WHAT TO BRING:
- Weather can vary greatly so layered clothing is a great way to be prepared before and after your session.
- A swimsuit or sports tank and shorts are the most appropriate attire. Add a rash guard top and/or sunscreen to help protect yourself from the sun. Lycra or other synthetic attire is the way to go and cotton fabrics should be avoided.
- Hats and sunglasses are also helpful in protecting against the sun, but remember leashes for those sun glasses as can fall off easily in poses like downward dog.
- Drink plenty of water before class since it's hard to rehydrate on the board.
- Bring an open mind and your sense of playfulness!
