It is important to select a yoga wear that is not to tight and uncomfortable to wear. You will be required to stretch out your legs and arms, so ensure that the type of clothing you wear provides you with the freedom to move between poses without tearing. The yoga outfit must not also be too loose as some of the inversion poses will leave you exposed as your top may go over your head. Your yoga wear should consist of a fitting top and yoga pants which will give you the comfort you need as well as allow the instructor to better check your alignment. A Tank top, a Sports bra or a tight fitting T-shirt is great to use however do avoid
