How to Stay Cool and Comfortable in Hot Yoga Classes with the Right Clothing

Hello Pejalan Santai,

Controlling the temperature in hot yoga allows wearing suitable clothing to the class. Select clothes made out of nylon or polyester materials to avoid getting soaked during the event. Wear tight fitting clothes that accommodate the movements for the specific exercise to be performed without constriction.

That is why, at Cosmolle, we realized the need to choose the right clothing for those extremely difficult and hot classes. Below is a brief guide that will help you in choosing the right clothes for hot yoga practice. 

Choosing the Right Outfit 

Here are some of the most popular types of hot yoga: 

• Sports Bras: Choose stylish sports best wireless bra that are comfortable and offer adequate support without making the wearer feel constricted. Opt for materials that allow air circulation and avoid stitching that may cause rubbing; opt for racer back styles for optimum bust envelope and mobility. 

• 
  

• Tops: For your gym outings, choose light and airy tank tops or fitted tees. Mesh panels or cut-outs enhance the flow of air to the body to reduce heat stress while containing as few seams as possible to avoid chafing the skin. 

• 
  

• 

  Bottoms: For bottom wear, high-waist legging or shorts made from stretchable and moisture-control fabric would be best suited. These give support, adjustability, and area coverage so that they remain in position during exercises. 

Special Features to Look For 

• Ventilation: Clothes with mesh panels or laser-cut holes often enhance breathability for the wearer. Facilitating air circulation makes it easy to cool down while performing demanding exercises. 

• Compression: Some yoga wear has compression elements, which enhance blood flow and muscle support. This can be tested especially during the rigid poses of Hot Yoga, which may last several minutes.

  Additional Tips 

• Layering: You could wear a long-sleeved, short-sleeved shirt with activewear leggings to class. This can be useful at the beginning and end of the session, when blood flow may be increased, thus raising the body's temperature. Hoodies should, therefore, be selected so that you can put them on and remove them as and when the need arises. 

• 
  

• Colors: Light colors also help reflect heat, reducing the amount of heat building up in the house. Dark colors again give the home a sleek and stylish look but may need to be more appropriate in the environment where the session is hot yoga. 

• 
  

• Accessories: Other protective gear includes the use of headbands and wristbands to reduce or control moisture. These accessories can restrain hair from falling on the face, thus preserving comfort by preventing moisture on the skin.
