When your arms are wrapped around each other in eagle arms and your pants begin to slip, it\u2019s impossible to adjust without coming out of the pose completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you spend more time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/live\/yoga-poses-any-body-can-enjoy\/\">perfecting your pose<\/a> and less time adjusting your clothes, we\u2019re breaking down exactly what makes up the perfect plus-size yoga outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"520\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/wellness\/the-perfect-yoga-outfit\/?tp_image_id=7753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/gutenberg-blog-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ingredients-yoga-outfit-half-top.jpg\" alt=\"Fitted yoga top.\" class=\"wp-image-7753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ingredients-yoga-outfit-half-top.jpg 400w, https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ingredients-yoga-outfit-half-top-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ingredients-yoga-outfit-half-top-300x390.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An Upside Down-Friendly Top<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re in a handstand or a downward dog, the last thing you want to do is come out of your pose to adjust your gapping top. Your arms have an important job to do, and adjusting your top shouldn\u2019t take priority. While working out in an oversized T-shirt is something that a runner could get away with, yogis should look for&nbsp;fitted tops. Additionally, if you\u2019re busty, you may feel more comfortable in a top that doesn\u2019t have a low neckline as many poses require crossing your arms in front of your body and the inversions may leave you feeling like your breasts are on display when you\u2019re upside down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some features to look for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Stretchy fabric<\/strong> that will stay fitted against the body, even while upside down.<\/li><li><strong>Moisture-wicking fabric<\/strong> that will keep you dry, especially for those Bikram classes.<\/li><li><strong>Higher necklines<\/strong> that will keep you covered so you don\u2019t feel like your cleavage is always visible, especially in those inversion poses.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"520\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/wellness\/the-perfect-yoga-outfit\/?tp_image_id=7754\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/gutenberg-blog-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ingredients-perfect-yoga-outfit-bottoms-half.jpg\" alt=\"Fitted yoga pants.\" class=\"wp-image-7754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ingredients-perfect-yoga-outfit-bottoms-half.jpg 400w, https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ingredients-perfect-yoga-outfit-bottoms-half-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ingredients-perfect-yoga-outfit-bottoms-half-300x390.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pants That Stay In Place<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like when it comes to our everyday denim and leggings, it\u2019s crucial to find activewear pants that stay up, and that can remain in place as your body is stretching and moving from pose to pose. Transitioning from chaturanga to upward dog can result in your high-waisted leggings rolling down, requiring you to stop and adjust. The right pair of yoga pants won\u2019t roll down, even when you\u2019re sweaty at the end of a tough class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with all plus-size yoga clothing, the right pair of pants will also allow you to move and contort your body from pose to pose without restricting you or digging in. However, a pair of really flowy pants that are far from restrictive can create their own issue of gaping when upside down or even of stepping on your own pants in certain poses. The ideal pair of yoga pants can both move with you and stay in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some features to look for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>High-waisted pants<\/strong> that come up over the hips and belly button. Before you buy a pair, try them on and do a vinyasa flow in them (even if that\u2019s in the fitting room!) to make sure that they don\u2019t fall down.<\/li><li><strong>Stretchy fabric<\/strong> that moves with you from pose to pose without digging in or restricting your body.<\/li><li><strong>A fitted silhouette<\/strong> so you don\u2019t catch yourself stepping on the fabric of your own pants, so you and your teacher can see your form more clearly, and so your pants don\u2019t slide down in an inversion.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a beginner yogi taking your first class or an avid practitioner, the right yoga outfit can make your experience so much better. Ultimately, the best yoga outfit is one you never notice or have to adjust! No matter if your pose is upside down, right-side-up, or side plank, your clothing shouldn\u2019t come out of place or restrict you from fully expressing a pose. If you\u2019re a yogi, whether a beginner or a regular, make sure to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\"> let your Dia Stylist know<\/a> exactly what activities you\u2019re doing and what styles you\u2019d like to help you perform the best you can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While straight size yogis have countless clothing options (think: one-piece bodysuits and the trendiest styles and prints), historically, plus-size yogis haven\u2019t had the same options, and sometimes have to settle for wearing tees and leggings to the yoga studio.
