Men in yoga pants is HAPPENING
Unlike other forms of fitness, yogis can get by without high-end running shoes and similar workout attire. Even so, you will want to chose your yoga-wear wisely for optimal comfort and flexibility while you are practicing. The wrong yoga clothes can leave you distracted from what should be a cathartic and rewarding experience.
You will have more fun and you will be able to devote your full attention to your alignment and breathwork with the right attire.
Tips for Choosing the Right Yoga Pants for Men:
– Try on your potential garments and give yourself a good look in the mirror.
– Practice a few quick poses, using a full range of motion. Are your clothes too loose? Do they sag or slide up?
– See if you are able to move freely without yanking, tugging or making adjustments to your clothing.
– If your usual fitness wear won’t work, talk to a yoga instructor and ask for advice as to where to shop for men’s yoga clothes in your area. He or she might even have the scoop on a sale.
Fool-Proof Fabric
When selecting your male yoga clothes, be mindful of the fabric. Of course, finding clothing that won’t hamper your movements is crucial, but the right fabric will make your yogic experience the best it can be. A breathable cotton fabric or anything with lycra for ultra-stretchability is ideal.
And while a T-shirt might seem appropriate, you’ll fare better with something that’s sleeveless. If you have a comfortable pair of old basketball shorts or well-worn cotton shorts, you might try purchasing cycling shorts to wear underneath — if that doesn’t feel too layered.
In the end, finding the right yoga pants for men will be a breeze. Having an outfit that does not impede your movement or interfere with your mat work will make your yoga class more enjoyable. You might even be able to meditate afterwards!
Here are three reasons men should wear yoga pants.
1. Variety
Seriously, there isn’t anything denim makers can do that’s close to the patterns found on yoga pants these days.
2. Body Awareness
Men tend to regard their body as having three not particularly well connected parts, the head, the feet and well, you know, genetalia. Form conscious clothing forces men to recognize the silhouette, the ahem, hourglass, and yes, wrestle with the inadequacies and insecurities that come with that recognition.
Yes, this may mean that people might see the outline of your dick. Guess what, nobody except you cares about the size of your dick. The measure of a man is what’s inside, not what’s hanging between his legs. In fact, you’d be far better off wearing a hoodie or t-shirt that covers that part of your physique; it will make you look less narcissistic and less predatory.
3. Structure
Men are far less likely than women to store fat in the thighs area, so men tends to have shapely legs. Yoga pants will let men lead with a distinctive physical strength rather than a commonplace bland attitude.
