Bamboo clothing for yoga and pilates
Short answer: For yoga and pilates the clothes have to follow the body without riding up. Bamboo viscose is soft and stretchy, but choose a denser quality so the fabric covers in every position.
Covers in every position
The most important thing about leggings for yoga is that the fabric does not turn see-through when you bend. Choose a denser quality. See bamboo leggings for women.
Tops that stay in place
A top that rides up in inversions is a distraction. Choose a model that sits close to the body. See bamboo tops for women.
Softness matters more than technology
In calm training you sweat less, so comfort matters more than technical moisture transport. See bamboo training clothes for women.
Bra
A soft wire-free model is enough for yoga. See bamboo bra without underwire.
To and from training
A set that can also be worn on the way home saves a change. See bamboo tracksuit for women.
When technical fabric is better
For hard and sweaty training, technical materials hold their shape better. See bamboo versus technical sports fabric.
Washing
Elastane loses its grip through heat. Wash at 40 degrees and avoid the tumble dryer. See the washing guide.
