For beginners, clothing is the most basic equipment. We can often see that the movements of yoga are softer and larger, so the yoga practice clothes must not be too tight. Clothes that are too close to the body are not good for the ductility of the action. The yoga clothes we see are basically tight and loose. Jackets are usually tight, but pants are definitely loose. This is to facilitate movement. As long as the coat can wear its own temperament, while the pants are mainly loose and casual.

Comfortable and natural.

If you have seen the old photos of Indian yogis, you will see that men (Indian tradition is that only men can practice yoga) are almost naked, and only the lower body is wrapped in a piece of cloth. Yes, that's a traditional yoga suit. But it's comfortable to wear like this, but it's not necessarily appropriate.

So, what should modern people wear? In my experience, it is still comfortable, natural and practical. Everyone knows that comfort is natural, but what does the so-called functional orientation mean?

Because yoga has a lot of big body stretching movements, and it is not limited to several angles, it is very breathable and comfortable to wear loose and comfortable clothes made of cotton and linen, but sometimes it feels tied because of the inflexibility of the fabric. In addition, because in our movements, there may be shoulders standing, head and feet posture, if clothes and pants are too loose, there will be a dilemma of sliding down, but the abdomen or legs will be exposed.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm used to wearing fabrics that absorb moisture and sweat. Although this material is not pure natural, it has one advantage: after sweating, its perspiration is indeed better than cotton and linen, and it will not stick to the body because clothes and trousers are wet, which may lead to eczema and more discomfort over time. There are many kinds of fabrics that absorb moisture and sweat. I suggest you compare different qualities and choose the one with finer texture and better elasticity. Some fabrics are heavy chemical fiber, which seems to be wrapped in thick nylon cloth, so it is the next choice.

Protect navel from exposure

Due to the rapid growth of yoga population, more international manufacturers are investing in the production and sale of so-called yoga clothes. Some friends will ask, what is the difference between yoga clothes and general rhythmic clothes? In fact, there is almost no difference between the two materials, and the style is similar. It's really hard to tell what a real yoga suit is. But I think the biggest difference between the so-called yoga clothes and rhythmic clothes is that the navel should not be exposed as much as possible.

In order to be fashionable and beautiful, many rhythmic clothes will be designed into low-waisted styles. Whether the coat is a short coat of sports bra or a long coat of vest, the navel will be exposed. Although this is visually beautiful, it is not very good for yogis.

Have you ever seen people who practice Tai Chi, Qigong or traditional yoga show their navel? Because we attach great importance to the stress on the abdomen and tighten it at any time, so that the organs and magnetic fields in the abdomen can continue to operate, it is not good for people who pay attention to health if the navel is exposed to air conditioning (even natural wind). So I suggest that whether you wear a longer coat or a higher trouser head, you must cover your abdomen ~

Don't wear it too tightly to protect your navel. I found that most yoga practitioners have one thing in common, that is, they don't like clothes with too many accessories and too tight clothes. Especially the elastic band of underwear, if it is too tight, it will not only feel uncomfortable, but also affect the action of diaphragm and lung cavity expansion when breathing. In addition, if there are ornaments such as ring buckles on the abdomen, it will be more difficult to land on the abdomen like a bow locust, won't it?

Although most of us wear stretch fabrics, in order to show the curve, wearing a smaller underwear will also make our movements Kaka. This is also the difference between yoga clothes and rhythmic clothes: yoga clothes do not necessarily emphasize showing beautiful breasts or slim waist, but attach importance to wearing comfort and being able to do movements.

In addition, I know some girls will wear some ornaments on their hands and necks to make themselves look more beautiful. However, I still suggest that you can take off these ornaments, including rings and necklaces, so that you can relax and do yoga without any burden, and you will not be distracted by these external ornaments ~

As for the length, width or fit of pants? Should I wrap my coat around my shoulders? I don't think it's that important for you to dress well.

Procurement suggestion:

Many MM who want to learn yoga don't know where to buy yoga clothes. First of all, if you choose the cheap one, you can solve it yourself. Generally speaking, we used to wear loose pants with a little elasticity, which can be used as yoga pants, knitted, cotton and linen. Third, go to some fashion brand stores that pursue leisure. We know that the best yoga clothes and pants are best with drawstrings, and the length can be adjusted freely as needed, and such pants can be found in many brands of clothing. As for the coat, there is generally no special requirement, as long as it suits you. In addition, in some underwear brand stores, you can also see the figure of yoga clothes, such as admiring underwear, where you can see professional yoga clothes. Of course, we can go to professional sporting goods stores to buy them. Gyms are generally equipped with standard yoga clothes for everyone to choose from.

For many people who don't like to go out shopping, you can find many yoga clothes on the internet, and you can get what you need with a keyboard.
