I have looked at the websites mentioned, and I’m afraid it is a bit too much for me financially. I am sure they are lovely to wear. I suspect that the breathability factor of the fabrics must be pretty good.

Fortunately for me, my mother was taught pattern cutting and tailoring and she passed her skills onto me. I have made a few Lycra numbers.

However, when all my stuff was in the wash and I was in a bit of a bind about what to wear for my next yoga class, I hopped into a swimwear dept in a clothing shop for women. I bought a tankini, which is a bikini top which goes to your waist. The cleavage factor was VERY MODEST so that when one bends over, sideways or backwards, nothing is shown. I am very particular about that. I go to yoga classes to do my poses, not worry about falling out!

I bought it for the princely sum of £5.00, which is about USD$7.75. I wore it with a pair of cycling shorts. It coped very well with the hot conditions. I tend to sweat a lot when I do my yoga, breath ability (or wicking) of the fabric is not an issue for me. My garments are always wet. I just need to have something well fitting and comfortable for me to complete my poses in. This did the job with very little money. Besides, I see the men coping with swimming trunks. Wearing a swimsuit should not be a problem.

I felt it was important to mention this because you don’t need all the fancy stuff to do yoga. It helps…that’s true. But the more important thing that you need is your determination, a good tutor, heat…and well fitting clothing that does not embarrass you.
