We recommend you bring your own yoga mat. You will sweat a lot, so we recommend you bring a towel that covers your whole mat. We provide props such as blocks and straps and we have mats and towels for rent, and water for sale.

As we practice in a heated room, it is best to discuss with your physician your interest in starting or continuing your yoga practice when you are pregnant.
