Yoga Wear
You can celebrate International Yoga Day by wearing supportive, stylish yoga clothing to enjoy a class or to practice at home.
New to yoga? Here are a few tips to help you choose the right activewear.
Stay cool and comfortable by wearing clothes made of breathable fabrics like cotton. Choose colours and patterns that reflect your mood and personality – it’s all about feeling confident and comfortable in what you wear!
One thing you don’t want to forget? A pair of MOVEACTIVE Non-Slip Grip Socks! These socks are perfect for keeping you stable and safe during practice, so you don’t have to worry about slipping or sliding around.
We love the Alo Yoga Airbrush bra and Airlift leggings for support and confidence. The bra has a built-in shelf bra, and the leggings are super flattering and breathable – perfect for yoga lovers!
And if you’re looking for some fantastic sneakers to complete your outfit, check out the Alo Yoga Velocity Knit Sneakers. These are super comfy and supportive, and they look gorgeous too.

Yoga Mats
Yoga mats cannot be overstated as we celebrate IYD. Yoga mats are a piece of equipment and a sacred space needed for yoga practice.
With a yoga mat, you’ll have stability and a solid foundation for your practice, and it prevents slips and slides, allowing confident movements and promoting balance and strength.
Plus, it provides a space for mindfulness and self-reflection. Unrolling our mat becomes a sanctuary, a space to leave the outside world behind and serves as a reminder to be present and breathe deeply.
The No Ka’ Oi yoga mat is an excellent option. Featuring Microfiber and sponge makeup, its chic mantra ‘style, energy and power’ is what yoga is all about. Plus, it’s machine washable!
To disinfect your mat on the go, we recommend GAIAM performance mat sanitiser. Lavender and coconut scents calm the senses while destroying 99.9% of germs.
Alo Yoga’s Grounded No-Slip Mat Towel is another excellent option; its soft front absorbs sweat for maximum comfort and stability, and its silicone grip pattern backing adheres firmly to your mat.

Yoga Blocks
IYD is an excellent time to invest in yoga blocks, plus these versatile props will enhance your practice, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yogi.
Yoga blocks provide support and allow for deeper stretching and a more stable base that reduces injury risks by relieving muscle and joint strain and helps with limited flexibility.
Aside from their physical benefits, yoga blocks are excellent tools for mindfulness. As we practice with compassion and patience, they remind us to listen to our bodies and limitations.
Maintain your stability with the GAIAM performance cork block; it’s eco-friendly, has a bonus online yoga guide, and is easy to grip even when you get sweaty! Go figure!
Another excellent investment is the Bala Bangles foam roller; this sleek and chic tool improves alignment and flexibility while providing great stretch.
As a yoga practitioner, I love the Walden black meditation cushion; its gel-infused memory foam feel makes it ideal for slow-paced Yin yoga. A cushion will help you hold long poses safely and gradually work into them.

Yoga Accessories
If you are diving into yoga, you might wonder about essential accessories to enhance your yoga practice. Don’t stress; we’ve rounded up some fantastic yogi-approved accessories for your yoga collection.
Are your hands unable to reach your toes during a forward fold? No problemo! That’s where a yoga strap is handy and can deepen your stretches, improve flexibility, and gradually work towards more advanced poses. It’s like having your stretching buddy! Try the Alo Yoga Extra Long Yoga Strap. It’s designed for deep stretching & extended support to help your practice.
Sometimes you need relaxing music or guided meditation to aid your yoga practice. The Friendie AIR Aura Wireless Headphones have pillow-like comfort and a chic design and block out all noise so you can listen to your favourite relaxing song, podcast or meditation.
Plus, you’ll need a cute yoga bag for your essentials, like the MOVE ACTIVE Mat ‘Wrap & Carry’ Bag. It’s perfect for showing off your yoga mat and features a hidden key pocket to keep your essentials safe while looking stylish.
