COVID-19 Policy:
Given the ongoing concerns from the COVID -19 pandemic, the Feathered Pipe Foundation has established a set of safety protocols for all staff, guests, and teachers to follow during our 2023 season at the Feathered Pipe Ranch. For the health and safety of our guests and staff, all Prairie Yoga retreat registrants are required to review the safety protocol below and confirm consent to follow all procedures.
ALL REGISTRANTS intending to participate in a Prairie Yoga retreat program will need to have a negative COVID-19 test (antigen or PCR), taken within 1 day prior to your program’s start date. Rapid antigen self-tests are acceptable and can be ordered for free at covidtests.gov. Upon arrival at the airport, all guests must inform Feathered Pipe staff if they are in any way feeling ill. Wearing of masks is not required during transport to the Ranch but strongly recommended as a precaution after travel via public/air transport.
Upon arrival at the Feathered Pipe Ranch, you will be asked to affirm that you have had a negative COVID-test taken within 1 day prior to your arrival. Wearing of masks is not required, but respectful social distancing should be observed as necessary. Only staff is allowed in the kitchen at any time. During meals, a maximum of six people may sit at any one table.
All guests are requested to bring their own personal yoga mat.
If a participant becomes ill during a program, the participant must immediately inform Prairie Yoga Staff. They will be provided with a COVID-19 self-test. If they test positive, they can stay in a quarantine accommodation on the Feathered Pipe Ranch grounds for the duration of program. If quarantine is necessary after the end date of the program, Feathered Pipe Foundation will assist in locating a suitable accommodation in Helena, with the program participant solely responsible for any ensuing housing, medical, or travel delay/change/cancellation costs.
Please note: Protocols are subject to change based on recommendations from CDC and/or local public health departments.
I have read the above Agreement of Release and Waiver of Liability; Covid Policies; and fully understand the contents. I voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions stated above.
