From what material is it better to choose clothes?
Many people believe that the most suitable is natural clothing, that is, made of natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, which perfectly absorb moisture, "breathable", hypoallergenic, pleasant to the body, do not interfere with the energy exchange between man and the universe. But such materials also have a number of disadvantages. For example, they quickly change color, lose shape during intense training, absorb odors, crumple.

elasticity, allow you to perform amplitude movements,
- the ability to remove moisture to the surface,
- do not absorb odors,
- have a positive effect on blood circulation and muscle tone,
- are well erased and dry quickly,
- retain their shape for a long time, attractive appearance.
For example, Hot Bikram Yoga classes are held in the so-called hot room with a temperature of 38-40C, imitating the climate of India. When performing asanas in such a room, profuse sweating occurs, which helps to cleanse the body. Therefore, clothing for this practice should be light, breathable, quick-drying, for example, made of microfiber, as open as possible so not to interfere with heat exchange.
The same requirements apply for Inferno Hot Pilates classes and Baptiste Power Yoga, which also take place in the hot room.
Jivamukti yoga workouts are quite dynamic and are characterized by the fact that asanas smoothly transition from one to another, so it is better to choose tight-fitting leggings, since wider trouser legs can interfere with free movement. Hatha yoga is more focused on asanas related to coordination and breath control, so it is important that the clothes are moderately spacious and without tight elastic bands.

Tips for choosing clothes
The first recommendation is not to use a traditional tracksuit for this, which will be uncomfortable for performing stretches.
It is worth giving up a top with sleeves that can constrain the movement of the
hands.
Wide shorts, straight trousers, bloomers are things that will be uncomfortable when performing inverted asanas, exposing underwear at the same time.
Free breathing and blood circulation provide light, elastic things that can adapt to the curves of the body. It is better to use things made of high-quality mixed fabrics that allow the skin to breathe, easy to care for and will not lose their attractive appearance after a couple of washes.
Various additions like pockets, velcro, laces, buttons, jewelry made of rhinestones can disturb you from concentrating on doing exercises.
To understand how comfortable it is in the chosen outfit, it is worth putting on a set and trying to move at home, performing intense movements or doing stretching.
This will help not only to evaluate the clothes in terms of comfort, but also to check the reliability of the seams.
Our experts advise that when choosing, pay more attention not to brands or fashion trends, but to your own comfort.
