Yoga shirts are designed to provide comfort and freedom of movement when performing even complicated yoga asanas. There are some things you should consider when selecting yoga shirts.
Comfort is important when selecting shirts to wear to yoga class. You want a fabric that allows you to move easily and a cut that won’t restrict movement of the arms and body. A shirt that is too tight or has an odd cut will restrict movement and can impair circulation.
Look for a fabric that breathes well and stretches, such as cotton, spandex or blends of both fabrics. A cotton shirt is a good choice for people who tend to sweat in class or for people taking hot yoga classes.
Yoga shirts tend to be form fitted and there is a good reason for this. It only takes one yoga class in a loose fitting t shirt to find out why. If the shirt is too loose around the waist, it will fall to your chin when you are in downward facing dog.
For this reason, choosing the right size is important when buying a yoga shirt. If you get a size or two larger than you need, the shirt may not stay in place when you need it to.
You can find yoga shirts in a wide range of styles and colors online and in stores, such as Target and Old Navy. The benefit of buying in a store is you can try on the shirt to make sure it fits right. The downside of shopping in a store is the selection is limited.
You can find a large variety of yoga shirts online, but shop around because prices vary widely. Some specialty shops are selling high quality yoga clothes at high prices, but if you shop around you can find good deals. Pay attention to sizing charts and product description pages for information about a specific shirt to help you order the right size.
