Bamboo Yoga Clothes

As people demand more sustainable materials, bamboo yoga clothes are increasingly easier to find.

Bamboo fabric feels like a combination of linen and silk, but dries quickly. When combined with cotton or even on its own, bamboo is a terrific choice for yoga clothing. It draws moisture from the body and is hypoallergenic. Try it during your next Bikram Yoga session and see!

Most manufacturers create a fabric that is machine-washable, dryer-friendly, and resists wrinkling. The Japan Textile Inspection Association rates bamboo fabric as anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, qualities retained even after numerous washes.

Although we refer to bamboo as a tree, it’s actually a grass that grows rapidly. This is why bamboo is such a viable renewable resource. The Moso bamboo tree is the source of fabric – pulp fibers from the tree are converted into fabric and yarn.
