What Kind of Clothes Should You Wear For Yoga?

Traditionally in India, people did not wear stitched clothing. Both the dhotis for men and the saris for women are just pieces of unstitched cloth.

When clothing is stitched, the movement of energy gets restricted to some extent – you want to minimize that when doing sadhana.

This does not mean that you need to start wearing a loin cloth, but yoga practitioners should not wear synthetic clothing such as the kind that athletes wear.

It is best if your clothing is organic – either cotton or raw silk. Since organic raw silk may be too expensive and difficult to get, organic cotton would be the best option. Wool is all right too.


Before starting your sadhana, you should remove any objects from your body, especially metal ones. If you take an image of electromagnetic waves, even a small object will create a certain circulation around itself. If you put any object on your body, it will tend to disturb the free movement of energy. Except for a few parts of the body that are dormant, like the earlobes, any kind of metal should be removed – even nose studs. Only your rudraksh and the snake ring, you can keep on.

Rudraksh is a good support that creates a cocoon of your own energy and makes you available to grace.

For women, if you are using any kind of metallic clips on your spine, that should go. Plastic is better than metal in terms of energy.


For the practices, you must remove your spectacles too. Many people have gotten rid of their glasses through the practice of proper yoga.

For your vision to correct itself, you need to avoid wearing glasses or contact lenses for some time. If you can manage without glasses or contact lenses, try to do so.

In case you get headaches, spend more time with eyes closed. If you are using contact lenses, do at least your morning sadhana without them.

That way, mild vision problems may improve over a period of time.

Dear Prasad ji,

Being in the buff at times can be painful if you are lying on a yoga mat cos the bony points of the body is not covered by clothing and some can have problems and pain at gravity challenged areas with lack of supportive clothing.

I personally feel the workout attire below is the best for all kinds of work out..be it a full cardio workout or yoga.

May be it depends on person to person interest in doing yoga according to the convenience and time factor (Privacy also)

Yoga clothes have to be light, comfortable and help body to stretch. Wearing tight dresses will not facilitate yoga..That's why Dhoti was preferred in yoga!
 
Yoga wearing dhoti! No way, Sir!! Have a look at the maestro Andiappan's dress:/QUOTE]

The famous Yoga Guru Ramdev wears Dhoti in Kaccham fashion...This was quite common...With modern attire Yoga is not taboo but a free flowing dress is better
