The Proper Yoga Clothing To Wear To A Bikram Yoga Class
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 Obviously there are a number of different styles of yoga pants. There are ones with full length legs and some that go just below the knee, like Capri pants. Some people opt for wearing shorts instead, and this is fine.
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 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.
There are many styles to choose from when purchasing yoga wear tops so you will have an endless supply from which to pick for your hot and sweaty 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.
I know people who like to wear those little cotton bottomed tai chi shoes. But you might want something with a little more support, like what Puma and Adidas make. These companies are very sympathetic to yoga types.
So, in closing, make sure that the yoga clothing you buy is fun, practical and comfortable and in the long run youre practice will improve dramatically!
