Deciding on What Yoga Clothes to Wear
Deciding on What Yoga Clothes to Wear
No matter what the style of yoga is practiced, there are yoga clothes that help people to be able to practice in comfort and safety. There are not many things needed to practice yoga, with only a mat and the right clothing being the only two things needed to be able to participate in that sport. This is much better than other sports that require the specific shoes for the sport, bats, balls or other equipment that allow them to participate. The yoga mats are very inexpensive to buy, costing only around ten to fifteen dollars, depending on the brand of mat. The clothing can usually be found in what the person already has, although there are some better choices that can be found that are specifically made for use in these classes.
Men and Women
Yoga clothes for men are quite simple. They can wear shorts, tights or pants that allow them to do the various poses without revealing anything and while being able to stretch and move as they need to be able to do. The shorts should usually not be the shorter kind and should have a type of liner in them so that the person is covered at all times, even when stretching into odd positions. If pants are worn, they should be comfortable and composed of stretchy material so that all the poses can be done. They should also be form fitting and should not slide around too much so that they do not get in the way and have to be adjusted when doing the poses. Shirts can be short sleeved or tank style and should not be too loose. They need to stay in place even when upside down in poses so that they do not require readjustment either.
Yoga clothes for women are similar as well. The main difference in yoga clothes for women as opposed to men is that they also need to be concerned about their sports bras to go under the shirts. Some women also prefer to wear the sports bra alone, especially in Bikram yoga, since the environment is so hot. Whichever the case, the sports bra should be a little higher cut in the front to prevent mishaps from happening during the practice of the yoga since many of the poses make them bend upside down. The higher top prevents the breasts from coming out of the top when in those positions, leading to embarrassing situations and the need for readjustment.
