Most classes welcome guests in attire that they feel most comfortable in. We recommend clothing that affords you freedom of movement to stretch, bend and posture yourself.

The location of classes varies both indoors and outdoors so be sure to pack and dress appropriately to include sun protection supplies and outerwear.
