What to bring:
-
If you are staying at the Grailville facility, please make sure to bring your own bath towel and necessary toiletries (only the basics will be supplied; bed with clean sheets, toilet paper & a place to set your things).
-
Your yoga mat. We do not supply mats. There will be eco-mats for sale on-site at the Yoga Boutique, but it is recommended that you come prepared.
-
Bring clothing appropriate for being outdoors. The buildings are not connected and to get from class to class you will be walking outside. You may even want to bring a rain jacket or umbrella. Also, bring extra layers of clothing. The location of the conference was not designed to be a yoga studio-some rooms may be too cool and some will be too warm-we have limited control over the temperature, and suggest wearing layers to keep comfortable.
-
Yoga props, such as a blanket, block, strap or anything else you might use in your practice. Refer to class descriptions online to see what additional props may be required for each class. Again, most props will be sold on-site in our Yoga Boutique, but we recommended that you come prepared.
-
Water or anything liquid to keep yourself hydrated and healthy throughout the conference.
-
Your ID. A Photo ID is required to pick up your badge and necessary conference information.
