Which Yoga Clothes Are Best For Bikram Yoga?
One of the newer yoga systems around today is Bikram Yoga. Often called "hot house yoga" because it is performed in studios where the heat has been turned up to around 105 degrees. As well these rooms will have a relative humidity of as much as 40 percent. I' mean to tell you these places are hot!
Bikram Yoga is named for its founder, Bikram Choudhury, which he based on the classical yoga style. It uses 26 postures, or asanas, and 2 breath work patterns, or pranayama. Other people have copied this system as it has become so popular.
Clearly every yoga class is going make you sweat but with the high temps in Bikram Yoga studios, you know that you are REALLY going to pour it out. So, one might ask, what should I wear to these classes?
Without a doubt your first consideration should be comfort. And they must be functional as well. Freedom of movement is a necessity so you are not restricted in any way. And please, buy a nice fabric that feels soft against your skin.
Because you know that you will sweating a lot more in a Bikram class than in others, look for an absorbent pair of yoga pants and top. Some fabrics are better than others for this. Nobody enjoys that soaked and clammy feeling of wet yoga clothing.
You know that yoga is supposed to be a system of unifying your mind, body, and spirit, but lets face it; most people just use it as a good exercise for toning the body and centering your awareness. Given that fact, doesn't it seem fine to want to look good while you're practicing it?
Of course you could always stay at home to practice, sitting around in your Grateful Dead T-Shirt and Bermuda shorts. But since you've worked as hard as you have to look as good as you do, why not show it off?
So, maybe you want to shop around for some tight form fitting little number to wear to your Bikram Yoga class. Sure, let everyone see those deft lines and slinky curves as you tie yourself up those pretzel like poses.
The thing is that these yoga clothes let your instructor see if you are doing the postures correctly or not. - 17274
