Hemp Yoga Meditation Pants

Eco-friendly pants to practice meditation or Tai Chi in. Great as warm weather drawstring hemp pants for the beach or the streets.

Featuring biodegradable fiber-reactive dyes. Absolutely no heavy metals were used in the manufacturing process.

Made in Europe under fair labor conditions from organically grown European hemp. Sweatshop-free.

Great for yoga practice too, thanks to the comfort of their elastic-free waistband, which you can adjust to the width that works for you.

Also great for other gentle ancient arts that require comfort and ease of unrestricted movement (for more vigorous practices, we recommend our Hemp Yoga Karate Pants or Hemp Yoga Cargo Pants, which are made with thicker and stronger fabrics).

In Thailand, the Hemp Yoga Meditation Pants and the Mindful Hemp Shirt together form the outfit of laypersons who go to monastery retreats to practice mindful meditation for weeks at a time. Nuns also wear this white outfit, which signifies purity, serenity, peace, and mindfulness.

Routine is perhaps the most important part of mindfulness practice, as long-time practitioners know. We find that when we meditate in the same space, at the same hour, and with the same outfit, we get into the a serene state of mind faster and more naturally. The combination of the RG539 Mindful Hemp Shirt and RG684 Hemp Yoga Meditation Pants puts us in the right state of mind each and every time.

Elastic-free, no pockets, standard rise (pants sit just below the waist), regular inseam only.

Eco tidbits: Simplicity and Fairness: Simple living is less violent and less exploitative. When we live in complexity, our needs are so great in terms of energy and material goods that we live at the expense of others. As we simplify our homes, our clothes, and our eating habits, not only is less work needed to supply us but also less effort to maintain our way of life, as well.

As the people of the world who are now exploited begin to get a fair return for their labor, prices will rise. We must expect this and be willing to pay the costs, otherwise we are hypocrites of the first water, wanting the world's people to be well off yet still insisting that our bananas be cheap. When the people picking the bananas in Honduras, tapping the rubber trees in Malaysia, mining tin in Bolivia, and making shoes in Brazil get the same return for their labor that we do, our bananas and boots and tires and tin (and fair trade clothing--ed.) will cost more. -- from A Handmade Life by WM.S. Coperthwaite.
