Blue Canoe Yoga Flare Stretch Pant : Made With Earth in Mind

I think many people who practice yoga are also interested taking care of the world around them. I know I am; I recycle, I reuse, I buy organic produce. And now, thanks to Blue Canoe, I wear organic yoga clothing!

When I head off to class in a pair of Blue Canoe’s organic cotton Yoga Flare pants, I feel comfortable and I feel good knowing that my clothing is pesticide-free.

One of my favorite features of this pant is its “V” fabric waistband, which does an excellent job of keeping my pants in place while I perform my sun salutations. So may of my other pants chafe or irritate my stomach, but not my Yoga Flare pants.

The cotton material is soft and a bit thicker than some of my other exercise pants, and naturally, doesn't wick away sweat (or dry) as quickly as technical (or wool) fibers do. For people who prefer cotton this isn't a problem. And the bonus is: as I improve my health I'm also doing my small part to lessen the impact on the environment.

Like all Blue Canoe clothing, the Yoga Flare pant comes in nine different colors thanks to a non-toxic reactive dye that works only on natural porous fiber. I like the Yoga Flare’s 23-inch inseam and wider cut pant legs; both features allow more air to circulate onto my clammy skin.

I found that these pants ran a little small on me and have a snug fit, so I recommend buying one size larger than you normally would.

Bottom LIne: In my opinion, Blue Canoe clothing is a good investment – both for your pocketbook (they will last a long time) and for the earth.--B. B. (August '05)
