What should I wear?

admin Changed status to publish 12/10/2022

Yogis are asked to dress discreetly, out of respect for the monastics leading the retreat and to not distract other yogis. This includes:

  • not wearing sleeveless tee-shirts, tops or dresses
  • not wearing short or tight-fitting clothing or leggings
  • not wearing low or plunging necklines or transparent clothing
  • not wearing shorts, skirts, or dresses which end above the knees

It is advisable to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for sitting meditation, and suitable outdoor clothing for walking meditation.   It is preferable that white clothing is worn at all times, although, clothes in a light shaded colour is also recommended. A white shoulder cloth (uthuru saluwa) is a necessary item to be worn at all times.
