Wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement. We provide yoga mats, but you’re welcome to bring your own. A water bottle and a small towel are also recommended. The towel can be used for sweat during a dynamic class or to place over the props (bolsters and cushions) during more calm classes.​​

You can take pictures or make a video, but before you do this, make sure that if someone else is around you and, possibly in the picture/video, they are ok with it. The studio is a safe space and we don't want that our students ever have to worry about this.
