Feel free to bring your own yoga equipment and blanket—whatever you need for your practice. If you don’t have any equipment with you—whether due to transportation issues or simply because you forgot it—you can rent equipment at the monastery for a small fee. Please let the monastery know as soon as possible so that it can be set out for you in the seminar room.
