Black yoga pants

A good pair of quality black yoga pants should be the staple of any yoga-lover's wardrobe. These can be worn to any yoga class and will be so comfortable you'll want to wear them all day! Black is famed for going with anything, so you can wear your black yoga pants with other stylish yoga clothes and cute gym outfits. The best type of black yoga pants will be seamless for freedom of movement and so that you can stretch, flex, and pose to your heart's desire without being restricted. 

Hot yoga clothes

Hot yoga is the practice taking the globe by storm, having been majorly popularised by Bikram Choudury with his Bikram Yoga. For this type of yoga, you'll want to be careful with what you wear as there's nothing worse than being hot and bothered and uncomfortable in your clothes! Try a loose yoga top like the Sundried Grivola 2.0 layered over a crop top or sports bra. This yoga wear is made from 100% recycled materials, providing superior technical qualities like sweat-wicking and anti-odour capabilities. This means it's absolutely perfect for a sweaty hot yoga session!

Yoga shorts

For your sweaty hot yoga session, you'll also want a pair of comfortable yoga shorts.
