4. What to bring to the yoga teacher course in Bali?


For the course you will only need to bring comfortable clothes and a reusable bottle to have water with you.

You will have all the material at the yoga center, but I recommend you take your own mat if you have space in your suitcase or even better, a yoga towel that takes up little space and weighs little.

I have one how is the link, it can be placed on top of the mat, it is more hygienic and at the same time gives you more grip.
