Have you heard the latest buzz around the proverbial athletic wear water cooler? That's right - super hot Yoga pants are taking the fashion fitness world by storm. But why? We did a little research and found out just exactly what has turned a yoga secret into a worldwide sensation

Yoga can be traced back at least 5000 years - though many historians would argue that the shamanic practices undertaken by earlier humans push this date back well beyond 3000 B.C. - perhaps even to Stone Age! Initially an activity designed to benefit communities as a whole, Yoga soon became a means to transcend reality and push the Yogi to new spiritual heights. Back in the Vedic period (right at the beginning of documented Yoga), the principles of Yoga were written down in the Vedas, a collection of hymns and the sacred scriptures of Brahmanism. Brahmanism went on to develop into modern day Hinduism.

So Yoga is an ancient means of honing the senses - though nowadays in the "Post Classical" period, it has become more focused on keeping the student in his or her body than removing them from reality. Mind you, Yoga and meditation are often still combined, so if you feel as though you're drifting away into bliss, you're probably doing rather well!

Hot Yoga pants are essential to a successful Yoga routine

Yoga pants are an essential facet to a successful Yoga routine for a couple of really important reasons:

- They are designed to be extremely comfortable and lightweight – so comfortable in fact, that you might even forget you're wearing them. Uncomfortable or heavier pants are a major distraction during a Yoga workout, so avoid them at all costs.

- With so many different varieties of Yoga around today, pants have been created to compliment every style. If you ascribe to gentle, meditational Yoga, choose a long style so that your knees are protected during floor work and in seated poses. If you're an energetic Hot Yoga student, there are cropped varieties to suit the pace.

No matter what type of Yoga you practice, you will doubtlessly work up a sweat. Anyone who thinks otherwise has probably never completed a proper Yoga routine! For that reason, choosing the right fabric for your Yoga pants is really important. The best Hot Yoga pants are created from one of the following materials:

Organic Bamboo: It's soft, smooth, luxurious and eco friendly! Bamboo takes far less water than cotton to grow and it is generally a much more versatile fabric. Popular brands like GGO Clothing use bamboo to craft unique, gorgeous pants you won't want to take off... ever! Modal: You've probably heard of this fabric but might not know what it is. Modal is another eco-friendly fabric made from cellulose (extracted from Beech trees). It's super soft, won't shrink like cotton and comes in a variety of vibrant colors as well as more subtle hues.

Supplex Hot Yoga Pants

Supplex and Lycra: The ultimate fitness fabric combo is the perfect material for Yoga pants. Stretchy, soft, moisture wicking and generally fabulous, this fabric is slimming, supple and holds its shape. Choose a mid rise variety for the best comfort during poses.
