So you want to choose a Halloween costume—a yoga Halloween costume.
The best yoga-inspired Halloween costumes toe the line—mindfully, of course—between humorous and deeply terrifying. And what’s scarier than common studio occurrences? Bad spiritual hygiene, puddles of sweat, loud mat neighbors, and even louder accessories can all serve as inspiration for an ensemble that will strike fear into the open heart of any yogi.
These tongue-in-cheek Halloween ideas—from the Spiritual Narcissist (bring a balloon to serve as your inflated ego) to the Untrained Sound Healer (any and all instruments encouraged)—will spur your imagination.
15 Halloween Costumes Designed to Scare Yogis
1. The Substitute Teacher at your can’t-miss, sanity saving, most cathartic class.
2. The Loud Moaner. (Not to be confused with The Loud Sigher, also a worthy costume option.)
3. The Spiritual Narcissist. Again, bring the ego balloon.
4. A Pair of See-Through Leggings
5. The Apple Watch Wearer. Your costume must light up every few seconds.
6. A Loudly Clanging Water Bottle.
7. The Savasana Snorer.
8. The Toxic Positivity Purveyor. Carry a basket of deck of saccharine angel cards to drive your messaging home.
9. The Influencer with the most dramatic and intrusive in-class camera setup.
10. A Sweat Puddle on the Studio Floor.
11. The Too-Close Mat Neighbor.
12. The Wannabe Guru. Share spiritual dictates while switching between a stoic expression and a serene smile.
13. Collection of Dirty Yoga Props (think blankets that smell like feet, bolsters with questionable stains, and greasy, grimy foam blocks).
14. Untrained Sound Healing Practitioner. Prepare to put on a loud, unnerving show!
15. A Stolen Yoga Mat. Be sure to radiate bad karma.
