Winter Yoga in Style: how to dress for an outdoor practice

Lucky Indian gurus never experienced one tiny problem all New Zealand yogis face every year: IT IS NOT SUMMER ALL THE TIME!! Though freezing temperatures might make you stay in bed all day, there are even more reasons to practice outdoor yoga in winter.

Did you know that when it’s cold outside we tend to suffer from osteoarthritis more, for example? Yoga poses lower the risk of pain. It gets the blood moving to prevent you from stone cold fingers and toes as well. Needless to say, winter yoga also gives you many opportunities to experiment with style! So what should be in your wardrobe?

Add some colour

Because, seriously, it is dark and depressing outside enough, don’t add to the winter mood by wearing safe black sets. Tattoo prints are among the hottest trends this season. If Etro can do it, you can too!

Wrap up

We are healthy, not crazy. If you plan to stay outdoors for a while, make sure you have something above this trendy bra top! And please, let it be anything but cotton. Yes, cotton breathes, but it also dries extremely slowly, so after sweating through the first couple of minutes you’ll be freezing for the rest of the workout.
