Be Present Yoga Pants


Are you looking for the perfect clothes to do your yoga practice? Your old sweatpants just aren’t cutting it anymore? Well, I found a great store for all your yoga pant needs.

Be Present has a wide range of different styles. I was given the opportunity to try their Mobility Pant, which retail for $63.00. They are made of 62% cotton, 34% nylon, and 4% spandex. They washed up very nice and were much softer after their first tumble in my dryer. I am honestly not a huge fan of the drawstring, especially if the strings are really stiff. So in this case, I cut the knots off at the end and pulled it out. I didn’t really need them anyway, due to their size chart for recommended ordering, they fit nicely. I am also short-wasted so these pants sit a bit higher on me, than shown on their models, (just above my hip bones and close to my belly button). But when bending over into some crazy yoga move, I guess the extra coverage in the back is probably a good idea. The Capri style bottom (I personally would prefer the full length) has large slits up to the knees. I found the slits to be good and bad. They allow for lots of movement with no restrictions when bending. But…when trying to achieve good form, you never want your knee to cross over your foot. In some poses I could not see my feet as the flair of the pant was in the way. I did do heavy workouts with these pants as well. My P90X weight training days gave them a good run. They seem to hold up nicely. But again, the flare would get in the way of seeing my toes, and good form is everything. Overall I do like the feel of the mobility pant and will continue to use them. However, I think cardio workouts are a better time to wear them. They are lightweight and wick moisture away from your skin, drying quickly. So if you want a comfortable pair of pants for doing cardio, dance DVD’s, Kenpo, Plyometrics, or maybe just the elliptical, these are a great buy. Please check them out at www.bepresent.com As always, I am helping you get into the best shape of your life and look good while doing it.
Blessings Taylor.

Thanks for sharing this website with us. I'm not a regular yoga participant because I had a severe back injury in 2001. However, I love the clothes they feature mostly for the comfort level. My oldest son and his wife just moved to San Antonio,TX to work at a hospital out there and even now in the dead of winter they are having 70 degree days. I can imagine by the time summer rolls around they be in real need of clothing that is both lightweight but can manage any excess perspiration.
