What does it mean to be a yogini?
You may think that to be a yogini you have to go to India or do postures that no other person can easily do, but this is not the case. You are a yogini if you are a woman who practices yoga with the purpose of increasing your health, beauty, strength, relaxation or healing , although yes, to be a good yogini you must work and try to delve into certain fundamental aspects such as those explained below.
This term is also used to designate people who know and are consistent with the philosophy of yoga, which involves principles such as the elimination of the ego, self-awareness and the union of the being with the universe. The word yogi comes from Sanskrit and corresponds to the masculine gender; currently the neologism yogini has been created to designate women who practice yoga.

Tight leggings will allow you to see if your alignment is correct. T-shirts should preferably be fitted or tight, so you don't have to worry about them riding up when you're doing exercises.
