Living in the social media era, we’re constantly exposed to other people's health-conscious lifestyles. It’s no surprise that Yoga has exploded in popularity over the past few years. With moreandmore people focusing on their mental health, the benefits of a regular yoga practice are quite convincing. As if that wasn’t enough, we can now access hundreds of yoga exercise videos at the push of a button, all from the comfort of our own living room. With so many new yogis’ on the scene, many have been searching for the perfect sports bra. And although yoga is deemed a low-impact workout, the nature of the practice requires you to hold some rather interesting poses for long periods. It’s essential to wear the right bra during your workout, regardless of whether you’re in a studio or your living room.
You might be tempted to wear your regular bra when heading to your next yoga class. But, wearing a sports bra is key to being comfortable and a serene practice - think about those 60-90 minute hot yoga classes, sweat is dripping down your forehead, and you’re breathing through intense discomfort. Make things a little easier on yourself by wearing the right bra. But, it’s not just all about finding a comfortable bra.
A good sports bra minimises breast pain by reducing breast movement while you’re exercising. Most breast pain during exercise is a result of your breasts not being supported properly. The best sports bra will move with your body while your body stretches and bends. It should also have sweat-wicking properties, so you don’t have to put up with being sweaty after classes. Trust us when we tell you that our sports bras are tried, tested and exercise approved!
