It also helpful, but optional, to bring 2 foam yoga blocks.

If doing a class from your home, try to find a quiet space free of distractions.

Wear clothing that is comfortable to move in.
-
For yoga, it's best to have a yoga mat to practice on. We are not currently loaning any props so you will need to bring your own. A mat is not necessary for tai chi or chi gong.

Yoga is typically done barefoot.
-
It's ideal to practice yoga on an empty stomach (at least 1 hour after a meal).
-
Always remember to be observant to and respectful of your own bodies limits. Never stay in a pose that does not feel right for your body.
