What to Wear for Yoga
Soft, stretchy clothes that move with you through every pose.
Yoga is about flexibility and breath — your clothes need to move with you without getting in the way.
What you need
The essentials
High-waisted leggings
Stay put during inversions and stay opaque in folds.
A light-support bra
Comfort without bulk.
A fitted or loose top that stays in place
Nothing falls over your head mid-downward dog.
Nice to have
A non-slip mat
Once you move beyond studio mats, for home practice.
A yoga strap or blocks
Helpful for beginners working toward deeper stretches.
Worth spending on
One pair of buttery-soft, high-waisted leggings. Beyond that, yoga is one of the cheapest activities to kit out.

Common Beginner Mistakes
Wearing a baggy top that falls over your head in inversions
Choosing leggings that are not opaque in deep folds
Over-thinking it — yoga builds flexibility, it does not require it
