The Best Yoga Clothes For Your Bikram Yoga Class
June 18th, 2009
In my last article, “What Yoga Clothes Should I Wear To A Bikram Yoga Class”?, we talked about the fact that Bikram Yoga is a type of hot room yoga and as such might need a very particular type of yoga clothing. In this article I want to delve a little further into this subject and get somewhat more specific. Here are a few things you may want to consider when purchasing yoga clothing for you next Bikram Yoga class.
Yoga Pants You realize that there are a number of differing models of yoga pants. You can get those Capri styles that only go to just below the knee, or choose a full length model. Some people just prefer to wear Bermuda shorts which are O.K.
Then, of course, youll have to choose between flowing yoga pants and pairs that are more form fitting. The advantage to these are that your instructor can more easily see the lines of your body to tell if you are performing the postures correctly and, in turn, correct your pose accordingly.
One good thing about flowing yoga pants is they have the capacity to hide those areas of your body that you don’t necessarily want everyone to see. Whether this is just modesty or you truly believe that you need to hide things, flowing yoga pants will help.
Yoga Wear Tops I think you will find that choosing which yoga wear top to buy is very similar to buying those yoga pants. You still need to pick between tighter fitting or more loose and flowing garments. You might opt for a t-shirt style or even a tank top made of cotton or silk. I like to have an Om symbol on mine.
Yoga wear tops come in many popular styles and colors so you should never run out of endless ideas on what sort of yoga clothing to wear to your Bikram Yoga classes.
Yoga Shoes I don’t know how many people even bother with yoga shoes. Most folks just prefer to practice in their bare feet. Even so, there are a number of shoes designed specifically for yoga practice. You may want something like this if you ever find yourself wanting to practice on some stony beach in the Caribbean.
You could wear something loose and free like cotton soled tai chi shoes. Or even something with a little more support. Both Puma and Adidas make specialized footwear designed specifically for yoga enthusiasts.
To sum it all up, buy your yoga clothes because YOU like them. Choose wisely something practical, down to earth and above all, comfortable. You’ll thank yourself for it.
