If you can’t live without Bikram yoga, regularly attend heated vinyasa classes or just like to work up a sweat during yoga, check out our 4 hot yoga musts. From how to take care of your skin so you get that gorgeous yogi glow to the perfect shorts for your practice, we’ve got you covered.
Feel the heat:
Short and sweet
Short shorts for hot yoga are de rigueur, so get a pair that will not only keep you covered and stay in place, but also wick away moisture and dry fast. We like the Beyond Yoga Women’s Short Short.
Get glowing
You sweat and purge dirt from your pores during yoga, which is great, but if you’re not properly washing before or after, it can wreak havoc on your skin. Follow these hot yoga skin care tips from an esthetician (and hot yogini) to make sure your skin stays clean and clear before, during and after your practice.
Hot hair
If your hair is dry and brittle, it might be from all the sweating during hot yoga. Try this simple and easy all-natural avocado hair mask to boost hydration and shine.
Towel off
Any hot yogi will tell you that investing in a good yoga towel for your practice is a must. Yoga towels help prevent you from slipping and sliding all over your mat—just make sure you go for a skidless version with grips on the bottom, like this YogiToes towel so it doesn’t bunch up while you’re trying to get your flow on.
