Written by Tim Moore.

Selecting the best quality apparels for yoga is as important as taking time to perform it. While there is no hard and fast rule to a particular design, the most essential points to remember are:

yoga clothing

It is recommended that yoga clothing fabric should be of cotton or knitwear. Most of the yoga postures and exercises are difficult to act upon as it involves a lot of stretching, it is therefore necessary that the cloth support all the extended movements of the body. The fabric of the cloth should be soft enough to prevent any kind of rashes to the skin. Another reason for selecting cotton is because it absorbs body sweat which is a common discharge while doing any kind of exercise. Choosing the proper type is also a valuable matter. Yoga clothing should be comfortable enough, so that you can carry out all the postures of yoga with ease. With that in mind the next important thing is the material of the cloths.

Most of the yoga exercises involve focus on the body postures for a longer period of time. And for that the body needs zero distractions. Similarly some of the movements are fast, some are slow, and some need a lot of twisting and bending, while some involve just simple meditation for an hour.

Most people wear fitted clothes while performing yoga and then complain that they cannot do it properly. That's why it would be desirable to choose the type of clothing according to your size and body shape. Avoid jeans at all cost! Socks and shoes can also cause many people to loose focus. Also avoid baggy clothes, jewelry and glasses. Try to test run the apparel in front of the mirror before going to gym to check if the clothes allow freedom of movement. While selecting apparels you must also keep the environment in mind.

Exercising in hot and warm climates will sweat the body extensively. It is recommended to put on loose shorts so that you can feel the air and easily perform all the movements. Most of the yoga experts also recommend using shorts. However, wearing too little will also cause the body to loose water causing dehydration. You must choose the cloths with the right balance. Possibly for this reason most people gear up with tank tops and tubes as it does not stick to the body while sweating and it can stretch up to a reasonable length.

Exercise in cold climates or air conditioned rooms will cause blood and muscle tissues to clot. That's why the expert advice is to cover the body, so that you to feel warm enough to perform all the yoga activities with comfort. Yoga clothing choice reflects your individual personality.

Some people want to feel exclusive and stand out among other and they wear bright and multiple colors clothes. Others want to be less conspicuous and dress up using light colors with plain clothes. The clothes should be pleasing to eyes because this can also help to concentrate on your meditation. Avoid using too much perfume as others might be sensitive to certain chemicals. You should sport on clothes appropriately especially if you are performing yoga with other people. The point is to feel good while you wear your style.
