Tight fitting clothes like yoga pants are not suitable for the practice of Yoga. When a person practices Yoga, the prana (life force) deepens and intensifies in the body. As asana practice is done, it increases the circulation of prana through the extremities and deeper tissues. It is this flow of prana that causes healing. This is not possible if tight clothes restrict the circulation of prana. Tight fitting clothes also bring awareness to the physical body (rather than the spiritual body) and provoke peoples instincts of competition and sensuality. There is nothing wrong with these things, but the point of Yoga is to travel inward and to transcend the body. To move inward in Yoga practice it is wise to wear discreet, non-revealing, loose-fitting, and comfortable clothes.
