Introduction
Compression socks and yoga are typically not used in the same sentence. When we hear the word “compression”, we associate it with words like tight-fitting, swelling, travel and usually, old age. Yoga has some opposite word associations ranging from flow, flexibility, to gentle, and calm. However, when we look past such initial assumptions, it is interesting to see that compression socks and yoga actually go hand in hand.
Compression Socks & Yoga
Compression socks or compression wear actually has 2 key functions – the first is to improve circulation and blood flow, and the second is to provide support. When practicing yoga, both of these factors can actually improve your yoga skills.
Holding long poses or staying still is an essential part of yoga. Wearing compression socks while you do that can help reduce cramps or muscle fatigue that can be quite common with certain yoga poses. Especially for beginner yoga practitioners, wearing compression socks can help train your muscles to hold long poses without becoming overly tired.
With the improvements in design to compression socks, the sleeve style sock is both subtle, and also practical for yoga practice. The open foot allows for maximum balance on the mat since the foot is exposed and there is minimal chance of your foot slipping if you were wearing socks covering the soles of your feet.
The most important part of wearing any type of compression items, is to ensure that they are well-fitting and not too tight. You don’t want for the blood flow or circulation to be compromised, only to be tight enough to encourage circulation in that area and comfortable to wear for an extended period.
