Yoga Pants !

とある人には道場着のようだと言われましたが、確かに!笑 
ヨガでも白いパンツが純粋さを象徴する色としてよく着られています。
Somebody said this looks like Japanese martial arts uniform, 

but that would not be too wrong! 
Clean, comfortable and practical. In yoga also, white is popular color symbolizing the purity.


で、このパンツ、
オーロヴィルという南インドのスピリチュアルな村の家族と一緒に創りました。
(この村については、昨年ここにすでに少し書きましたが、詳しくはまた)
So these pants, I made with a family in Auroville, a spiritual town in South India. 
(I already wrote about this town here only a little bit, but later more.)

自分のエネルギーが創作活動に大きく向い始めたころに、 
そんな素敵な村をたまたま見つけて(でも結構有名ですが)、
少しずつ形になりました。
道場着よりは工夫されてかわいくなっています。
When my energy by itself tuned in towards creative activity more, I happened to find this beautiful town (it is quite popular though), and little by little, it has been shaped up. 

These pants are a bit more kawaii, cuter than martial arts uniform.

詳細は下に載せます^^
Detail of pants follows :-)

インドに居て、様々な機会に恵まれている気がします。どばーっとやってきて、

えー私がいいのかー?と思いつつ、思いっきり、
できる範囲で喜んでやっています♡♡
In India or lately, I luckily receive more opportunities to be creative. 

They just come all of sudden, and with much gratitude, I try to receive them and do my best in my own way happily.
It is creation from blessing of nature and warmth of people's hands. Each one of them is made with love. Circle of smile, to you & from you______We hand crafted the yoga pants by weaving certified organic cotton grown in South India. Cotton is durable, high in breathability and water absorption, which is most suitable for yoga wear. Hand-weaving makes the touch so soft, gentle and smooth. We carefully chose the yarn so as not to see through in white color.

Waist is ready to fit with an easy drawstring. Sizes are loose fitting to move comfortably in a motions like yoga.  The design is functional and stylish with rectangle pockets in the front, for a  sharp line on the thigh area and the back fake pockets make the hip line nice and curvy.

私自身利益は頂いていません。オーロヴィルの家族はフェアトレード認証を受けています。自然も、人もみんながハッピーになる輪をこれからも創っていきたいな。もし気になった方や応援していただける方いらっしゃったらぜひ東京のシヴァーナンダヨガセンターへ(6月はNataraj先生が来たりとイベントがいくつかありますね)。

I am not receiving profit on these. 

The family who weave cotton has certification of fair trade. 
We wish to create the circle of happiness with nature and people. 
If you are interested to support, please come to Sivananda Yoga Tokyo center and check them out!

後、ヨーガマットも。使うと自分のエネルギーが布に織り込まれてすごくなじみます。

Your prana will be woven in the fabric and makes it even more special.
