I wore yoga pants
I wore socks
Yes they had them there, but i bought my own now.

just wanted to mention that I think buying the mat is a great idea- i got one for our house at sports authority

i definately wouldnt want to go mat-less, just wouldnt want to put my head down on mats or carpets

thanks! i've been wondering about the sock thing... i wasnt sure if it makes it harder if you wear socks b/c i would think you would be slip sliding around

I keep meaning to check out this bikram place by my job- i would love to take a class weekly- have fun!

I do the Bikram yoga, it's terrific, you feel fantastic afterwards, but the first week is tough b/c your using muscles you never knew you had...but it's helped me w/ my posture and back problems.

Alot of runners also say it's done amazing things for their knee issues.

Just be prepared to sweat and drink plenty of water before hand

same here. love bikram

I used to go twice a week religiously and I loved it. It wasn't a super advanced class but I used to feel great when I came out of there. My gym had really nice mats, so I didn't need one. I always had an extra towel. You know I can't remember if I went barefoot. This was awhile ago. I know I used to take a step class before it and I remember taking off my sneakers. I also had these little yoga shoes, so maybe that's what I wore. I also have these yoga socks that have the rubber grip on the bottom so you don't slip. I also have my own mat now for when I tried it at NYSC. I miss it. Have fun and go at your own pace!

I like yoga but prefer pilates now. Either way here is some advice...

Tight pants
Yes barefoot
I bring my own yoga matt. Be sure to get the flat one and not the puffy one.

barefoot wear comfy tight clothes i dont wear a bra there. I take bikiram and i highly recommend the one in RVC and the one in Bayside be hot yoga
