Choices in bikram yoga clothing evolve as self-perception transforms over time in that very hot room. Suddenly you need new hot yoga clothes and find yourself at Athleta trying on hot yoga shorts. I invite you to shed old ideas and experience a new you.

You can technically wear anything to a hot yoga class, and people do. The womens workout clothes you already own will do. Guys can wear their mens yoga clothes. I once saw a lady wearing a full-on bathing suit you’d wear for swimming laps.

But once you experience the look, feel, and wicking magic of “real” hot yoga clothes, it’s hard to go back.

Good Bikram Yoga clothes accomplishes the following:

• Keeps all them important parts covered and in place as you contort. You shouldn’t have to feel self-conscious or readjust clothing.
• Wicks moisture. Your yoga clothes will be wet at the end of class, but you won’t feel thick and clammy (like swimming in jeans)
• Makes you feel like a bikram yoga rock star: You look in the mirror and think, “Yeah! That’s me, and I’m doing this!”
• Can withstand the rigors of frequent washing and still hold its color and form well

There are many great brands and great places to shop for yoga clothes.
