In Japan, broken pottery is mended with gold. The repair isn't hidden, it's the most beautiful part, because it holds the story of how the thing came apart and how it was made whole. That's the whole idea. You don't arrive on the mat already whole. You arrive as you are, and the practice helps you become a better version of yourself.
Bring: water, a mat if you have one, rentals available. Wear: something comfortable you can breathe and move in.
