More well-being through meditation

There are around 90,000 clubs in Germany with 24 million members. Football clubs have the most members, but the most popular sports that are actually practiced regularly in Germany are fitness, running, and swimming. Personal well-being is always a top priority. And feeling good requires the right workout clothes.

Comfortable clothing for more motivation

A tracksuit for fitness or running training must fit perfectly and not restrict freedom of movement. Furthermore, fitness clothing should be made of special functional fabrics that are breathable, meaning they wick away moisture. This applies not only to running outfits, but also to gym clothing, and especially to yoga and meditation sessions. Only comfortable workout clothes ensure you feel completely comfortable during your workout. This increases motivation and performance alike.

Sitting correctly is something you learn

On the yoga mat at the gym or when meditating at home, comfortable sweatpants and a top made of breathable functional fibers are sufficient. Soft, comfortable clothing makes concentration easier. The correct sitting posture with a straight, upright back is essential for meditation. Clothing should not be a hindrance here. There is no one-size-fits-all correct sitting position. Everyone has to find out for themselves whether lotus position, cross-legged position, or hero's pose is best. The easiest position is cross-legged. Yoga blocks, pillows, or blankets can support comfortable sitting . The lotus position is the most well-known, but it is less suitable for beginners. The so-called hero's pose, in which you sit on your feet and lower legs, is more comfortable. Yoga blocks or blankets take the pressure off your knees. You can also meditate comfortably by sitting upright in a chair. This is particularly suitable for people with injuries or pain in the knees. Pillows and blankets can also help keep your back straight. After all, meditation is supposed to relax and clear the mind, not be unnecessarily complicated by painful contortions. You just have to make sure you don't fall asleep. So, it shouldn't be too comfortable, either. Ultimately, everyone has to find the right posture for meditation for themselves. The important thing is that you feel comfortable and don't experience any pain or discomfort.

A ritual can help

When meditating, as with everything in life, practice makes perfect. Beginners need patience , both in terms of finding the right posture and in terms of concentration. It is completely normal for your mind to wander from time to time in the beginning. A ritual can help to promote concentration. For example, you always find the same quiet place, slip into comfortable workout clothes, lay out your yoga mat or meditation blanket and assume the chosen posture. This preparation tunes your body and mind for the upcoming meditation. To begin with, it is enough to concentrate on your breathing for a few minutes. Breathe calmly and evenly in through your nose and out through your mouth. Count to four as you inhale and to six as you exhale. Even this short meditation brings calm, relaxation and new energy and improves your breathing at the same time.
