For the record, I have done yoga in a thong, but certainly do not perceive myself to be living in any kind of “sexualized hell.” More

Chip Wilson, the founder of lululemon, has earned himself millions of fans and enemies: You either love his yoga pants, or hate him for capitalizing on yoga and spreading his Ayn Rand antics. But either way, his success is undeniable, and he seems read to call it a day: He announced today that he’ll be stepping down as Chief Innovation and Branding Officer effective at the end of this month, leaving the company in the hands of female CEO Christine Day. Will this change your yoga pants? We hope so. More

What do abortion, marriage equality, and yoga pants all have in common? Everyone’s got an opinion on each of them, and each have made national news this year. Beloved by young women of the Ugg boot-wearing ilk and despised by those who have higher standards for what qualifies as “pants”, these stretchy bottoms were everything in 2011. Schools, malls…and the front page of hometown papers and mass media outlets alike, as they were widely embraced and vocally denounced, dividing communities and sparking conversations. Yoga pants were truly 2011′s most talked-about article of clothing. More

“Are those shoes appropriate for yoga? Katie Holmes dons high-heeled boots after tough workout” says a Daily Mail headline. Thank god they are policing celebrity yoga fashion; I almost forgot to worry it. More

An 18-carat gold statue of Kate Moss doing yoga (called “Siren”) sold for $900,000 last week, becoming the largest gold statue to be sold since Ancient Egypt, according to some. And you thought lululemon was corrupting yoga with capitalism… More

Yoga pants were banned at Ohio’s Loveland High School for being too revealing and distracting in class. Which says to me that their students are in pretty good shape, considering that back in my day, administrators were more concerned with students getting ‘distracted’ by drugs or the temptation to skip class entirely, but to Loveland’s students, it’s no joke: 17 girls were disciplined with in-school suspension on Thursday, and more were sent home, after a group of students decided to defy the ban on yoga pants by wearing their favorite pairs to school. They say there’s nothing worse about yoga pants than any other clothing they could wear to school, and that they’re wearing them for comfort, not attention. More

Holy cow pose. We already knew that Tim Gunn doesn’t approve of us wearing yoga pants in public (even though we do our best to “make it work” and feel these are far better than an unflattering pair of mom jeans any day), but are they really bad enough to land an entire city on the worst-dressed list? According to a recent opinion by MSN Travel and GQ, yes. More

Hang on to your mats, yogis–Abercrombie & Fitch has rolled out a new line of yoga pants designed especially to give us the perfect butt. Wait, what? You mean, all this time when I was striving for enlightenment, reaching and sweating towards a new and improved me, vinyasa-ing my way towards a spiritually-fulfilled path of letting the universe shine within me (I heard that one the other day and quite liked it), I was missing out on what yoga is really all about: getting the perfect booty? What a yogi fool I have been! One hundred and eight sun salutations for me. More

There are two types of yogis: those who succumb to the stereotypical gotta-have-the-perfect-yoga-gear-wear-and-rear and those who don’t. I fall into the latter category. It’s not that I have anything against the mostly white, female, upper-middle class, lululemon-wearing folks who make up the majority of yoga classes I’ve been to, it’s just that I refuse to be one of them.

When it comes to fitness and fashion, we have a firm policy against wearing sweat pants in public, but do we wear our yoga pants in public sometimes? Erm. Yes. According to fashion guru Tim Gunn, that’s a big mistake. “Gym clothes in public? Never! Change at the gym!” he instructs (with emphasis!). Gunn, who’s dispensed style advice to women on the weight loss track for Weight Watchers and Jennifer Hudson earlier this year, is back on the same beat in a video for Shape. More

Some Blisstree staffers are obsessed with lululemon athletica, the ubiquitous fitness gear brand geared towards the fashionable (and butt-conscious) yogi. Our brand-love has more to do with the way we look in their pants (and logo) than lululemon’s company ethos, and one of our contributors was perfectly willing to fess up to the un-yogi-like reasons for her out-of-hand collection of their gear: More

Even if all you can manage is an at-home yoga DVD, we implore you: Do not let yourself go this winter. It’s easier than you think. You skip a pedicure, you decide your feet are too ugly for yoga, and suddenly, it’s spring and all you can fit into are your college sweats. But if there’s one thing that always motivates, it’s a buying a new pair of yoga pants. Perhaps not every motivational guru will tell you to use shopping as a crutch, but we say that desperate times call for desperate measures. And if it means we’ll get to the gym more often, we’re okay with spending a little extra on legwarmers and organic sweater wraps. More
