How to Choose Your Yoga Outfit?

For gentle yoga styles such as hatha, yin, restorative or prenatal, which tend to focus on slower postures and breathing, you'll want your yoga clothes to offer a greater level of comfort. Look out for cotton pieces that are soft and keep you warm – this style of yoga isn’t as intense as others, so you won’t find yourself getting as hot. Consider investing in a cosy sweatshirt too for slower practices or for moments of meditation and breathing exercises. Roll it up and it’ll double as extra support beneath your sit bones or knees in certain poses.

Moisture management is essential for comfort in dynamic yoga where you’ll be working up a sweat. For this type of yoga, choose lightweight clothing in technical, breathable fabrics that wick perspiration away from the skin to keep you dry and cool.
