15 Halloween Costumes That Will Terrify Every Yogi

So you want to choose a Halloween costume – a yoga Halloween costume.

The best yoga-inspired Halloween costumes walk the line—deliberately, of course—between humorous and deeply terrifying. And what’s scarier than regular studio events? Poor mental 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 (all instruments encouraged)—will spark 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. Bring the ego balloon again.

4. A pair of sheer leggings

5. The Apple Watch wearer. Your costume should light up every few seconds.

6. A loud sounding water bottle.

7. The Savasana snorer.

8. The purveyor of toxic positivity. Carry a basket of saccharine angel cards with you to drive home your messages.

9. The influencer with the most dramatic and intrusive camera setup in its class.

10. A puddle of sweat on the studio floor.

11. The mat neighbor who is too close.

12. The Wannabe Guru. Share spiritual dictations as you alternate between a stoic expression and a serene smile.

13. Collection of dirty yoga props (think blankets that smell like feet, pillows with questionable stains, and greasy, grimy foam blocks).

14. Untrained Sound Healing practitioner. Prepare for a loud, nerve-racking show!

15. A stolen yoga mat. Make sure you radiate bad karma.
