She had brought another teacher with her, who later said our mutual student seemed to know more about Yoga Alliance than she did.

Hey friends, this is kind of serious. We, as a people, wear yoga pants just about everywhere these days out of convenience and maximum comfort, but hospitals across the country are sending out a message to all our stretchy-bottomed butts…please do not wear your yoga pants while getting an MRI!
