Yoga Pants!

By Stacy Martins

I understand that yoga pants may not be the first thing that you think of when it comes to your yoga practice. But the fact of the matter is that most people like to look good for every activity that they involve themselves in and yoga is no different.

Of course, there are many things to be taken into consideration when you decide to buy a nice pair of yoga pants. I’m going to mention a few here so that when you go to buy, you will be well informed.

The first, and probably the most obvious factor, is fit. I am assuming that you will be trying your pants on before buying. That said, many people buy online so trying them on isn’t possible. You’ll want to get as prefect a fit as you possibly can. You will be doing a lot of movements in them so it is vitally important that they fit well. This is where you might want to look into a stretchy material, although some people prefer natural fibers.

Next, make certain that the clothes are not too revealing. You are going to your class for a purpose other than to be alluring (I presume). My feeling is that you should be looking for a combination of clinging and yet loose and flowing, if you can get it.

Since I sweat fairly profusely in class I tend to gravitate towards darker colors so as to hide the sweat stains. For me, gray tends to show sweat more easily than other colors. Even white seems to do a better hiding job than does gray.

Clearly comfort is of prime importance-you won’t practice if you are not comfortable. In that yoga is supposed to be a system that emphasizes relaxation, comfort should be high on your list. Here is where many students look for natural fabrics like cotton, hemp, linen, or even silk and satin (although I find these fabrics to be too slick).

8-Week Cholesterol Cure

Hi Deal Hunters!

This isn’t really a “deal” but I love this book. When I found The New 8-Week Cholesterol Cure by Robert E. Kowalski used on CholesterolZapper.com for $1.08, I figured it’d be worth passing on.  

Now to get personal: I recently found out my cholesterol was high.  I’m not super-overweight, I had good blood pressure, blood sugar, everything else. In most Aspects I was “fine” except my cholesterol was high, so my doc said this was a bit alarming.  

When I told my mom, she sent me her copy of this book, and bought herself another.  Let me tell you it’s fantastic. 

It’s got information ranging from really detailed Science, to useful shopping list suggestions.  It really helped me work on building new habits, which I think is the most important part of trying to work on a “healthier you.”  

Anyway, check it out on CholesterolZapper.com if you’re interested in reading more.  They’ve got reviews of the book (and lots of other stuff) and lots of things aimed at “zapping cholesterol.”

Happy Deal-Hunting!
