Yoga Clothes from Tribal Earth
Yoga is an exercise regime that involves lots of stretching
. This means you will find comfortable, flexible clothes much easier to move around in and perform your stretches when you are in a yoga lesson. There are no set clothes you have to wear in yoga lessons and this will be a matter of personal preference. However tight trousers such as jeans and other thick, stiff materials could restrict your movements and make yoga lessons uncomfortable.
Thin Layers
Yoga is not a passive exercise regime and as you move through routines you will start to get hotter as your muscles warm up and your circulation increases. It is a good idea to dress in thin layers so you can peel some clothing off once you start to warm up.
Baggy Clothes
Baggy clothes can not be as comfortable as you might think might think for yoga. If you are performing a difficult stretch baggy clothes can bunch up and prevent you from moving around easily. Also if you need to invert your body baggy clothes can ride up and cause you to accidentally flash the rest of your class! It is best to look for closer fitting clothing like flexible leggings, shorts or yoga pants and a vest top. These allow you greater freedom of movement but will remain firmly in place whilst you are working through your routines. Form fitting clothes also allow your teacher to easily check that your body is aligned correctly during stretches. You could always throw a baggy t-shirt over form fitting clothes if this makes you feel more comfortable. If this rides up you will have your vest and leggings to protect your modesty.
Tight Clothes
You wouldn't wear tight, restrictive clothes if you were at an aerobic class and the same applies for yoga. Tight clothes will feel very uncomfortable when you are trying to stretch out and could impede on your breathing and circulation. Yoga is about improving the flow of energy around your body not restricting it, so make sure your clothes are not too tight and uncomfortable.
Shoes
Yoga is traditionally performed in bare feet, but for hygienic reasons many people opt for special yoga socks or slippers. These are designed to give you more grip as well when you are performing your routines. Some yoga teachers may insist on bare feet though so it is important to check this before you attend the lesson.
Jewellery
You should take off jewellery when you are taking part in yoga lessons. Necklaces, bracelets and earrings can get tangled up and impede your movements whilst you are stretching. You should also pin back your hair to keep it out of the way if it is long.
Organic Fabrics
In keeping with the holistic ethics of yoga you may choose to wear clothes made from organic fabrics when you are practising your routines. Natural fabrics also allow the skin to breathe more easily and help to prevent you from getting too hot.
