Bikram Yoga Apparel Custom: Studio Kit for the 26 + 2 Sequence

Bikram-style 90-minute classes in 105-degree heat call for apparel that fits closely, breathes, dries fast, and survives daily heat-wash cycles. A studio-branded Bikram kit reads as part of the team across the full 26 + 2 sequence. Below is the apparel breakdown for the studio that runs the heated 26-posture class plus the two breathing exercises, with no minimum on the custom order.

Why Bikram-Style Apparel Is Different From Other Hot Yoga

Bikram-style classes hold a tighter format than most hot yoga. The room is hotter (typically 105 degrees), the humidity is higher (40 percent or more), and the sequence is identical class to class. The apparel has to hold up across that intensity, and instructors teach the same sequence multiple times a day.

That means the apparel washes more often than other yoga apparel, and the print or embroidery needs to survive 60 or more hot wash cycles a year.

Cut for the Bikram Men's Kit

• Bikram shorts: Fitted, mid-thigh, no pockets. Move freely through the 26 postures.
• Fitted performance tee or tank: Breathes, dries fast. Many instructors teach topless or in a tank.

Browse fitted athletic shorts and fitted tanks.

Cut for the Bikram Women's Kit

• Bikram shorts (high-waist, short cut): The historical Bikram style. Breathes, moves with the sequence.
• Fitted sports bra: Many instructors teach in a sports bra and shorts. Branded chest mark optional.
• Fitted tank or fitted tee: For instructors who prefer covered shoulders or are still warming up to the room.

Fabric That Survives Daily Heat Washing

Cotton fades in the heat wash cycle. Default to a high-quality performance polyester or polyester-spandex blend. The fabric resists fading through 60 to 90 wash cycles a year.

For embroidery on the chest, polyester thread holds color longer than cotton thread. Confirm with the studio admin before placing the order.

Studio Branding Placement

• Chest left, embroidered: Most durable. Survives heat-wash cycles indefinitely.
• Chest center, screen print: Less durable in heat wash. Plan to refresh every 30 to 40 cycles.
• Sleeve mark (on tanks): Small studio mark that stays dry even when the chest soaks through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is cotton okay for Bikram-style hot yoga?

Not really. Cotton holds water and feels heavy after the standing series. Performance polyester or polyester-spandex blends are the standard.

What is the minimum on Bikram studio apparel orders?

No minimum. A 2-instructor studio pays the same per-piece rate as a 12-instructor team.

How fast does the order ship?

About a week from order to delivery with free US shipping included.

Will embroidery hold up in the heat wash?

Yes. Embroidered chest logos survive 60 to 90 hot wash cycles a year. Screen prints typically need refresh every 30 to 40 cycles.
