All About My Pants

I was recently asked by one of my yoga study classmates where I found my yoga pants because her son was looking for a pair for school.

First of all: a teenage boy seeking yoga pants for school? Yoga in school? Cool. Second, I shall share the secret here and now for all to see:

I bought my yoga pants at Target.

I do not dig the idea of paying stupid amounts of money for fitness clothes. I have a wealth of cotton t-shirts that work just fine. I absolutely REFUSE to pay the money that certain companies charge for their specialty yoga clothing. Target – as do other department stores, I'm sure – carries pajama pants that aren't too baggy and are made of comfortable cotton. If there's a button on the crotch flap, I remove the button. Then I sew the crotch flap shut with a simple zig-zag stitch and that's it: comfortable yoga pants for far less than anything else target marketed to yoga students/teachers.

Maybe I'll eventually learn to make my own.
