While I was in Canada, I decided that I would purchase some yoga pants.  I love doing yoga and you really do need to wear non constricting clothing that will allow you to move without restriction.  This said I walked sheepishly into a yoga store.  It was early in the morning and I was the only client there, thank god.  Since I have aged, mas o menos ok but kind of chubby around the edges I am a bit body conscious, so having the store to myself was a blessing.  The sales person asked my requirements, size, color etc.  Actually she chose the size, of which I did not ask nor really participate in.  She took full control and allowed me the luxury of just trying it on.  I did say though my one pet peeve is pants too short.  As I am almost 6 ft tall, this can be an issue for us giants.  So she brought out her tallest pants saying that she never sells these and thought in no way would they be correct, they would be too long.  She was wrong in that department, length wise just right.  So the fitting felt right and free and comfortable.  I am ready to purchase. 

 She say now bend over......................I says pardon.

Turns out ladies when you buy yoga trousers, there must be no shine or over stretching of the material.  The rules of fashion here say comfortable but no piggies in a blanket here, no camel toes, no over shining to blind the other yoga participants.  I realize this might be over sharing but we have to stick together on this and help each other not make fashion faux pas.  This is like when you have parsley on your teeth and no one tells you until you get home.  She when yoga pants shopping bring a trusted friend or go to a really good yoga store and get that second opinion.  It will give you confidence in your yoga class.
