  Wearing yoga pants while exercising may make a workout more comfortable and therefore more enjoyable. It may also prevent overheating. That said, it also carries some health risks.

The posture indeed looks easy but now comes the difficult part, holding the posture for a few seconds, maybe a minute for the best. Step 6.
