The Proper Yoga Clothing To Wear To A Bikram Yoga Class
Posted on 26. Jun, 2009 by Kurma Rosen in Yoga
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.
Naturally you may have to pick between flowing yoga pants and the styles that fit closer to your form. Form fitting are good because your instructor is able to see the lines of your body in order to tell if you are doing the postures right or not. That way, he or she can correct your posture properly.
The thing about the flowing yoga pants is that they are able to hide those areas of your body that you don’t want just anyone to see. Perhaps you are modest or feel you will look a lot better later.
Yoga Wear Tops Choosing yoga wear tops is similar to choosing yoga pants in that you’ll want to look for those that are either form fitting or loose and flowing. You could choose a t-shirt style or a tank top made of linen or hemp, maybe with one of those “Om” symbols printed on to it, if that matches your style.
You’ll find an almost infinite supply of designs of your yoga wear top so it should be relatively easy to find something for your next Bikram yoga class.
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.
