Closet 101
Do you have the same concerns like me? Whenever I want order yoga pants or leggings online from an unfamiliar brand, I have no idea what size I am. Some brands clearly list the size guide, while some don't. I normally wear XS (Lululemon size 4), but there are cases that I am between sizes which brings me to a dilemma. Although most of the stores offer return and exchange, I don't like the hustle to go through that process. I am sure I am not alone. So, I started this blog, Yogini's Closet, to share not only the size reference for various activewear brands, but also their fit, quality and performance.
One of the benefits being a yoga instructor is that most activewear brands offer discounts to fitness professionals. Who doesn't like discounts? Then, here comes another question before placing an order. Do they offer discount to instructors? Some do, and some don't. Also, the percentage of discount varies from 15% up to 50%. My goal is to provide a comprehensive list capturing Fitness Pro Discounts offered as well as the Size Reference by brands. In addition, I will also share reviews of diverse yogawear / activewear in my weekly review. |
First of all, I want to explain in details on what to expect in Yogini's Closet. I rate each legging based on four categories:
