People (and when I say people, I mean yogis) can be quite tribal when it comes to their choice of leggings. It seems to be the unsaid rule that those who devote themselves to downward dog have an loyal affiliation with a certain brand: Be it the sporty Nike-wearers, the colourful, Sweaty Betty crowd, or the Lululemon-lovers.
