Which Yoga Clothes Are Best For Bikram Yoga?
If you haven't heard of Bikram Yoga, it is one of the newer members of the yoga world. It is often referred to as "hot house" yoga because it is practiced in yoga studios that have the temperature turned up as high as 105 degrees. These rooms also have a humidity level of 40%. We're talking hot here, folks.
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.
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.
As you know, yoga is a system of mind and body unification but really, most people just use it as a vigorous exercise for toning up their bodies and centering their spirit. Even so, don't you want to look good, even when practicing yoga? There's nothing wrong with that, I think.
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.
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. - 17269
