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.

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.

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!

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.

If you’re new to yoga, you may be wondering what you need for equipment and clothing. Whether you’re taking a class or teaching yourself with books or DVD’s, there are a few things you will want to buy before you get started. Yoga clothes are your first priority. You need to wear clothing that is comfortable, semi loose fitting, and breathable. Tight fitting yoga clothing will cause restricted breathing and poor blood flow, and makes it harder to move and stretch correctly. After yoga clothing, you will need a mat. Whether you’re learning at home or in a class, you will find your yoga mat indispensible. You really don’t need a lot of new equipment, but this is something you don’t want to skimp on. Yoga mats are easily obtainable from shops or Web sites where yoga clothes are sold. Next, you might want to purchase a yoga bag. A bag is not necessary, of course, especially if you already have a large duffle bag that you can use, but you may need a roomier bag to accommodate your yoga clothes, mat, and props on the way to classes. And some people like to Finally, you may want to purchase some yoga props. The three most common props are a block, a blanket, and a strap, which are used for certain moves and stretches. However, if you are taking a class, more than likely your instructor will supply you with everything.

Choosing the right yoga clothing can be a bit daunting. There are many choices out there, and many things to keep in mind while deciding, such as material, style, and colours. The material your yoga clothes are made of matters because you need freedom of movement, and better blood flow. For instance, Spandex and other formfitting fabrics make movements and stretches more difficult.  However, keep in mind that clothing that is too loose is not appropriate for yoga classes because your instructor needs to see your body to judge whether you are moving correctly. Above all, make sure you feel comfortable in whatever yoga clothes you choose. The style of yoga clothes you choose should be based on your own comfort level. For tops, some women prefer sleeveless tops and sports bras because they are freeing and allow for very easy movement. But loose fitting short sleeved tops are also acceptable. Men generally wear tank tops or T-shirts. Yoga pants can be long or capris style. Lightweight cotton pants are best, as they absorb sweat during workouts. As far as footwear, most people prefer bare feet for yoga, but if you do want to wear socks and shoes, special yoga ones are available. As far as colours, you should choose colours you like because you will be wearing your yoga clothes regularly. Also, you may want to choose neutral colours so you don’t stand out from the crowd. (Unless, of course, that’s what you want!). At Wellicious you will find the right yoga clothing.

Yoga teaches you how to react to painful situations as opportunities for growth, expansion and success and thus you learn not to run away. If your tendency is to focus on the problem when it arises yoga retrains your mind to focus on the solution. If you run away from pain yoga teaches you how to accept it and then move through it. While you might not want any type of pain in your life, the truth is that pain is pretty much unavoidable. There will always be a squeaking thing you could do without, a person who aggravates you or a life situation that saddens you. Yoga gives you the unique chance to change your reaction patterns and thereby tap into an eternal, abiding peace. The stability of the dedicated yoga practitioner means that peace is possible to experience regardless of what circumstances arrive at the doorstep.

The acceptance of pain as help for purification is sometimes the most difficult step to take along the journey of yoga it is one that will help you move through pain, suffering and injury into healing, peace and joy. After you maintain a steady yoga practice over a long period of time the immeasurable benefits begin flowing through your life. Yoga gives you direction and pointers to show you how to excavate layers of yourself hidden below dirt, debris and toxins, and in doing so you experience the deep peace that is inherent in your nature. Whenever there is tension, stress and unhappiness it is because the connection to your higher self has been lost in the sea of the six poisions and the samskaras. In order for you to transcend these unhappy states of being and experience the true luminosity of self-realization you must first accept the inevitable pains of life as help for purification. Yoga reconnects you with your inner world so that you can make contact with the indescribable space of ultimate knowingness where transformation happens.
