A Guide to Pilates and Yoga Socks

Yoga and Pilates socks, should you wear them or not? Everyone claims that 'you can't wear socks during your yoga or practice' but we needed to ask 'WHY?' It turns out that it has nothing to do with 'tradition'; it's just that your feet would tend to slip with a 'regular' sock, and you don't want to 'slip' during any type of exercise especially while you're trying to hold a pose or on a reformer machine.

Well why not make a yoga sock, and/or a Pilates sock, with a special non-slip bottom. This sock would be perfect for low impact exercises such as yoga and Pilates? Let's face it; there are times when it's either just plain chilly or others when we're just not that proud of how our feet look that day!

There are also times where you're working hard and you may be perspiring. This perspiration will be another cause for slipping if you are barefoot. If you place moisture between your feet and your mat it is inevitable that your feet will slip the same way your car tire's do in a heavy rainfall.

There is also the "hygienic" factor to consider. If you are using your own mat it is less of any issue than with 'community mats', but you will still be walking around the studio and how confidant are you that it's clean? This is also true when you're using the Pilates machines. The freedom of bare feet is awesome, but why not wear a sock that gives you practically the same freedom but also gives you the anti-bacterial protection of a sock?

The ExerSocks™ are the original yoga and Pilates socks that feature a patent-pending non-slip sole for superior grip. Additionally the ExerSock's reinforced sole is cushioned and has an innovative StretchBand for a snug fit. These yoga and Pilates sock feature small non-slip dots that actually grip into your mat and provide a much better grip on smooth surfaces than regular socks.

If you are looking for a yoga sock, the ExerSocks™ will provide you with a snug and comfortable non-slip sock that will still give you the freedom to "spread your toes". The ExerSocks™ are snug, but not constricting. Made from cotton and spandex these yoga socks will allow your feet to breath while giving you the secure balance that you need.

These yoga and Pilates socks provide the anti-bacterial protection of a sock, while providing the non-slip protection of a sneaker! Why wouldn't you wear them?
