What to wear, what to bring: MA Center Chicago is an ashram (spiritual sanctuary), so we kindly request that all attendees dress modestly to maintain the sacred atmosphere of the space. Wear modest comfortable clothing suitable for gentle yoga poses. You may wish to bring a yoga mat and/or blanket, meditation cushion, water bottle, and snacks. Chairs and course handouts will be provided. Also, if you wish, bring clothing for the outdoors—during breaks you are invited to stroll and soak in the spiritual atmosphere of the ashram grounds.
Please email us at maccmeditation@macenters.org if you have any questions. For more information about IAM Meditation, including upcoming IAM Courses, Refreshers, and Guided Meditation, visit us.amma.org/iam
