In addition to the indoor Pilates classes we're already offering, we'll open a limited schedule of yoga and barre classes beginning Monday April 26, 2021.

For those not yet ready to return to classes inside the studio, don't worry! Outdoor and livestream classes are here to stay. View the schedule on our website.
Here are the safety measures you can expect when taking classes in-studio at Om:
*Our windows will be left open to ensure maximum airflow in our yoga room.

Our studio is also professionally deep cleaned 2x week.
*Secure face masks that cover both the nose and mouth are required to be worn at all times inside the studio. Water breaks are fine on your mat, but if your mask needs to be removed for any other reason, please step outside.
*Hand sanitizer stations are available in the lobby and inside the studio.
*We will not be renting any mats or equipment except blocks, so be sure to bring your own props to class. We have new props and mats available for sale in our retail store if you forget.
*Pre-registration is required for all classes and the cutoff is 15 minutes before class starts. Should class sell out, we will have 3 waitlist spots available - our system will email you to let you know if a spot has opened up.
*To allow as many students as possible with limited capacity, we are strictly enforcing our cancellation policy to 4 hours before class starts or you will loose your class. Members will be charged a $15 fee.

Campbell Recreation Pre-School provides a safe and nurturing environment for your child's first school experience. Each classroom is designed to maximize a child's learning experience.
To engage active and growing minds and bodies, we introduce as many different materials and hands-on learning opportunities as possible such as art, music, a movement lab, and language, reading, and math readiness activities. Oral language and listening skills are developed through circle time activities. Social skills are developed during both structured activities and unstructured free choice play time.
Our pre-school has provided children with their first school experience for over 20 years. We believe a child's first school experience sets the foundation for a love of learning.
