Bring your own mat
Mats are provided free sometimes, but bringing your own ensures better grip and hygiene in a museum space.
Arrive early to check in
Plan to be at the front door 10–15 minutes before the 8:30 a.m. start so museum staff can direct you to the second-floor gallery.
Hydrate beforehand
This is a gentle, indoor practice — bring a water bottle to stay comfortable, especially on warm days.
Respect the historic site
Keep voices low, avoid sticky mats or shoes on delicate floors, and follow staff instructions to protect the museum space.
Yoga mat
Provides traction and comfort on the gallery floor; mats are sometimes available but bring your own if possible.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated before and after class in New Orleans’ humidity is important.
Light layers
A light top or wrap helps if the gallery is cool in the morning; remove layers as you warm up.
