How Yoga Can Benefit You

Filed under: Energy, Workout, Yoga, Yoga Clothing — Wellicious @ 12:45 pm

The practice of yoga has been notable throughout history.  Types of meditative yoga are thought to have been practiced as early as 500BC.  Today, the pastime is increasing in popularity year by year.  Yoga classes are ubiquitous throughout the country, and yoga wear and related fashions are not just limited to the studio.  It is a simple yet effective exercise with many physical and mental benefits.
Yoga has physical benefits for the entire body.  Flexibility can be increased considerably, including in areas of the body rarely used on a day to day basis, let alone exercised.  To really reap these benefits it’s important to have the correct yoga wear.  Cool, loose-fitting yoga clothes will allow your body to stretch to its maximum.
Yoga does not only make a difference on the inside.  The gentle stretching required for yoga poses an optimum blood supply to flow throughout the body.  This can detoxify the whole body which, not only increases energy, but can lead to younger looking skin.  It is also an extremely effective method of shedding excess flab and toning and lengthening muscles.
There are also mental benefits of practicing yoga.  Yoga can help the mind and body to work in synchronisation.  The meditative state achieved by yoga can help to attain calmness and a positive outlook, thereby reducing stress, in turn reaping physical benefits to the body.
So, invest in some high-quality Wellicious yoga clothes, head down to your nearest class and realise these positive benefits for yourself.

The Benefits of Cashmere

Filed under: Cashmere, Loungewear — Wellicious @ 12:44 pm

Cashmere is considered to be the most luxurious of natural fibres.  It is made from the wool of the Kashmir goat, and can take between 3 and 6 fleeces to make one regular sized jumper, with the softest wool coming from the underbelly and the throat.  Cashmere clothing has been popular with fashion-conscious women for generations because of its classic styling and durability.
Cashmere is extremely lightweight and comfortable.  It creates clothes that are easy to wear and not bulky.  Cashmere wool is extremely adaptable, making it simple to be woven into a variety of styles.  Naturally, cashmere comes in white, grey and brown, but it can easily be dyed fashionable, bright colours.  This makes cashmere the fabric of choice for people of any age or taste.
Today, cashmere is a popular fabric for loungewear.  It feels incredibly snug and lush against your skin.  It has some natural stretch, meaning that you can move easily when wearing it.  One of the major benefits of cashmere clothing is it’s adaptability to temperature, due to the high moisture content of the wool.  In the winter it will keep you warm and insulated, yet it will ensure you stay cool in the summer.  Cashmere is also extremely long lasting.  If it is properly cared for, an item of cashmere clothing will last a lifetime.
Wellicious has an excellent range of cashmere in a massive variety of breath-taking colours and on-trend styles.  They can easily meet all your loungewear needs.

Trends in Loungewear and Yoga Wear

Filed under: Yoga, Yoga Clothing — Wellicious @ 12:42 pm

Yoga is an increasing popular way of exercising.  It’s extremely effective and accessible to all.  But it’s not just in the studio where yoga wear can be seen.  Walk along any high street and you’ll notice scores of women wearing yoga inspired garments.
The increase in popularity of loungewear and yoga wear is due to their ability to be extremely flattering yet comfortable at the same time.  There is more of an emphasis on clean lines and fashion-forward styles than in traditional workout wear, and they are often made using high quality materials such as cashmere or organic cotton.  This makes them suitable to be worn at all times.
A major yoga inspired trend that has filtered down to the high street is the harem pants.
These are trousers, usually made of a soft, flowing material, that are gathered around the ankle or just below the knee.  These are extremely flattering for women of all sizes, and are ideal for yoga because they provide a full range of movement and help you to stay cool. They can even be dressed up with heels to take you through to the evening.
Bright colours are a major current trend in yoga and loungewear.  Wellicious has a massive range in a variety of colours not often seen in yoga wear.  Their styles will please those with any taste, from the most conservative to the most outgoing.  They use organic, ethically traded cotton, so you can feel reassured you’re being socially responsible while enjoying your new yoga wear.

