  • Sports bras: Not only do they allow you to feel fully supported during your workout, but out they are also great for absorbing sweat.

What to Wear to Yoga or Pilates?

The best yoga clothes for women are all about being flexible and breathable. A well fitted top or sports bra is needed so that it doesn’t come over your head and interrupt your lesson, especially when you are stretching out in a downward dog position. Paired with some tall active leggings you’re all set as these classes don’t require shoes.
