Other essential yoga accessories

Other than the above mentioned essential accessories, you should carry few important items with you while going to yoga.

  • Yoga Mat: Although, yoga studios have extra mats to borrow, but it is always recommended to carry your own to avoid skin infections.
  • Towel: Of course, the most important thing to carry with you is your towel. Yoga causes sweating and using a towel avoid your sweat to slip down on your mat.
  • Water Bottle: It is suggested to take your water bottle with you. Water is vital to survive, you know! Hahahha. Just kidding. Yoga may cause dehydration and water helps you stay hydrated.
  • Hair Band: Don’t practice yoga with open hair. Tie your hair tightly with a rubber band so they will not disturb you while practicing yoga.

Every place has its dos and don’ts. Just like that, when it comes to yoga attire, it also has some dos and don’ts.

  • Shorts are fine when you are doing yoga at your home. But they are not perfect for yoga class. You should be confident and comfortable while doing different poses. Try to wear cropped or full length legging, with comfortable bra and a top tank. Men tend to wear shorts to yoga and you can browse our range of men’s yoga shorts
  • The stuff our yoga attire is made from matters a lot. You should not wear stuffs that causes rashes or itching after sweating. Try to wear moisture-wicking clothes.
  • Avoid light color clothes. They may get revealing after your body sweat. Try some darker colors like black, blue, chocolate brown.
  • Don’t wear revealing top or bra. Your bra and top should not be exposing your neckline. It may create discomfort for you while doing yoga.
