Prana Mahdia Elisa Capri : A Natural Fit

The outfits at yoga practice have come a long way. No more do I see rows and rows of black bootleg pants.

It's pretty much "anything goes" in my yoga room, and more often than not, I feel out of place if I am not in something a little funky and different.   Also, cropped pants have replaced my full length pants. They're more comfortable, and more important--I don't ever have to worry about stepping on my hems in downward dog. My Prana Mahdia Elisa Capri pant is just the right fit.

They are slim throughout so the bottoms don't fall down to my thighs when I am upside down, and they have good-sized slits at the ankles for added mobility.  My Prana Mahdia Elisa Capri pants also have my all-time favorite feature in a workout pant: a roll down waistband. I love that! Depending on the shirt I'm wearing them with, I can roll them to be super low rised or a modest belly button height (but who am I kidding, I like to wear them l-o-w).

My eco conscious side digs that these are made of 90% organic cotton, but my fit-focused side is thrilled that they still have 10% spandex, which gives them enough stretch to hold their cute shape. After an hour-long yoga class, they look just like they do when I start --without bagging out anywhere.

The colors and patterns are so fun!  The pants are dyed with all-natural, eco-friendly dyes, so the colors have a bit of a worn, weathered look in cool shades like Aegean and Berry, with tattoo-like graphics running down the side.

Prana has a whole line of great, natural, mens and womens products for climbing and yoga. The Mahdia Elisa is also available in a knicker.

90% organic Cotton/ 10% spandex. Available in 4 colors. Sizes: XS-XL.

Eco Creds: made from certified organic cotton (with a "touch" of spandex), low-impact dyes, colors are steam set.

Bottom Line: A fun and flattering Capri that looks as cute with flip flops as is does in warrior three. --B.F. (April '09)
