Yoga specific stores-you will be able to find yoga specific stores in your area by using the internet to search for "yoga clothes" and the name of your city. I did a search for Salt Lake City and found a half dozen stores or yoga studios that sell yoga specific clothing. These stores will feature other yoga related items, for example, you might want pick up a yoga mat or a yoga book while you shop. One of the downsides of yoga specific stores is that you won't get the best price. Anytime you shop at a specialty store, you can plan to pay full price for the gear that you buy.

Sports stores-it might be a little cheaper to buy your yoga clothes from a sports store. Maybe you have a REI or a Big Five Sports in your area, if you do; you can shop at these stores for yoga clothes. You will find that the selection is bigger in these stores and that the prices are better. Just look up "sports" in your yellow pages. Almost any store that sells sporting wears will also sell yoga clothes, or clothes that will work as yoga clothes. Another place to check are stores that sell rock climbing gear. The same features that make an item of clothing good for rock climbing make the item good for yoga. Brands like Prana and Patagonia cater to both sports with the same lines of clothing.

Department stores-the cheapest way to get your yoga clothes is by going to a department store like Shop-Ko, Wal-Mart, or K-Mart. These stores all have a section for "active wear". While you might not find the same brand names at the department stores as you will find in sports stores, the clothes will be similar in fabric, cut, and quality. You might want to try one of these stores first and if you don't find what you are looking for, then check in a sports store or a yoga specific store.

Online-the next option is to buy yoga clothes online. This option has advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages of buying your yoga clothes online is that the selection will be limitless and the prices will be minimal. Once you decide what it is that you want to buy, you can use your computer to surf around for the very best price. One of the disadvantages of shopping online is that you will not be able to try on the merchandise prior to buying it. Yoga clothing needs to be comfortable above all. It is hard to tell if an item will be comfortable from a picture of it on the internet. The other thing that yoga clothing needs to do is allow you to see your body as it moves. The only way to tell if you will be able to see your body is to actually wear the clothes.

If you do decide to shop online, you will discover that there are the same kinds of "shops". Some sites specifically sell yoga apparel, some sell sports apparel, and some are catch all sites that sell a little of everything and at a discount.
