On Sports Bras for Yoga

  

The last yoga gear post I did was about toe socks, a clothing item that one surely does not need, per say, but one from which you will certainly benefit. This post, however, is about sports bras, which are much more of a necessity than the toe socks. :)

When it comes to yoga gear, I love most lululemon products, but I find their sports bras just don't work for me. They're too tight around the ribs and too loose in the cups or vise versa. To top it off, they start at around $42.00, so if there's a better fitting, cheaper option I'll take it. 

Turns out, there is. And I found it at the most unlikely of places - Target. 

The seamless C9 by Champion sports bra has a four-way stretch, adjustable straps and is extremely comfortable. It offers light to medium support- perfect for yoga. The best part is that they're $16.99 and come in an assortment of on-trend colors.

Try one out and let me know what you think! In the meantime, what sports bra do you love for yoga?  

Favorite Thing: Toe Socks (Seriously.)

Toe socks were awesome back in the 90's, if memory serves me correctly. That was the height of their awesomeness and then they kind of disappeared off the fashion radar...until now.

I am in love with these Gaiam toe socks. They're specifically designed for the yoga mat (or Pilates), and I can say with certainty you won't slip with these on. They're also really well made- they withstood the test of my month long teacher training in Thailand (it's chilly in Thailand in the mornings and evenings!) and all the little nodes on the bottom are still in tact.

Another benefit of toe socks is that you're forcing the toes to spread and therefore little muscles in your feet that don't normally get a chance to come out and play in regular socks are having to work. Because of that, I find that I wear these around the house in lieu of slippers. 

So, hats off to the 90's that gave us great bands (Nirvana, anyone?), great movies (Forrest Gump/Home Alone/Titanic!) and, apparently, great socks! 

**Disclaimer: I was not compensated to write this post- I honestly just really like these socks. :) **
