Yoga and braless: Yes or No?

myheartsabattleground

I know there's different types of yoga (piyo, hit etc). However if it was the generic vinyasa yoga, would you go braless?

WTH? Do what suits you best!

Most yoga tops have a "shelf bra" or some kind of support. I'd say for the average to small busted woman, it's probably OK.

Would I? Hell no. Would you? No one knows your situation and what you're hauling around there... A cups? D cups? Supportive top? Loose tank? In your home? At a busy studio? White see through top? Black top? I mean there's a million variables. I think this is one you can probably handle on your own with a moderate amount of common sense.

thats totally a personal decision. i would never go braless,. and i wouldn't care if anyone around me was braless. Do whatever makes you comfortable.

Self practice at home? Yeah all the time. To a class? Uh no. Pretty much none of the outfits I wear for yoga would really stay put during down dog. I would be too distracted thinking about accidentally flashing a classmate to really enjoy my practice. I usually wear a very soft sports bra so it is not constricting but no one else has to see all my bits if my clothing shifts.

jemhh

I would not but you do you.

I go bare boobs all the time.

I'm a little too. . . er . . . bouncy for braless. But whatever floats your boat.

Depends on what size you are--for me, completely braless seems a little... floppy... (I wear a 32F and do vinyasa yoga). I don't wear one of my super-smasher running bras for yoga, but I wear a bralette (with a tank over it) or tank with a built-in shelf bra. I've yet to have a wardrobe malfunction.

I don't even go braless at home, let a lone out in public and 100% definitely not to the gym!

I'm a 32B and I NEVER go braless unless im sleeping or wearing a large sweatshirt at home with my husband lol. I dont like the look of nipples, and prefer not to see others... sorry if thats rude, but I think its showing too much.

Would I? No, I wouldn't go braless.
Do what you are comfortable with though.

I'm shirtless, who cares?

PaulaWallaDingDong

I won't do any more than get the mail braless, but I have a trainwreck situation going on. If I could pull it off, I'd be all about it.

Let em free!!

I can and do, if I am not wearing a cut out yoga top. My sister always tells me I need nipple guards. She says I should ignore her because she's jealous - she can only go bare in a well fitted sports cum workout bra tops. Lol

ETA: If you'd like to, go for it!

I don't have any good sports bras so I always work out braless, but I also have small breasts so it doesn't matter much for me lol

Just be careful you don't poke anyone's eye out

If you are small wearing a bra is a matter of modesty. You know not flashing the class when you bend over. If you are larger a bra with good compression makes twisting into complicated yoga poses a whole lot easier. As someone who has done yoga at a variety of bodyweights I can tell you that stopping halfway into a pose to move boobs or any other fat floppy bits out of the way is a PITA.

You don't like nipples?

That's like not liking elbows, we all (maybe some exceptions) have them, what's not to like ?

Also nipples is not any ruder than chin ...don't worry

Braless for yoga depends on your comfort and breast size

dutchandkiwi

Weird question - something for every woman to decide on her own for herself and her own comfort. It is really that simple. Why would you possibly care what I would do?

KANGOOJUMPS

OH SURE!

PeachesNcreamgal

Don't go braless for your yoga class near the chap who invented hot yoga(Bikram yoga) too many lawsuits up his b-hole I read in the papers. Lol. But sun and moon salutations without a bra ugh and chakrasana would be pretty weird too with your boobs popping out

Noreenmarie1234

I have small boobs so I don't need to wear a bra but all my tanks have the built in unpadded bra.

SuperNerd42

Totally depends on your comfort level! Do a quick sun salutation to see if the girls get in your way or bother you. If yes then wear bra, if no then go for it!

MsAmandaNJ

I can't do anything braless. The closest I get to braless yoga is when I have to resort to wearing my old sports bra that doesn't do much...kinda suffocating in downward facing dog.

LOL me too. I would get arrested

BrunetteRunner87

I'm not worried what people think but I wouldn't go braless that sounds super uncomfortable

kingleahnidas

I'm a 42DD and found that I much prefer going braless for yoga. But then again, I work out at home. My good sports bras have underwire and so they poke into me during yoga (but are perfect for running, etc.) If I were going to a yoga class, I would wear something light and supportive, like a bralette. If you have large breasts, I suggest the bralettes from Torrid.
