 8678. We will engage in a good-faith interactive process to identify reasonable accommodations.
8. Venue-Specific Requirements
When programming is hosted at a third-party venue (such as a retreat center, hotel, or partner studio), the health and safety policies of that venue apply in addition to our own. We will communicate any such requirements to participants in advance. The House of Rose is not responsible for the independent health and safety practices of third-party venues beyond what we have agreed to contractually.
9. Policy Updates
Public health conditions and recommendations change. We reserve the right to update this Health and Safety Policy at any time to reflect current guidance from the CDC, New Jersey Department of Health, or other applicable authorities. Updated policies will be posted at www.thehouseofrose.com and communicated to enrolled participants by email.
