Wearing the right clothes to a yoga class can be vital to feeling comfortable and having a free range of motion while working your way through different poses. Shorts that contain some spandex are beneficial, because they will stretch and move with you rather than against you. It is also essential to wear shorts that will absorb sweat while providing the right amount of coverage, to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions during poses such as standing splits, wide-legged forward bend and dancer's pose.
Reverse Groove Short
Lululemon was founded on the premise of making clothing that people could comfortably wear during yoga class, with the most essential aspects being that the clothing absorbs sweat, stays in place on your body, easily moves with you and is comfortable. Lululemon's Reverse Groove short is one of the more popular items among women practitioners, thanks to its versatility, quality and comfort. The medium-rise, fitted short has a flat waistband and is made of luon, a trademarked, cotton-like material that allows for stretching and support.
Core Short
The Core short is a lululemon favorite among men for any physical activity, and fits comfortably over compression underwear. The lightweight fabric dries quickly after a hot class, and the wicking ability will help men remain comfortable while performing sweaty poses. Features include a drawstring waistband and a back pocket for items such as keys and credit cards.
Mara Knicker
Manufacturer Prana also makes shorts for yoga class that are functional yet attractive. Its Mara Knicker provides plenty of coverage for yoga's tricky poses while keeping you comfortable. The shorts come with a drawstring waist and the polyester-spandex blend allows for quick drying during sweaty classes.
Flex Short
While Prana's Flex short is made for yoga, it can certainly be worn for other activities, including running, soccer, cycling or even just lounging around. The Flex short comes with a built-in Coolmax liner, which provides the same comfort and support as a cycling short-style liner. Features include an elastic waistband and side stash pockets.
