Yoga Apparel
Women's Athletic Clothes
Women's yoga apparel should always be comfortable, breathable, and functional. As many women now prefer to workout in private gyms and yoga studios, they are interested in yoga clothes that are attractive and versatile as well. Most yogis look for several basic pieces that can be worn as a group, or solo for more casual wear.
Yoga Tops
Probably the most versatile piece of your yoga clothes should be the tank or shirt. A yoga top should be form fitting and moisture-wicking, allowing you to check your posture and body alignment during your workout. Many women enjoy wearing a camisole or halter, as these tops typically include a built-in bra and offer the ultimate in ventilation. InSport's Tranquility Print Halter is a perfect example of this type of top. The Tranquility Print Halter sports a bright, moisture-wicking fabric in a body-hugging fit. A more versatile top is the Art of Living Flow Tank by Shiva Shakti. A long revered name in the yoga apparel industry, Shiva Shakti's Flow Tank is form-fitting with a knotted v-neckline. This yoga top features an extremely soft fabric hand that ultimately eliminates any chafing or discomfort. For those women who prefer a little more coverage, we offer a variety of tees and shirts. Most yoga tees will still have a slightly tighter fit than an average tee; however, a yoga tee will be longer and more breathable. The Florence Lustreknit Tee by Latitude is a good example of yoga clothing that is comfortable yet fashionable. This rayon tee boasts a trendy tie-dye design in a soft, lightweight fabric. Easily worn as a casual piece also, the Lustreknit Tee is a favorite among Fit'n Pretty yogis!
Yoga Pants
Your yoga pants are certainly the most essential piece of yoga apparel! Yoga pants should never be binding and should allow you to move freely in a variety of positions. No woman wants a yoga pant that will ride up, chafe, or make her feel self-conscious; so fabric content and style are key factors in determining which pant is right for you. For a free-wheeling, sporty look, many women choose Marika's Kerala Pant. Constructed in a lightweight cotton/rayon blend fabric, the Kerala Pant features a side drawstring waistband and a comfortable cropped length. Best of all, the Kerala Pant easily crosses over into casual wear for those of us who simply don't have the time to change out of our yoga clothes. Many yogis prefer a more form-fitting pant, like Shiva Shakti's Expand Your Branches Foldover Yoga Pant. Designed with a foldover waistband and a slightly flared leg, this pant brings extreme comfort to your next yoga session. Especially nice, the pima cotton fabric content is soft, lightweight, and definitely as comfortable as your favorite pair of pj's. For those of us wanting as little constriction as possible, we suggest Hind's Staple Fitness Short. A compression short with a 5" inseam, the Staple Fitness Short provides maximum moisture management while keeping you cool and under control. We like the versatility of this short, as it can easily born worn for running or workout wear too.
