How to Dress For Yoga
Yoga has long been practiced for gaining spiritual, mental and physical strength around the globe. It was originally originated in ancient India several centuries ago, and is one of the six schools of Hindu philosophy.
In today’s world, there are several places, where one can practice Yoga. Many people think that there is a special dress code for practicing Yoga. However, in reality, there is no proper dress code, and one can wear whatever they want to.
Whether you are practicing Yoga at home or in a class with others, one should choose to wear comfortable clothes, which do not become a hindrance in your Yoga poses.
Everyone dress according to their own comfort, but it is better to wear the most comfortable clothes in order to practice Yoga perfectly.

Clothing that binds you from stretching should not be worn, as they restrict your free movement. In addition, make sure that the clothes you are choosing are not too tight to hinder your poses, and not too loose to expose your body to others.

It is recommended to select clothes that are made up of cotton, as cotton gives proper ventilation to your body. In addition, it is also a good absorbent that will eventually help one from keeping the sweat off your body.
