Men's Yoga Apparel

Men's yoga apparel can take numerous forms. Before diving into yoga apparel for men, let's look at what kind of apparel is best for yoga.

Yoga focuses on utilizing differing degrees of relaxation and activation of the body's muscles to better center your body's flow of energy. The side effects of continued yoga participation are reduced stress, increased flexibility, increased energy, decreased body fat and increased sense of well being. A very common use of yoga is to reduce stresses associated with daily activities such as work, family, emotional and mental. Stress can manifest itself as a large host of problems, from health complications like elevated blood pressure to emotional/mental difficulties such as depression.

Yoga involves placing the body in specific positions for extended periods of time. Some positions are simple and feel relaxing. Other are very strenuous and require strength, endurance and flexibility to properly perform. Yoga apparel must allow free movement, and not hinder through inflexible fabrics or those that are too tight. Classical yoga wear made of non-stretching woven fabrics, like cotton, are made loose to accommodate the yoga movements. Modern yoga wear utilizes spun fabrics, made from cotton, polyester, rayon and spandex, to allow more form fitting styles without hindering movement.

The best shirt you could get would be one that loose enough to not inhibit movement, but form fitting enough so excess fabric doesn't catch. Triblend material, a blend of polyester, cotton and rayon, is a great choice. The triblends, typically around 50% cotton, and 25% polyester and rayon, provide plenty of stretch, are ultra soft and breath really well due to the polyester and rayon contents. They come in a multitude of styles from tanks to crewnecks to vnecks. Fibre and Ruha has a great new Spring 2011 line that features the use of triblend shirts. Their focus is on ultra comfortable men's apparel, most of which are perfect for men's yoga apparel. They are not only stylish and will boost your confidence when wearing them, the shirt styles themselves are perfectly suited for yoga. They provide comfortable confidence

Discharge is a method of screen printing that removes the dye color of the shirt in the pattern of the design. After the first wash, there is absolutely no feel to the print. It literally becomes part of the shirt, resisting fading, wear and embellishing it without feeling it's presence.

Fibre & Ruha uses discharge on their shirts, making them some of the most luxuriously soft shirts for men out there.
