Masks are NOT currently required by state mandate. They are optional.
Please bring your own disinfectant (allergies/preferences etc.) and wash and disinfect your yoga mats and props often as you see fit.

Bring your own personal mat and/or blocks (or disinfect borrowed props with alcohol wipes thoroughly before and after each use).
