In the world of yoga, comfort and practicality is key.
The meditative, restorative and strength-building practice promotes flexibility and form, making skin-tight yet seamless activewear which feels like a second skin more idea baggy tanks that’ll immediately rise up in downward dog or (for more experienced yogis) headstands.
We spoke with Alo Yoga’s Yogi Ambassador, Tawny Janae who describes yoga as a “transformative practice that benefits everyone – regardless of age, flexibility, or experience level. Yoga strengthens the body, increases flexibility, and improves posture, but its benefits go beyond the physical.”
Janae continues, “It’s a mindful movement practice that promotes mental well-being, reduces stress, and helps you become more in tune with yourself. Yoga cultivates a deep sense of inner peace, balance, and resilience that can extend into all areas of your life. Whether you’re looking to tone your muscles, calm your mind, or find a sense of harmony, yoga is a beautiful practice that everyone can enjoy and thrive in.”
When it comes to the proper attire for yoga, Janae says, “When you step onto the mat, it’s all about freedom and comfort. I believe in wearing what makes you feel your best as you move through each flow, and Alo Yoga has some great options for that. I love pairing their high-waisted leggings with a breathable sports bra or tank—they really strike a balance between style and functionality.”
“Whether you’re flowing through a heated vinyasa or settling into a deep stretch, it’s important to choose clothes that move with you,” Janae continues. “Soft, stretchy, and sweat-wicking fabrics help keep you comfortable and focused. Ultimately, wear what feels good and supports your practice, allowing you to stay present in the moment.”
