What should I bring to my first yoga class in Chiang Mai?

Most studios provide mats, but bringing your own can be more comfortable if you prefer a familiar surface.

• It's also a good idea to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated, especially in the warmer weather.

• Wear comfortable, breathable clothing that allows for movement, and consider bringing a towel if you're prone to sweating during practice.

Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Look at the qualifications, safeguarding, facilities, language support and suitability for your own health or family needs. A pleasant online description is not a substitute for checking the current programme and speaking directly with the provider.
