Yoga is one of the disciplines you should try, because yoga not only promotes a better physique, but also mental health. With all the many health and wellness trends that keep popping up, yoga is one of the practices that hasn’t changed much, if at all. Nevertheless, there are some exciting yoga trends that you should give a try.

The reason is that this practice has been proven to have numerous benefits. It is therapeutic, promotes weight loss, and even helps athletes better balance their bodies and minds. Thus, it is gaining more and more appeal.
Another thing that makes yoga even more fun, universal and inclusive is the fact that it is merging with many modern fitness trends. These trends also make yoga much better when it comes to improving physical and mental health.

To give you an idea of the healthy yoga trends, here are some modern versions of the practice that can benefit both your mind and body:

Chair Yoga

If you’re new to the practice of yoga and feel that your body is still too stiff and lacks flexibility, chair yoga is a fantastic choice. It is also a good choice if you find it hard to sit on your yoga mat because of your stiffness and inflexibility. With the help of this yoga trend, you can perform asanas that are not so intense.

Moreover, you have to perform them while sitting on a chair. This is a great way to improve your flexibility. Once you notice that your flexibility improves and you feel more comfortable doing the asanas, it’s time to expand your practice and do more intense movements and poses.

Yoga HIIT

Following the success of power yoga, which consists of intense and rigorous poses designed to lose weight, and yogalates, a combination of Pilates and yoga that promotes better stretches and improved flexibility, another trend in the practice has emerged called yoga HIIT.

As the name suggests, it combines the benefits of yoga and HIIT (high-intensity interval training). It is an effective, cardio-intensive workout that stretches and lengthens your body. It trains your flexibility and overall physique. Yoga HIIT also produces results that make you feel good, which also has a positive effect on your mental health.

Family Yoga

Do you have such a hectic daily schedule that you have little or no time for you and your family? Then try the family yoga trend, which allows you to spend more time with your family while doing something that is also good for your health. It’s also good for your mental health as you do this fun exercise with the whole family. Being with your loved ones while trying to improve your body is also a great stress reliever.

Aerial Yoga

Another unique yoga trend that you should definitely try is Aerial Yoga. It is the best choice for those who want to strengthen their core and arms. An aerial yoga session usually lasts between 50 and 90 minutes. It is an effective mood booster and can also shrink your waistline, especially if you do it 6 days a week.

Aerial yoga requires you to perform your poses in a special and unique hammock that rests on the floor. However, it is not necessary to become an acrobat to perform this exercise. You also don’t have to have certain skills to practice tricks and poses in your yoga hammock. You can also learn about this trend by joining classes offered by yoga studios for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

Paddleboard Yoga

Add more fun and excitement to your usual yoga practice by trying it with a paddleboard. Note that this is for advanced and experienced yogis. The great thing about paddleboard yoga is that it can lead to a stronger core and better concentration and balance. You can practice this in the water while standing on a paddleboard. You need to practice having full control of your posture when you perform it.

For some people, activewear is just whatever they find in their drawers. However, for Yoga practices, this can’t be a light subject, since it involves a lot of stretching, breathing, and holding it together for long periods of time. For a lot of new students, Yoga breathing takes the best out of them, and they associate this with their ability to exercise at all and quit rather quickly. This is why you should take your wear very seriously, and we’re here to recommend the top 10 fashion trends and what can they offer according to the type of Yoga you’d like to do.

Before you start reading the list keep in mind that these trends are really open in terms of style, and you can always add your personal touch to all of them. Whatever you feel like a match or not, take the time on this to find inspiration for your own comfort.

Let’s talk classics: Longlines Sports Bras

Once we used to think of sports bras as short and stretchy, and a lot of people would hesitate to use them because of the amount of skin that they showed. However, longliners are here to stay and to offer the same comfort as the classic tops, but with more coverage and a lot of designs to pick from. They have more o less cleavage, longer or shorter straps, different colors, materials, and so on. They are also very combinable!

Super, super high-waisted leggings

Versatile as it can be, these leggings are not the classic high waisted ones, but way more modest. They not only support your core and offer tummy control, but they cover a lot more for those who don’t feel so comfortable showing skin. The fashion part? They work perfectly with a casual jacket, or a jean one and you will be ready to go out for ice cream or lunch.

Personalized activewear

There is no need to look for big brands anymore since now customers have the ability to do their own pieces of clothing, and this includes activewear. In fact, the business is starting to grow, since not only are people doing their own personalized items, but they are building their own brands. Don’t be shy, you can give it a try!   

The big hit: Seamless Activewear

It’s not an onesie, don’t worry. Seams are not absent from these items, they just seem to be hidden. Amazing patterns and fabrics unify with this trend and you will look like an entire trend on yourself. Pick your colors and style, no more plane exercise.

Hoodies

Nothing says “gym” more than a hoodie sweatshirt. For years this trend has been used and it seems to be getting stronger. Is comfortable, practical, and very fashionable, so much so that even the most expensive fabrics can work on this design and your activities will not be affected. In fact, you can look not only for jackets but also hoodie crop tops,  hoodie longline bras, and a lot of more ideas with this timeless style.

High-Performance wear

This is the real stuff, because according to the website brands “will focus on developing and distributing fabrics that inhibit the production and growth of microbes, (…) and with reflective capabilities built into the fabrics, limiting the need for accessory reflectors and lights”.

Matchy-Matchy

The limit is the sky, or not even that. You will see activewear made of not only new and more delicate fabrics but with ruffle designs inspired by dresses, pants, and lingerie. The matchy part is, of course, that both up and down parts will look the same, but you won’t: if you choose this trend get ready to be the standout.

Really- fashionable Bodysuits

The nude bodysuits have been a sensation this 2020, and for next year, the activewear will not be left out. It’s well known that they are not new to this category (flashback to the 90s), the new versions are way better thought of to be more comfortable and smart in fabric. One of the most amazing perks of this trend is that “bodysuits make it easy to go from streetwear to your fitness class”, especially with yoga, you will feel free and ready to stretch your legs and arms without friction.

The classics

For some, the simpler the better. Active sets are easily the easiest trend to put on since they are ready-to-go combinations. For those who do yoga in-between hours, this will do them a big favor keeping them comfortable and fashionable during the exercise. And one of the good parts of this is that all of the brands have classics, so people don’t have to look too hard for them. Also, if you’re still wondering about how much of a classic you can get, we tell you: matching sets, with any fabric you like, combined with whatever shoes you think better. Retro is back, so get crazy!

Joggers and longliners: working from home fashion

A lot of people will still be working from their homes. However, fashion doesn’t stop there, because there is a trend for those whose gyms are not quite functioning yet. Workwear and activewear will fusion and the result will be a combination of joggers and longline bras, this way you can work and do yoga without having to change, it’s the simpler life!

Conclusion

If you find more than one option to be great, try them all! Just like yoga, fashion is flexible and meant to make you feel good about yourself. Try new things, new fabrics, new patterns, seriously mixing is also a trend, AND don’t be afraid of showing your body as it really is, its shape and curves. The only thing that you won’t find in this list is the word “exclusively”, and it is well known that all bodies are worthy of a rocking outfit.
