How to Dress for Yoga Classes in a Tropical Place

When visiting Costa Rica for a relaxing getaway, doing yoga is a great way to relieve stress. The warm, tropical climate of the country may be different from your usual yoga environment. These tips will help you to dress for comfort so you can make the most of your yoga sessions.

Running Shorts
A pair of running shorts helps to keep your critical body parts covered while still allowing you the flexibility that you need in order to do any pose as instructed by the yogi. Running shorts are not only designed for allowing flexibility in your movements, but also provide maximum breathability and will wick away moisture as you sweat.

Cotton or Linen Shirt
Cotton blends and linen are breathable fabrics that are loosely woven. These fabrics offer supreme comfort in the tropical environment of Costa Rica. You can choose a shirt with short sleeves, spaghetti straps, or a tank top style for maximum movement of your elbows and shoulders. Pick a light color if you plan to do yoga outside. Light colors reflect the sun’s energy rather than absorb it.

Undergarments
Men should wear a compression garment to ensure comfort and modesty during a yoga session. Women may be most comfortable in a sports bra or a tank top with a built-in shelf bra for support. Women may also wish to choose undergarments specifically made for running or yoga. These pieces of foundation clothing are specifically designed to pull moisture away from the body.
