Generally a yoga mat or firm exercise mat is a basic thing to have. Many classes use yoga blocks and a yoga strap, too. Bolsters are large firm rectangular cushions for restorative yoga especially. If you don't have one, you can grab a long firm cushion off your couch! A thick blanket can be nice to have, also. Every class will need different things, make sure to check what's needed.

Recovery is so important for injury prevention and stress management! Whether you're experiencing a lot of stress and tension in your life, or you're an athlete and super sore from your workouts, or you don't exercise much and you just want to keep your body mobile and feel good, these are for you!! Without rest and recovery, we burn out. If you're constantly on the go, I highly recommend doing one of these classes at least once a week.

They are sometimes the same thing, but mobility is about creating more range of motion and smooth movement through a particular joint. We need to stretch to become more mobile, but some mobility work is about activation and strength at end range of motion. We need it all to move well and prevent injury.
