“When you are focusing on your breath you are in the present moment. So fear of the past/present/future cannot bother you. You should know that we can hold on to stresses, anxieties and tensions and they build up in our bodies. Take a deep breath in and once you have filled all the way up hold it in. Feel the fullness. It’s quite uncomfortable but feel it anyway. Let anything you’ve been holding on to bubble up to the surface and then let it go.”

Yoga pants have worked their way into the athleisure and just straight leisure world by storm, and for good reason—they offer a stylish look for any body type, are one of the most flattering workout clothes options, can be versatile enough to wear both on and off the yoga mat, and most importantly, they’re crazy comfortable.

When shopping for the best yoga pants, consider their purpose in your life. If you plan on sporting them to your next gym sesh or hot yoga class, look for pairs made with performance-ready fabrics that’ll keep you cool during the sweatiest workouts. Or if you prefer something that you can lounge in at home, opt for cotton yoga pants that’ll feel soft and comfortable enough for everyday wear.
