What To Wear In The Yoga Classes

What to Wear in the Yoga Classes

Yoga is one of the finest practices to keep your physical health in check while also calming your mind and helping you to get stronger. It is intended to be a meditative, calm & relaxing form of exercise. Yet, dressing for yoga can be intimidating for beginners. 

One of the most commonly asked questions we receive from people is “Okay, I’m ready to go to a yoga class. But what to wear?!” 

Here are some beginner tips for you to to determine the best outfit for the yoga class:

 

  • A Tank Top

Most of the basic yoga poses involve lots of arm movement. You won’t have to worry about constantly pushing them out of your way if you don’t have any sleeves. You can completely focus on your poses. Chose one that doesn’t have a plunging neckline and fits your body well because a loose shirt or a low neckline will leave you exposed when you bend or twist into a new position.

 

  • A Sports Bra To A Bikram Class

It gets extremely warm during Bikram or Hot yoga so its best for women to wear a sports bra in order to stay cool. Sports bras are typically categorized by impact level. In that case, a low-impact bra is fine. 

For men, going shirtless to Bikram could be a better option.

 

  • Try A T-shirt

Always pick a t-shirt that is comfortable and also fits well. You can practice stretching, reaching, and bending your arms to make sure the shirt is not too tight. In inversion poses, the shirt might slide up your torso, so either prepare to tuck it in, or wear a camisole underneath.

 

  • Try With Layers

For a more mellow class like Iyengar or Vinyasa, you can wear a lightweight sweatshirt over a tank top so you’ll be warm at the beginning and end of class when there is less movement. 

Also, you can always remove layers if you get too hot.

 

  • Wear Yoga Pants

Yoga pants are easy to find at most of the stores that sell workout clothes. These pants have many different colors so you can pick whatever suits your personality. 

You can try some lunges or stretches in the dressing room to make sure you have a full range of motion. You can wear them for other fitness activities as well, like running or biking. 

Full-length yoga pants are better for classes that won’t involve a lot of rapid movement. Because the excess fabric could trip you up. For more active classes where it will get hotter much quicker, consider getting a 3/4-length pair of yoga pants. 

 

  • Try Bicycle Shorts

Less is always more at a Bikram class. You might not want your entire legs covered there. Bicycle shorts are great for this yoga as they stay put as you move. You’ll want to consider whether they are transparent when stretched, but you want to be secure that you will be well-concealed throughout the class. 

 

  • Choose A Pair Of Leggings

If you haven’t tried yoga before and aren’t sure about investing in a new wardrobe before you know whether you’ll go to classes regularly, a pair of leggings is fine. You might already have leggings in your closet. Just make sure you choose an opaque pair!
