Default Ever seen a muslim in a yoga class?

Hi,
I would love to join a yoga class locally, but i'm not sure about it. I will be wearing traditional muslim sports gear, which means covering the whole body except face and hands.
Has anyone ever seen a muslim in a class?
Just curious!
Thanks.
Oh and what would you all think if you saw a muslim in your class?

I think that sport gear would be fine. I hope you find a class that you feel comfortable in. Good luck!

What matters is that you feel comfortable in your own skin regardless of what you are wearing. And as far as I am concerned, if you were in my yoga class, you wouldn't be any different to me than any other person who is in there.

Shifana you shouldn't worry about what you wear, as long as you are comfortable. And yes I have seen Muslims who are religious in yoga classes and if you have got yourself sports gear then that's fine, don't worry and just enjoy your yoga classes.

In my classes there are many muslims and they wear 'jilbab' which cover their whole bodies except hands and faces. And that's perfectly fine. Just make sure that what you wear doesn't disturb your movement in any direction.

Yoga actually don't have an attire or uniform to wear. As long as your comfortable and you can bend and move your body with what you wear, that would be alright. It doesn't matter how you look, Yoga will help you feel better.
