Are you a yoga practitioner (for a long time or as a beginner) and are you looking for the best possible yoga outfit? The one that will allow you to feel comfortable, at ease and even joyful during your sessions? Good news, you are in the right place! Here are some tips for choosing the best yoga outfit , the one that will suit you, bring you fluidity and allow you to “return to yourself”.
How to choose the right yoga outfit? The essentials
You understood it well, practicing yoga allows you to offer yourself a moment just for you . An ode to your own body, to your alignment and inner balance.
In yoga, there is no race for performance... Simply a wonderful return to oneself.
This is why I invite you to choose your best yoga outfit based on these 3 criteria:
- be comfortable in movements,
- feel comfortable,
- please yourself in your outfit (and embrace your uniqueness).
The right yoga outfit allows you to fully concentrate on the postures and breathing, offering you optimal comfort throughout your sessions.
The criteria for choosing your best yoga outfit
1 - The choice of materials
First of all, I recommend that you choose a yoga outfit made from breathable and stretchy materials to ensure comfort and freedom of movement during your sessions.
Fabric like polyester is ideal, especially recycled polyester. It brings the feeling of freshness and lightness during your practice, which allows you to stay focused on your asanas.
Also make sure that the outfit offers good stretch to accompany all your movements. Stretchy materials like elastane allow your outfit to adapt to your body, and not the other way around (that's also really the philosophy of yoga) . And also, guarantee you great freedom of movement without feeling cramped or restricted. You will thus be able to perform yoga postures in complete fluidity, without constraints.
Yoga, more than a physical practice
As I often say, yoga is much more than just a physical practice; it offers a holistic path to well-being.
Indeed, by working on the body through postures and breathing, yoga not only improves flexibility and muscular strength , but also releases accumulated tension.
The most powerful aspect of yoga is its ability to calm and clear the mind. The breathing and meditation techniques used in yoga help cultivate self-awareness, reduce stress, and calm mental fluctuations.
As a result, this creates a larger mental space where one can observe one's thoughts and emotions with detachment, thus promoting inner peace and emotional well-being.
Yoga offers a balanced approach to harmonizing the body and mind, allowing practitioners to feel better as a whole, both physically and mentally.
2- The importance of cuts
The choice of yoga outfit largely depends on the style of practice and personal preferences. The main thing is to prioritize comfort and feel comfortable during the session.
Some people prefer fitted clothing for greater freedom of movement, while others opt for looser outfits for a feeling of increased freedom.
No matter what style of yoga you practice, the main goal is to allow the body to move freely without any discomfort , and why not do it in style? ☺ Ultimately, yoga is a personal experience and everyone should feel comfortable wearing whatever they want in their own second skin (clothing).
Moreover, one of the best-sellers of the Alma Lua range is the Azulejos flare leggings, poetic and comfortable to discover here.
Seamless clothing is also a good choice as it reduces friction and provides extra comfort during yoga poses.
3 - The intensity of your yoga practice
Of course, the best yoga outfit will be the one adapted to the intensity of your practice. Do you practice every day, or once a week? Indoors, or outdoors?
At Alma lua the material is always the same, only the cut changes, cycling shorts for summer and long leggings for winter. But overall the material is light so can be worn in summer and winter ☺
On the other hand, if you practice more dynamic yoga, think about choosing outfits that easily wick away perspiration... The Alma Lua material is very suitable for that!
4 - Beauty and joy in outfits
Finally, one of the criteria that is unfairly underestimated is your taste. It is the beauty of the clothing that you will wear.
I like to see that when you wear printed floral leggings , you feel joyful. Happy! Light! The aesthetic criterion is essential to motivate yourself to practice on days when you have trouble finding the motivation.
An outfit that you love deeply, that reflects a part of your joyful, poetic, unique, gentle or wilder personality… It is essential to have FUN. Don't forget that practicing yoga is like an art of living, a global state of mind. Made of movements (asanas) yes, but not only.
As an invitation to more beauty, lightness, poetry, reconnection to oneself, to nature and to life. 🌱
