Also bring: Your robe if you have one. (Guest robes will be available too), and if you have a personal cushion, bench or mat you prefer, bring that too.

Extra thoughts: We will bring mats and cushions for everyone, plus there are chairs in the building. Please let us know if you prefer to practice in a chair or a cushion, or would like both so you can switch back and forth for comfort. It will be helpful to know this in advance so we can set up properly in the morning.
