So yoga has caught your interest and you’ve taken the leap and booked onto your very first class. Awesome! As a yoga practitioner, I can tell you that you’re about to embark on an exciting and beautiful journey of self-discovery.
However, as a first-timer, you’re bound to be feeling a bit anxious and unsure of what to expect from your new hobby. One of the questions on your mind right now is most likely, what should I wear to yoga?
In this article, I’ll run through the comfiest, stylish, and most functional clothes that will allow you to feel confident and comfortable, and therefore, get the most from your first yoga class.
The perfect fitting yoga pants
A colorful patterned pair of yoga pants have become the symbol of yoga in America these days, with the clothing item becoming a fashion statement.
As well as desiring a stylish pair of leggings that allow you to stand out from the crowd, you’ll need yoga pants that sculpt to fit your form, maintain their shape over time, allow your skin to breathe, and feel soft and comfy to wear.
This is why it’s recommended to purchase your yoga outfit from an activewear brand such as Fabletics that specialize in creating sports clothing for comfort, style, and functionality.
Kate Hudson’s athleisure label Fabletics creates breathable and sweatproof leggings by using cleverly placed ventilation and quicking drying fabric to wick up moisture. Moreover, their pants are developed with warp knit technology which will sculpt perfectly to your unique form.
A supportive sports bra
Sports bras are available in low impact, medium impact, and high impact versions. For most yoga styles, low – medium impact bras will be sufficient. However, if you are practicing power yoga or ashtanga – styles of yoga that are fast-paced and dynamic, you may want to opt for a high impact bra, especially if you’re a big busted woman.
Higher impact sports bras tend to feature more padding to offer full-coverage support, but most have removable padding. Sports bras have evolved a lot over the years. Nowadays sports bras can be very stylish coming in various designs such as strappy backs and zip fronts.
A breathable tank top
Sports tops are a far more superior choice than standard vests for your yoga class because of their high tech design and functionality. Whilst it’s fine to wear any type of casual top or t-shirt for practicing yoga, I always feel cooler and more comfortable in a specially designed sports tank.
Activewear tops feature light-as-air mesh fabric for breathability and temperature control as well as side slits for extra mobility. Many are also sculpted to give a flattering fit without feeling tight or sticky.
Whenever we try something new, we are pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone, so naturally, it can feel uncomfortable and scary. Clothes pay a big part in feeling secure and confident so follow this guide to breeze through your first yoga class with serenity.
