Yoga Shoes
Good yoga shoes are designed to provide comfort, stability, and flexibility. Yoga shoes can also provide a line of defense against injury as well as athlete's foot (from floor or mat contact in heavily trafficked studios). In general, yoga shoes are one way to enhance your overall yogic experience.
However, there are some critics of wearing shoes while doing yoga. Traditionalists claim that bare foot contact on the floor (or mat) is part of the yogic experience. The foot, they say, is the root of the body and must be free to connect with the floor as much as possible. This allows not only for more control, but also properly aligns the body.
For those who have no such reservations about wearing shoes during yoga, say that a light, sturdy, flexible shoe helps them grip the floor better, thus providing a stronger pose. The yoga shoes also help protect the toes from accidental falls.
Many name brand shoe companies have joined the yoga revolution and are now making quality yoga shoes. Fortunately for women, there is a wide assortment of shoes available to suit their needs and tastes. Unfortunately for men, there are virtually no yoga shoes yet designed for them. For the gender that is more fortunate in this situation, shoe manufactures have taken great pains in order to deliver a shoe that is ergonomically correct, affordable, and stylish enough for any yoga session.
