NEW YORK, March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Gaiam, Inc., the leading distributor of lifestyle media, yoga and fitness products, and accessories, today announced the launch of its first ever line of yoga clothing and yoga kits for men. Resulting from the trend of a growing number of men who are taking up the practice of yoga, as well as requests from their customers, Gaiam sought out suggestions and feedback from their talent, in-house yogi's, and local yogi's for inspiration and design. The main finding was a need for function and comfort, which led to each piece being carefully designed with the yoga practice in mind.
