“Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter the flame”

  1. K. S. Iyengar, Founder of Iyengar Yoga 

Yoga impacts all aspects of our being – mind, body, and soul. Perhaps, that explains its enduring appeal. But to help yoga help you, you must give it your undivided attention, which is a tad difficult if you are focusing on the sweat running down your spine or worrying about the elasticity of your pants while practicing your asanas. That’s why it’s important to dress right for yoga.

Thankfully for us, we have brands that are focused on designing yoga wear to make our lives easier, like the two that we have on our radar today – Lululemon Athletica, an international label, and Proyog, an India-based brand.
