Yoga Clothing
This is part of the series on Yoga. As we have covered the basics of Yoga for the beginners last week, we cover the Yoga clothing in this part.
Despite what the adjacent levitating image of the woman shows, you need not go on a shopping spree to source your typical yoga wear. Any comfy loose fitting apparel will be just about adequate.
Yoga clothing must keep you comfortable during the entire workout. Yoga clothes that are uncomfortable or restrictive are likely to be distracting at a yoga session. Various parts of the body must be able to move with ease with your selection of yoga apparel. Choose yoga clothes that fit your frame well. Durability is another important factor while choosing yoga clothes. With bending and stretching yoga asanas, it is but natural that your yoga clothing be double seamed.Cotton is a preferred fabric for yoga clothing.
Go in for yoga clothes that are absorbent. Breathable fabrics wont leave you with chaffing and discomfort. Select yoga pants in a style that suits your preference, be it full length or cropped pants, leggings or capris. Go in for drawstring or elastic waists as they are likely to be more suitable during yoga. Flexibility is of paramount importance when it comes to choosing yoga pants as they must allow you to move sans restrictions. Lightweight pants in cotton that are not too tight, not too loose are ideal for yoga clothing.
Select yoga clothes that appeal to your sense of modesty and comfort. Women can go in for comfortable tee-shirts over shorts or pants. Do not choose a very loose tee-shirt as it is likely to slip down when you are doing yogic asanas that require you to lift your legs up.
