Tips and Preparation
For the best possible experience, new Yoga class participants are encouraged to arrive to class early to meet the instructor and to set up any equipment that might be needed, depending on the Yoga class that you will be attending.
- Please bring your own workout mat. We suggest arriving early to set up your mat.
- Come to class dressed and ready to move your body. Wear functional, flexible workout clothing made of breathable material to allow air flow.
- These classes are typically performed in bare or sock feet.
- Please bring water and a sweat towel. Participants may prefer to bring a warmer article of clothing for the final relaxation portion of class.
*Not all classes are offered at all locations. Check your Y’s schedule for availability and additional class variety.
