15 Sports bras that are perfect for yoga!

Kaelan Robinson

The hunt for the perfect sports bra can seem to be an eternal pursuit. When it comes to finding one that feels comfortable, you realise that different types of exercise require different amounts of support. What's most important to think about when trying to find a great sports bra for yoga?

Consider this before getting a sports bra for yoga

Comfort trumps support

When being a yogi, you don't need all that much support for your breasts since you're not running or jumping. Rather, it's more important to find a sports bra that is comfortable and flexible for moving around in. It ideally shouldn't be too firm or have seams that scratch or press to hardly against your body.

What type of yoga are you doing?

Different styles of yoga can mean needing different types of clothing. Bikram yoga, for example, is a very sweaty type of yoga that is usually performed in a heated room (around 40°C and 40% air humidity to be exact). If you do Bikram yoga, chances are you're going to be doing it without a shirt, so having a sports bra that is comfortable, tight enough and fashionable might be the way to go.

Since all yoga demands flexibility, it's nice to do some yoga in a pair of soft training tights and a comfortable sports bra that breathes well. Make sure the material is of good quality and that it's lightweight and comfy to wear whilst doing its job of combatting moisture.

Think outside of the box and dare to try new things!

A sports bra just for doing yoga classes doesn't need to give you loads of breast support, which gives you more room to explore and choose a bra that you're really drawn to. Take a look at different brands and models to explore different designs and styles. Some sports bras have really eye-catching paterns on the straps whilst being neutral at the front, whereas others tend to maximise colours and patterns all over.
