Yoga Style Guide

Whether you’re busy in the office or on the running trail, yoga is a great way to slow down and find moments of calm and clarity.

So, you’ve added a yoga class (or many) to your schedule and now you’re wondering – what should you wear? At ASICS, we believe in the power of movement to foster a sound mind and body, and we are dedicated to supporting you on this journey with high-quality, sustainable, and fashionable yoga gear.

What to look for in your yoga gear

When picking out the right yoga clothing, look for materials and styles that allow you to feel free on the mat. Regardless of the style of yoga you choose, most yoga practices involve bending, stretching, and rotating your body. It’s important that your clothing allows you to perform these movements without restriction, so stretchy material is key.

Another material consideration should be breathability. In some classes (especially heated yoga classes) you might find yourself working up quite a sweat. Your gear material should allow for ventilation and have moisture-wicking properties to help you stay cool in hot flows.

When trying on new styles, you should look for yoga gear that’s as comfortable as possible. Try to stay away from scratchy materials, itchy seams, and clothing that limits mobility. Luckily, ASICS gear is designed with these principles in mind, making it a great choice to build your wardrobe.

Start with support: Choosing the right top

Whether you’re resting in a child’s pose or kicking up to a full handstand, yoga often involves some level of inversion. Because of this, a great yoga session begins with the right support. To avoid loose clothing becoming inconvenient when you’re bending into different postures, many people opt for a sports bra alone or a tight-fitting tank top in class.

You can find a range of ASICS sports bras designed to provide comfort and stability, allowing you to move freely and confidently. A few styles to check out include:

• Women’s ACCELERATE BRA: The ACCELERATE BRA offers medium support with adjustable straps to keep you secure throughout your flow. The soft lower band and clean bonded seams allow you to move comfortably, and the moisture-wicking, quick-drying fabric is perfect for those heated classes or power vinyasas.
• Women’s FLEX BRA TOP: The FLEX BRA TOP is specifically designed for low-impact activities, using a breathable fabric with a thicker band to allow you maximum freedom of movement on the mat.
• Women’s FLEX SEAMLESS BRA: The FLEX SEAMLESS BRA TOP goes one step beyond the FLEX BRA TOP in comfort and uses a ribbed texture, and seamless build to minimize compression and maximize mobility throughout your workout.

Flow through poses: Choosing the right leggings

Leggings and tights are a staple for any yogi, providing the flexibility and support needed for a range of poses. Our latest tights and leggings are crafted to move with you while offering a flattering fit, ensuring you feel supported throughout your practice. A few customer favorites include:

The high-waisted design provides comfortable support without uncomfortable seams, so you can focus inward throughout your practice without any clothing distractions.

Stay cozy year-round: Finding the right yoga jacket

Heading into Fall or Winter shouldn’t mean your yoga practice takes a hit. As the weather cools, layering becomes essential. A comfortable, breathable jacket is a great addition to your yoga wardrobe, offering warmth and comfort without sacrificing style. You can wear your jacket to and from class, or even keep it on throughout your flow. One jacket to check out is the:

• Women’s RIB JACKET: The RIB JACKET features a minimalist aesthetic, providing a clean addition to your yoga style in a way that is functionable and flattering. The ribbed fabric adds a stylish texture, and the fitted design ensures you stay warm without being restricted.
• NAGINO™ RUN SEAMLESS JACKET: Need maximum ventilation during your flow? The NAGINOTM RUN SEAMLESS JACKET might be designed for running, but its breathable material and soft, seamless design make it a great option to keep you comfortable during more intense yoga classes.
