I would think about:
A. Close the studio to stop the rent bleed. That, as others have said, is the landlord’s problem. Seek legal advice to do it right.
B. Focus on the online content space but partner with teachers to share profits. Teachers are unemployed too without the studio.
C. Focus on live classes. People are home and as social creatures we crave social connections. Innovate. Maybe have users all join a multi-way Facetime or other live session video. This lets teachers and students connect and can help with coaching and social interaction.
D. Market. Market. Market. Use social. Connect with current customers and explain what you want to offer. Give away short classes to draw people in.
E. Maybe take a small loan (not sure what government programs you can access) and help employ some great teachers as partners in all this virtual fun. Maybe seek a grant.
F. Learn from all this and make a course on how to take a studio (yoga and beyond) boldly into these uncharted waters. Charge for this content as it will be a valuable business strategy guide to other studios.
G. Seek out health care companies, hospitals, fire stations, police, etc. All of which are on duty and stressed as hell. Yoga can help. This fight needs to be managed for the long run. Keeping first responders in good physical and mental shape is vital.
H. Following ALL medical guidelines & Gov rules etc.
MAYBE offer a very widely spaced yoga program outside in a park for less than the allowed group size. Get some wireless speakers and space em out. Draw on the ground to ensure more-than-very-safe spacing. Social experience at a distance. I am NOT/NOT advocating a big (or even medium) group thing there. Follow! all! regulations! And then triple the separation. Zero chit chat after class. Mamaste & go your separate ways. Give free slots to some doctors/nurses to keep it even safer and benefit awesome medical professionals!
And good luck.
