Yoga Mats


The most affordable way to get a big quantity of yoga mats is to buy a while roll and cut the mats yourself.  I buy a 1/8 " mat roll and cut 3 ' long mats from it.  You can get over 40 mats out of one roll.  If it's too much for you - team up with another teacher!  This length and thickness is all the kids need and more than this will be pretty heavy to carry.


Another option is to get regular yoga mats and cut them in half.

Tibetan Bowls


Bowls can be expensive, but they're really worth it.  The bigger the bowl, the more expensive it will be because it is valued by weight.  It costs about a 10th of the price in India and Nepal, so if you have a friend travelling there ask her to bring you one!
