I get that there aren’t many yoga fashion choices for you manly yoga enthusiasts out there. But there’s no excuse for these fashion faux pas in the studio—or anywhere else for that matter.
The Loin Cloth. I don’t care how hot it is outside or how proud you are of your Uddiyana Bandha… This is uncalled for.
The Tighty Brighty. This is basically just a modern twist on the loin cloth. I’m sorry, Iyengar purists. I know you want us to see your alignment, but please… there are some things that we don’t need to see align, OK?
The 80s Track Suit. While the man below is pretty adorable and is doing an impressive pose, he is committing several fashion crimes. First, notice the elastic at the bottom of his pants legs. Second, the pants are shiny and probably swish when he moves from pose to pose. And third, red from head to toe is only OK for one man—and his last name is Clause.
Combine all of these infractions together and you get the worse picture I could find on the Internet of a man doing yoga. No, no, no. Just… no.
this made me laugh out loud! that guy in Couples Retreat was so over the top.
I'm glad! I laughed out loud as I was posting, too! Did you actually watch Couples Retreat? That movie looked SO bad!… and not just because of the skeezy yoga instructor. 🙂
ouch! my drink came out of my nose.. HILARIOUS!!
So funny! Thanks for the giggles. That last picture is too much!
I am searching ebay for my summer yoga gear thanks for the inspiration! Now how would assist someone wearing that? Industrial rubber gloves!
lol – oh my! Thanks for the laugh – now to go scrub my eyeballs and try to forget those visuals.
haha…awesome post.
have one more to add: the yoga booty shorts 🙂
and eyeball scrubbing must ensue!
Thanks for all the comments! I'd also like to add Nancy's find to the list, I can't think of a name for this one.. Anyone?
Yoga guy on his way to Burning Man??
OR Yoga Playa Player-It's the bare legs, inappropriate coverage of private parts combined w/ tennishoes that reminds of horrible Burning man fashion!! This sleazy looking guy w/ dreadlocks would likely show up at the yoga tent in this get up looking for a date.
I agree! He totally looks like he's on his way to Burning Man. 🙂
http://bit.ly/dvE6JB last one i promise :-). Common in India but perhaps a bit .. um.. TMI for the Western yoga studio?
Nancy, Can we call that last one Rock the Mula Bandha and call it a day?
Keep them coming, Nancy! I love it!
You are too funny!
Very funny! What about short gym shorts with no underwear?
Now THAT is awfully funny. Accent on AWFULLY!
I`m the guy in the first pic. You exhibit so much of what is wrong in some aspects of western society – an immature attitude and narrow mindedness towards what is beyond you at present, and in many quarters aa total misunderstanding of the meaning of yoga. I wear the langouti because it is traditional in the INdian tradition of the sadhu/yogi. My satguru (look up what it means if your yoga teaching has not yet introduced it to you) at my initiation told me that `clothes are a barrier between you and God`. Wear what you want in your culture, however limited that might be, but before you condemn others (not just for what they wear, but because they are different to you, just ask yourself if you are necessarily 100% right. Have you read and studied the Avadhuta Gita or the Sutras of Patanjali? Hari Aum
The first photo looks good to me. Let us avoid bringing the fashion police into yoga. Many great teachers wear speedos, for example. And well done for the guy in wearing an Indian garment.
I agree with the past two posters and add: let us ignore the prude and the self appointed yogis who are breaking one of the rules of yoga: do not judge. Because you did know that yoga is not about only the postures, correct?
