You can purchase the best yoga books, mats, DVDs and uniforms that money can buy, but none of it necessarily makes your mind-body experience any better. That's the message we consistently try to get across at Dahn Yoga: you shouldn't have to shell out in order to bliss out.

A good example of unnecessarily pricey yoga meditation supplies can be found in a new line of yoga clothing released by the apparel company Garnet Hill.

Called the Zinni^TM collection, it includes the standard sort of pants, shirts, shorts and wraps that you'd expect these days. Nearly all items are made with synthetic fibers, and many of the top-and-bottom sets have a clingy, restrictive fit.

The company's vice president of merchandising, Joanne M., called the line an "exclusive collection," which is pretty accurate, considering that even a simple pair of Zinni^TM pants costs north of $80.

Now, it's certainly fine to wear any kind of clothing you like while doing yoga. However, you don't have to spend a bundle to be comfortable and stylish. Essentially, all you need in order to regulate your body temperature is a good pair of loose, natural-weave pants and a long-sleeved top.
