HYGIENE

Wear comfortable loose fitting or stretchy clothing. Yoga is done in bare feet so please make sure your feet are clean. Please bring a towel if you perspire a lot. For hygienic reasons it is also good to own your own yoga mat although The Yoga Temple do supply yoga mats. There are facilities at the studio for you to store your personal mat.

PURE DRINKING WATER

The drinking water supplied by the studio for students has gone through high quality reverse osmosis water purification.
