A Note About Tight Clothing
When it comes to training in these reflective and introspective practices, tight or restrictive clothes reduce your awareness to your body in many ways. But constantly having pressure on your skin on your full body, it creates a constant stimulation of all of your skin. In addition, wearing spandex, under armor, or other tight clothes can make others in class self-conscious. Giving your skin room to breathe is key to comfort, and loose fitting clothes allow blood & qi to flow naturally and unrestricted.
