When it comes to business and selling, often the container assumes more importance than the contents. At least the sacred area of yoga should have been an exception, but it is not!
Our ancient yogis, who were satisfied with their loincloth or ochre robes, were the masters of yoga asanas. Today, if we look at the market of Yoga accessories that includes pants, we will be surprised! It does not take long for a fad to become popular.
Modern day selling practices are capable of training salesmen to sell refrigerators to the Eskimos. Then why not sell hemp pants to the yoga devotees? To top it all, the hemp is organically grown.
Taking into account the climatic conditions in the western countries, yoga pants are ideal for any workout schedule. They are designed with wide waistbands and straight legs. Wearing a pair of Yoga pants supposedly assist, if not increase your yoga efficiency.
The hemp, from which the pants are made, is processed without chemicals or pesticides and is naturally pure and environmental-friendly. The hemp fiber is processed in warm water and thereafter it is combed mechanically.
Yoga is the discipline and path to self-realization. It demands total unity of the body and the spirit. If you are practicing yoga, wear clothes that are made of natural fibers. Synthetic fibers are irritating and may be harmful to the skin. Keeping with the traditions of the ancient yogis, the clothes of Yoga enthusiasts should be simple and natural.
Ecologically, we have done enough damage to Nature during the last century. Why not start making amends now. W can do so by wearing clothes made from hemp. Mother Earth, we are one with you. Hemp attire has a deep philosophical conviction behind it.
If we are to discuss about the varieties, there are many types of clothes made of hemp. Fold over pants, side-stripe pants career pants, sports and lounge pants, short and long pants which are appropriate to the occasion and to the season!
A day is not far off, perhaps, when there will be a pant for each asana!
