Practicing Pilates on a regular basis has benefits not only to your body but also to your mind. Loved by women and men at any age, it helps improve strength, balance, and flexibility. Through controlled and progressive movements, you can shape and strengthen your body. In order to sustain the challenging postures, you need to focus your mind and breathing which has immense benefits to your mind.

When picking your Pilates outfit, keep in mind comfort and form. You need clothes that are form-fitting so that the instructor can monitor your body alignment, muscle movement, and symmetry. Wearing loose clothing is not the right choice for Pilates, because it will prevent your teacher from tracking your progress and the items could easily ride up or fall during dynamic moves, making you uncomfortable or exposing more than you want to.
Bottoms should fit well and preferably be skin-tight such as yoga pants, track pants, and leggings. Choose slim-fitting pilates tops, tank tops or tight t-shirts.
For extra support, consider wearing a sports bra underneath your top if it does not already have an integrated bra. Our choice would be pairing Practice Yoga Legging with Lotus Racer Yoga Top.
Another important factor to keep in mind is material. When picking out your Pilates clothing, make sure the pieces you select are made of stretchy material that allows you to move easily and freely. Check that the fabric is breathable and soft against your skin to keep you comfortable and dry throughout your session.
How about pairing Yoga Panel Leggings with a matching Panel Yoga Bra Top and our snug long-sleeve M Life top for an effortlessly stylish look?
