When you think of Pilates what is the first thing that comes to your mind?
Movement? Resistance? Balance? Flexibility?
Like yoga, Pilates focuses on strength in the core and flexibility in both the muscles and joints to develop an overall sense of well-being. While physicality isn’t the only thing that matters, getting in a good workout is a great way to improve our minds and mood, too!
While your attitude is important, the quality of your activewear also contributes to how much you get out of your Pilates class. The last thing you want is to wear something uncomfortable that takes your attention away from class. C’mon, we’ve all been there before!
Because Pilates is built on movement, you want functional yoga wear that will support you throughout class. With YogaClub, you no longer have to sacrifice style for functionality. Finally, you can have both!
YogaClub offers perfect activewear essentials from the best yoga brands. Because the quality of the apparel is so high, you’ll always receive pieces that are breathable and flexible, perfect for all of your workout movements. Plus, their yoga clothing subscription is super affordable, which is a definite game changer for me!
So, what exactly should you wear to your Pilates class?
Well, yoga leggings can make or break your workout comfort. When they’re too thin, they won’t pass the squat test, meaning they’ll be see-through when you bend. If they’re too thick, then you’ll feel way too restricted while doing your exercises. With YogaClub, I have never run into either problem. Because they carry high end yoga brands, you can have the confidence of working out in activewear that’s supportive, flexible and durable!
Next comes the sports bra
When using the Pilates reformer, you want to make sure that your chest is supported, so a strong sports bra is key. Without the correct support, tissue damage, stretching of ligaments and scarring can occur. When you sign up for YogaClub, you’ll take a style quiz that not only collects information on your style preferences, but also asks what kind of physical activities you do. By marking Pilates on your style quiz, your YogaClub stylist will know to include medium to high performance sports bras in your box.
Get a grip
Many Pilates classes, especially those taught on a reformer machine, will require socks. Pilates socks with grips will keep you from slipping as you move on the reformer. You can often choose between toe separating socks, open toe, or closed toe options based on what’s most comfortable for you!
Remember, comfort is key
Overall, picking the perfect Pilates outfit is all about layers. You will get hot, so a loose flowing yoga top that can be styled in a side knot or easily be taken off is the perfect final touch on your outfit.
With your Pilates outfit, you always want to shoot for comfort, but with YogaClub, you can have style too! Sign up today to get functional and stylish activewear from high end yoga brands for 50% off the retail price!
