I'm not a big "Yogie", but with the whole Yoga revolution, it seems today almost everyone has at least tried yoga on for size. With a more health conscious community, yoga studios, yoga classes at the YMCA/JCC, and pilates classes are showing up all over.
I have only attended one Yoga Studio, Integral Yoga Institute in Fairlawn. I have been to several lectures there and attended their Hatha Beginners class.
From the IYI website: WHAT TO WEAR: We suggest comfortable, modest clothing that will allow the body to stretch easily, such as a leotard, sweatpants and a shirt, or shorts and a T-shirt. Please also refrain from wearing heavily scented perfumes.
PRECAUTIONS: If you have any major health problems, please let the teacher know before class. During their menstrual periods, women are encouraged to practice more gently, with more emphasis on deep relaxation and alternate nostril breathing. It is advised that pregnant women refrain from taking our regular class. Please call to inquire about Pre-Natal Classes.
HATHA I - BEGINNERS
The beginner classes introduce you to the physical yoga postures, breathing techniques and forms of meditation designed to relax the body, make it more supple, increase vitality and inner strength, which in turn relaxes the nerves and calms the mind.

And of course, my favorite aspect of yoga....the fashion. By far my two favorite stores for yoga gear are Old Navy and Victoria's Secret.
Check out some of these reviews (good and bad) on these $19.50 Old Navy Yoga Pants

My Favorite Pants!

Review Comment:I just got these and I absolutely love them! The fold over design makes my butt less noticeable (whereas any other pants other than jeans make it look much larger). Yay! I can finally wear comfortable pants and still look good! I almost bought pants similar to these at [...] for way more (2 for $50). These are great quality at a fantastic price ([$]). And they are super cute. I bought them in "tossed hearts" and plan to buy more in other colors. A little bit long but fit ok when wearing shoes. I plan to wear these EVERYWHERE!
Review Summary:Truly comfortable for working out

Review Comment:I have been purchasing these yoga pants for about five years. I am truly happy to see they have not changed the comfort. I buy about ten pairs at a time and wear them everyday. I do a lot of cardio, and they are the only pants I will wear. They accent your figure perfectly. Would reccommend these to anyone looking for curve appeal and comfort.
Review Summary:Fade after a few washes

Review Comment:Love these yoga pants but unfortunately they fade after a few washes and look old. I don't like the faded black look much.

Review Comment:The waist on these is a little stiff. I have a small waist and bigger hips so there is a little gap between the waist band and my body. I have to pull the waist band down pretty low and it still moves around during my practice. I know some women who swear by these pants, but they're just not right for my body. Would not buy again.
