Yoga Dork
Yoga Dork is for the intelligent yogi who keeps it real and has a sharp sense of humor. If you flow in your baggy high school rowing tee shirt with the hole in the arm pit, well, this site is for you. Tonight, I found this fantastic piece about the over sexualization of yoga pants. Why is it that when women wear things that reveal what their body actually looks like, so many men go nuts? Countless times, I've heard men go on and on about the sexiness of yoga pants and how we wear them with the intention of attracting attention. Actually, when I wear yoga pants, it's usually because I ate a burrito at 2 in the morning and I hope that no one gives me a second glance. Or it's because going into crow pose in sweat pants would probably end in me breaking my face (not to mention the sweat stains!). Comfort wear should mean never having to worry that the weird dude on the train is staring at your ass. Should I feel like I deserve creepy attention just because I haven't properly hidden my figure? Yes, I have a butt. The person next to me has a butt. Whoa, we all have butts! It's hard to break out of that cycle of thought that says "well, when you wear ___ you're kind of asking for it", but if I'm completely naked and flipping through a newspaper ,drinking coffee and minding my own business, how could anyone interpret my behavior as sexual? A body is just a body, sexiness has so much more to do with attitude. WOO!
Peace, love, sweat
