Like
all other activities, Yoga also needs to be practiced in clothes which
are specifically deigned for the physical demands of Yoga. Wearing right
apparel is very important in yoga, as practice entails performing
different types of body postures, ranging from the very simple to
slightly complex. So, Yoga clothes should be comfortable enough to allow
free movement of various body parts in all poses or positions.
Types of Yoga Clothing
Yoga pants, Capri, pajamas, t-shirts, shorts, unitard, etc, are
advisable clothing for practicing Yoga. The fabric of clothes should be
light-weight and sweat absorbent. Loose pants, Capri, shorts and pajamas
are really comfortable. Another thing to look for in clothing is
stretchability. Since different Yoga poses require different body
movements, it is recommended to wear stretchable clothes which allow
free movement of body parts. Ladies are advised to wear sports bra. Yoga
clothing is available in all sizes and colors in the markets.
Unitard is another type of clothing which requires special mention. It's
tight-fitting garment of stretchy material that covers the body from the
shoulders to the thighs. It has long sleeves & legs reaching down to
the ankles which provide coverage, support and comfort while performing
Yoga. It is usually made of durable, lightweight organic cotton/spandex
with double-layered front and back panels and single-layer arms and
legs. Available in different colors and sizes, Unitard is very
comfortable and facilitates better movement of body.