How Yoga Wear Can Enhance Your Workout…

Filed under: Yoga, Yoga Clothing — Wellicious @ 9:10 am

Yoga is a popular and effective exercise for increasing flexibility, toning muscles and burning fat.  As with all exercise, when you begin practicing yoga, it is vital that you have the correct clothes. The most important thing to consider when choosing yoga clothing is their flexibility. Yoga wear should not restrict your movement in any way. You should also be aware that, the more advanced you become with yoga, the more your flexibility will increase. Your yoga wear should also allow for this. On the other hand, yoga clothing should not be too loose either, as this could get in the way when performing certain poses. Something that stretches and adapts to your movements is ideal. The material of your yoga clothes should also be taken into account. Although you may not think of yoga as a not sweaty exercise, it is called a workout for a reason! Choose thinner materials that will keep you cool and hold sweat away from the body. Ideal materials are cotton, Lycra or even cashmere. These materials are light, stylish and easy to wear, and fit the body well.  You could even layer a wrap or loose T-shirt over your yoga clothing, which can easily be slipped off when your body starts to warm up. Colour can also be important, with bright colours such as red are thought to have positive mental effects, and can even help you remain upbeat throughout your workout. This makes Wellicious‚ a range of exciting, brightly coloured clothes the ideal choice!

Yoga for Stress Relief…

Filed under: Stress — Wellicious @ 9:02 am

Stress is something we all suffer from at some point in our lives. The human body is able to undergo a huge amount of stress and still heal itself. This speed of this process is increased though if we help it along by finding ways to relax. Yoga is perfect for this. Yoga exercises blend stretching with deep breathing. This helps to loosen tense muscles and relieve stress on the discs and joints of the spinal column. The act of stretching the muscles aids in removing toxins from the body. It is vital the comfortable yoga clothes are worn to allow the body to stretch effectively. Deep, yogic breathing allows more oxygen to enter the bloodstream.  This not only helps to create a feeling of relaxation, but can also fight infection and help the body heal itself. Wearing light yoga clothing can help to stay cool and relaxed during a workout. The meditative aspects of yoga also assist in the relief of stress. When the mind is in a meditative state, it is not distracted by outside disturbances. This is an ideal time to view and contemplate any fluctuations in your emotions, helping not only to relieve stress, but find the root causes of it. Yoga combines all the stress reducing benefits of controlled breathing, stretching and meditation. It relives and rejuvenates tired muscles, while releasing the body of negative energy and replacing it with positive energy. It is an effective method of coping with the stress we have in our everyday lives.

How to be Stylish in Yoga Clothes…

Filed under: Yoga, Yoga Clothing — Wellicious @ 8:48 pm

So, you’re a stylish girl, and you don’t like blasé clothing. But if you’re going to take yoga lessons, how can you look stylish in yoga wear? Some yoga wear can be highly unflattering, and the stereotype colour choices are  fairly masculine, like black, blue, or white. But yoga clothes don’t have to be ugly or boring. If you know what’s out there, you can purchase yoga clothes that suit your personality and style like for example with Wellicious. Why not turn up at your first class looking absolutely amazing? So, what is out there? Did you know that yoga clothes come in girly colours like canary yellow, papaya and strawberry pinks, and misty jade? And why settle for a plain top when you can get a crisscross, strappy tank or an empire waist top tied with a bow? You can even get tops with fancy lettering. Yoga pants don’t have to be normal track suit pants either. You can get girly cotton leggings and trendy, wide leg jersey pants with stain waistbands. You can even get multi length pants that convert to knee length shorts. Or, if you prefer, sexy all-in-one cat suits are very stylish and figure flattering. For the locker room, or on the drive to class, you’ll want some kind of wrap or cover-up. Long, gathered wraps are very feminine and flattering. Or, for more sporty types, a trendy hoody in your favourite colours is also very stylish. Whatever your personality and tastes, there are many choices in stylish yoga wear. Have a look at our Wellicious boutique.
