Making sure you have everything for your first yoga class, whether that’s a YTTP-style one-‘n’-done session or the first of a yearlong subscription, is daunting. You could make a trip to Lulu and call it a day, but the price tag wouldn’t justify what you’d be getting. (Not to mention, the “fascist gym drone” look isn’t for everyone.) You’ll get the most practical setup by cherry-picking from a wide selection brands (most with interchangeable new-agey names). Of course, we’ve done the work for you — but in class, no one will, so don’t get too cozy.
