2. Introduction
Whether you are just starting out or have been a Yoga or Pilates
teacher for years, when shopping around for clothing there are so
many brands out there that it might be hard for you to know exactly
which one to go for.
In this presentation, we will check out 6 brands that are known for
providing comfortable attire that is both affordable and of quality.
3. Lucy Activewear
At the end of the 90s, any woman who had to dress for the gym faced
an embarrassing question: what should they wear? There was no
brand that was offering attractive apparel yet.
Then, in 1999, to remedy that situation, a group of
active women decided to launch Lucy. The idea behind
the brand was that sports apparel should be both
efficient and stylish. One shouldn’t have to choose
between the two. Today, Lucy is recognized as one of
the top brands for yoga practitioners.
4. Gaiam
When it first started in 1988, Gaiam (which name is a
contraction of the words "Gaia", meaning mother Earth,
and "I am") had a mission to promote environmental
consciousness and personal growth.
As it grew over the years and became one of the best sources for
information on healthy living, it launched Yoga and Pilates clothing
that adhered to its core principles. Today, after 25
years of existence, Gaiam has become a
favorite brand for newcomers as well as long-time
yogis.
5. Zobha
Zobha is one of the youngest brands on the list but also one of the only
companies completely dedicated to Yoga. It was created and launched
in 2008 by a certified instructor who had already been involved in Yoga
for decades. This gave him a strong basis from which to expand and
flourish. And flourish, the company did. In only 5 years,
Zobha has taken the world by storm and secured its
spot as one of the best attire brands in the world.
6. Hard Tail
Even though Hard Tail has become, in its more than 20 years of
existence, a sportswear brand that goes well beyond the realm of Yoga
and Pilates, it still distinguishes itself from other companies by offering
premium apparel that is unmatched in both its signature designs and
the way it fits a person’s body.
If you have ever tried Hard Tail Yoga pants, you know
that these are simply the best on the market. Not only
do they feel like second skin, they make you stylish.
7. prAna
prAna’s name set the tone right from the start.
With a brand name coming from ancient
Sanskrit and meaning "breath of life",
the company wanted to provide Yoga and rock
climbing practitioners with reliable clothing that
would help them achieve their higher
aspirations.
Slowly but surely, the brand’s creations were met with
success and prAna ventured into other disciplines to
offer the same quality and top-of-the-line apparel to
people with other passions. Their true focus, however,
has remained Yoga apparel.
8. Lululemon Athletica
Lululemon Athletica is a perfect example of what can happen when
passion meets purpose. A long time sports fanatic, Chip Wilson
discovered Yoga at the end of the nineties and he immediately fell in
love. The problem he encountered though was that the cotton clothing
people were using back then was more than inappropriate. In 1998, he
decided to change that and opened his first shop. The rest, as they
say, is history.
Today, Lululemon consistently ranks #1 in people’s
favorite Yoga clothing brands on the Internet.
9. Conclusion
Twenty years ago, if you were to practice yoga, you would have to look
terrible. Now, times have changed.
Today, many brands have emerged that offer more choices and quality
products. With the clothing companies we have outlined in
this presentation, you are now ready to select the attire
that will fit you best and make you look like the
fashionable yogi that you are!
