Yoga Clothes

The practice of Yoga is directed at relaxing your mind and body. Hence, you must not wear something that is uncomfortable or non-functional or distracting during your yoga sessions. Make sure your yoga outfit feels good against your skin and allows you maximum mobility if you don’t want to be constantly reminded about them during the course of the session.

If you have a choice in the matter go for absorbent materials that will easily soak up perspiration from your body. You don’t want to feel clammy and smelly during your yoga session, no matter how much you might be exerting yourself.

In the following section we give you a list of the few essential details that you ought to keep in mind while selecting yoga outfits for yourself.

1.    The Yoga Pants – Yoga pants are of various kinds. Some of them are long and extend up to the end of your ankles while others end above your knees. Most of them are clingy and fit your body snugly. Wearing such a form-fitting outfit has its advantages. For instance, many instructors claim that such closely fitted wear allows them to spy the exact alignment of their students’ bodies and thereby allows them to make the necessary changes in their postures.

However, if you are personally not comfortable in such tight garments go for loose cotton trousers instead. No matter what sort of pants you choose for yourself make sure you are comfortable in them and that they allow you the freedom to bend and twist in an uninhibited manner.

Also, ensure that the waist area of the pants do not have any bulky tie which may bite into your skin and prove cumbersome after a while.
 
2.    Yoga Shorts – Yoga shorts are your best choice in case you mean to do Bikram or hot yoga. This is because such yoga is practiced in a hot room, which can sweat you up a bit. Shorts are also a good choice during the summer months when the temperature is too high to allow long pants to remain comfortable.

If you are choosing Yoga shorts for yourself make sure you ensure that they don’t ride up your body during exercises. Form fitting shorts tend to stay put in their pace and are perhaps the best choice you have.
 
3.    Yoga Tops – No matter what sort of yoga tops you choose for yourself (and there really is a wide variety you can choose from) make sure that it doesn’t fall all over your face when you do difficult asanas.

Pick up a few fitted tees or even a sports bra (in case you practice Bikram or hot yoga) for your yoga classes. These sort of outfits are both form fitting as well as revealing enough to show your alignment to your instructors.

However when choosing a sports bra make sure you don’t end up choosing something you’d be too uncomfortable to wear in a class. Also, ensure nothing falls out of your top while exercising, you don’t want to be concerned about what you might be revealing while concentrating on your asanas.
