Standard Yoga Accessories Clothing – Your clothing should be comfortable and breathable and allow you to move freely. You don’t want anything that is going to get in way of your movements or that will bunch up or create a distraction. For instance, oversized, loose fitting tee shirts can fall towards your face during some inversion poses and cause you to pay more attention to whether or not anything is showing, than to actual asana. If you are taking a class, your instructor might want you to wear something form fitting in order to check your alignment.

Shorts are often a good choice, if whether permits, because you tend to get very warm from doing asanas and your body temperature heats up. In some types of yoga, such as Bikram, shorts are really a necessity because of level of heat in room.

Although yoga is usually practiced barefoot, some people wear cotton socks or soft yoga shoes.

The everyday stressors faced by Americans have simply become too much for many to bear, and reasonably so. In recent years, taking an anti-anxiety medication or antidepressant has become as common as taking a multivitamin. However, side effects and long-term effects of such medications were for most part unknown until recently.

In past year, some of drastic negative effects of such medications have come to light, much to horror of patients and physicians alike. Anti-anxiety medications and antidepressants have been linked to addiction, severe withdrawal, weight gain, vertigo, and even suicide and death. To treat symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression, without negative health implications, many are now turning to natural supplements -- safely and with much success.
