What do I wear in my yoga class

Loose Clothes

Wearing loose fitted clothes, allows your skin to breathe and sweat. A very important process to remove toxins from your body. Such clothes will not hinder blood circulation, and eventually, each cell in your body will be flourished with nutrients, hormones, and oxygen. One needs to stay healthy and hygienic. Loose fitting will ensure freedom in the movement while performing asana or pranayama.

Natural fiber Clothing

It is important to wear cotton or linen clothes. These materials will keep your body cool. Body temperature is maintained to the optimum. It will not bring any kind of rashes or allergies to your skin creating a perfect environment for your body.

White or light colours

white cotton clothes work the best while practising yoga. Thus, it will create a calming and peaceful environment. Try to perform one session by wearing loose, white and cotton clothes and experience it yourself. You will feel the difference and get deeper into the practice of yoga.

What to bring in class

You can bring yourself with a positive and open mind. A yoga mat, a thin blanket and socs in winter or for the final relaxation. All classes are of 1hour. It is normally advised to be able to practice a minimum of three times a week to make progress and be able to experience the benefits, but if you can only come once or twice a week that’s ok too. The more you can practice the better!
