as with any activity, my favorite part is dressing the part! in yoga, I love a good comfy crop, a loose fitting tank ( to free up your range of motion ) and an easy slip-on shoe ( so you can make as quick a departure as you'd like ). in my own experience, the trickiest part of yoga is the to-and-from. I want to make my yoga practice as convenient as possible and this sometimes means penning it right in the middle of my day. using a dry shampoo ( this one rated the best by this article ) is perfect for tiding your hair over until you get home and it still allows you to go on with your day without you worrying that your hair looks all greasy and homeless. and even if you're going straight to the showers, use a fun-but-functional headband to keep those fly-aways out of your eyes. I once had a yoga teacher tell me that if I spent my whole practice fussing over my hair, then I wasn't truly present. I couldn't agree more! and finally--the mat. a good mat is an investment and can completely transform your yoga practice. plus, you'll find that purchasing your own will elevate your practice in studio and motivate your practice at home. that manduka is my mat of choice.
what do you yogis accessorize with to optimize your practice? please, feel free to let me know in the comments. I am always looking for new ideas to motivate myself in-studio and out. happy wednesday, everyone!

I love a good yogi look. You have my dream yogi style down to a T. A couple of years ago, Sydney at The Daybook recommended this etsy shop (Purusha People). They have some of the coooolest yoga digs I've ever seen. My favorite out of this collection is the mat bag--so cute!!!

Love all of these picks. Those yoga pants are fabulous (love the fun pattern). A good water bottle is also key!
