What do I need to bring to an Ashtanga Yoga class?
All Ashtanga Yoga classes require the use of a yoga mat. Ashtanga students are encouraged to bring their own mat but mats are available to rent from Yoga Yoga for $1 per class (no mat rental charge for your first class.) Because an Ashtanga Yoga practice generates heat in the body, it is necessary also to bring a towel for wiping persperation. Many Ashtanga Yoga students like to use a “Mysore Rug”, which is a cotton rug that lays on top of a yoga mat. Mysore rugs help create a steady foundation for the practice. Our yoga rooms are equipped with straps, blocks, and blankets that you are welcome to use if you desire.
