Yoga clothes should be comfortable and functional. They should
allow you to move freely and not distract you from your
practice. They should feel good against your skin so they dont
cause any irritation.
Ideally, the clothing should be absorbent so that it wicks sweat
away from your body. There are few things that feel as
uncomfortable as a sticky, clammy body that is moist from
perspiration.
I also think they should be attractive and fun to wear. When I
do yoga alone in my home, I am willing to wear an old tee shirt
and sweats or baggy shorts. When I practice in a class, I am
more discriminating in what I choose to wear.
I admit it. I work very hard to keep my body in shape, and when
I am with others, I want to show off the efforts of my hard
work. I usually choose form fitting pants and a fitted tee
shirt. This allows me to see the outline of my body in the
mirror so I can maintain good form, and it lets me move without
having to fuss with my clothes. They are also flattering to my
body, so when I wear them I feel good.
Here are some of the things that you should look for in yoga
clothing so that they work well for you and make you feel good
about yourself and your practice.
Yoga Pants - There are many types of yoga pants. Some are long
and go down to your ankles; others stop just below your knees.
Often they are relatively form fitting. These types of pants
have the benefit of allowing your instructor to see your
alignment so she can make any necessary adjustments to your form.
If you arent comfortable in pants that are so revealing, you

of movement without being too tight.
Whatever pants you choose, make sure that you can bend and move
freely in them. Also be sure that there are no bulky ties at the
waist that might be uncomfortable when you are lying in a prone
position.
Yoga Shorts - Yoga shorts are a very good choice if you practice
Bikram or hot yoga, because the room is heated to such a high
temperature. They are a good bet in the warm summer months when
long pants might be too warm. They also help you more easily
check the proper alignment of your lower body because you can
see your knees and ankles.
The yoga shorts should be long enough to cover your derriere and
they should not ride up. Form fitting shorts usually dont move
too much, so they may be just right for you.
Yoga Tops - Yoga tops should allow you to move freely without
having them fall in your face. Tee shirts should be short enough
so that your lower body is not hidden, so you can more easily
check your alignment. Some women like to wear sports bras
(especially those who practice Bikram yoga). If you choose to
wear one, make sure that it holds you securely and that nothing
falls out when you are bending or stretching. You dont want to
wear something that is going to cause you to worry about what
you might be showing to the rest of the class.
Yoga tops come in many bright and attractive colors. You might
also have fun wearing shirts with characters such as Yoga girl

Yoga Shoes - Most people do not wear shoes during their
practice. However, they might be useful if you practice outside
in a park, on a beach, or some place where you would not want to
take off your shoes and socks. Yoga shoes look very similar to
other athletic footwear, except that the soles allow for
considerable flexibility in your foot and the tops of the shoes
are very lightweight. Some popular brands include Puma yoga
shoes and Adidas shoes for yoga.
Jacket - Many people might not think that a jacket is an
important part of yoga clothing, but I beg to disagree. I think
it is absolutely critical to take a jacket with you to your yoga
class. I have been in many classes where the temperature has
been quite cool (some are downright freezing). While the
temperature often doesnt matter too much while I am moving
during the poses, it becomes quite a different story when the
time comes to meditate.
I dont know about you, but I find it difficult if not
impossible, to relax when I am cold. Bringing a jacket with you
gives you an option of covering up during the relaxation period
if you are feeling chilly. Feeling warm and comfortable allows
you the pleasure of letting your body relax fully.
So yoga clothes should be functional, comfortable, and give you
the freedom to totally enjoy your practice. Have fun with them
and enjoy wearing the ones that make you feel good!
