Yoga Kit

What do I wear? What do I need to bring?

The most suitable clothing is a T-shirt and leggins, knee length leggins or shorts. What is important is that you can move freely and clothing is not restrictive. Very baggy clothing is also not suitable. Bring socks and a jumper for the relaxing part of the class.
Use an anti-perspirant deodorant and have clean feet (yoga is practised in bare feet).

For the first few classes you can borrow a mat but bring a blanket. You will need to buy a yoga mat, 1 or 2 blankets, a yoga belt, 2 wooden or cork bricks and 4 foam blocks. Yoga equipment is easy to find now but cheap mats from the local supermarket are not always the best. Everything you need is available from www.yogamatters.com which is a reliable company but there are other shops online as well.
Do not eat a meal before you come to class. Allow 2 hours after a snack or 4 hours after a heavy mealbefore yoga. You will regret it otherwise if there are twists or forward bends to do! Also you will be sleepy and dull. Plan your eating - don't come feeling hungry either or you may feel faint or shaky.
Do not drink water during the class. Water bottles should be put away until afterwards. It is not necessary or good for you to continually sip water during yoga practice.
