What Yoga Pants Should I Wear To Bikram Yoga?
Bikram Yoga is one of the new kids on the block with respect to yoga systems. It is also popularly called hot house yoga by many. Its called this because typically it is practiced in rooms with elevated temperatures. You will often find the heat in these rooms turned up to a full 105 degrees F with humidity of up to 40%. Now thats hot!
Founded by Bikram Choudhury, this system contains 26 postures (asanas) and 2 breathing exercises (pranayama). Often imitated and sometimes controversial, Bikram Yoga is one of the most popular styles of yoga in the US, particularly with the well to do.
Obviously you will sweat in any yoga class but given the temperatures in the Bikram studios, youre really going to pour it out in their classes. So, what sort of yoga clothes should you wear in 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.
Given the fact that you will sweat more in these classes than in other yoga schools, it is certainly advisable that the fabric in your yoga clothes be particularly absorbent. After all, few things feel as uncomfortable as a sticky, clammy body that is sodden from perspiration.
Although yoga claims to be a unified system of body, mind and spirit, a lot of people practice yoga to tone their muscles and developing greater awareness. Given this fact, is there anything wrong with wanting to look good while you are in your yoga studio practicing your postures?
I mean its one thing to practice at home in an old t-shirt and cut offs but I have to imagine that youve worked hard to look as good as you do and there is nothing wrong with wanting to show the world how you've done it.
This might mean you are looking for something a little form fitting to wear to your Bikram Yoga class. This will show your fine lines AND give you the ability to tie yourself up in the knots that the poses can sometimes feel like.
This way the yoga clothes allow your teacher to be able to see exactly if you are performing the postures correctly or not. - 17273
