What to Bring
Please bring along your lovely smile and a beginner’s heart.
We’ll be sitting on the floor on a yoga mat and blocks for the lecture parts of the training. The studio will have plenty of yoga mats and blocks for us to use. Bring along anything else you think you might need to help you feel comfy. There are several chairs in the studio for you to use as well, if sitting on the floor isn’t comfortable.
A notebook and pens. We'll provide a manual.
Nut-free lunch and snacks. There’s a medium-sized frigde at the studio if you need to refrigerate your food. Or purchase your own lunch nearby. There are a handful of shops in the area, including a Food Basics, Maki Sushi, Domino’s Pizza, Pita Pit, Tim Hortons.
Water bottle. The studio has Brita filtered water.
Please wear comfortable exercise attire as we’ll be moving around quite a bit. We may go down to the pond for our morning practice, weather permitting. Bring comfortable walking shoes, mosquito repellant, hat/cap, sunscreen, sunnies etc.
A thermos for tea/coffee. We’ll have a kettle and plenty of herbal tea to keep your kidneys warm.
Indoors runners or slippers. The studio has a no outdoor shoes policy. The rubber flooring makes it hard to keep the floor 100% clean so we don’t recommend wearing your only socks.
