alo { air land ocean } yoga clothing GIVEAWAY + yoga wrap and leggings review

- - Lifestyle

alo yoga wrap and cropped leggings
I love giving things (especially yogariffically awesome gear) away. It makes me feel drunk with…giving. :) My yoginis over at Alo – Air Land Ocean do, too. We put our heads together in a yogic head mudra and decided it was high time I mat-tested their goodies and gave one of my beloved peeps (that’s you guys!) a kick-asana yoga jacket. Holla!

For the last two weeks, I’ve been rocking the outfit shown above (with washings in between, geeesh!). The pieces are:

  • Origami Tie Wrap. 60% organic cotton, 40% polyester. XS to XL. 2 colors: Black + Granite. $58.
  • Bamboo Legging. 68% bamboo, 28% cotton, 4% spandex. XS to XL. 3 colors: Black + Granite + Eclipse. $52.

The Wrap. I’m totally a wrap girl. I have a million of them. This one is light as air; thin enough not to gross you out when you put it on your sweaty after-yoga body, but substantial enough to give a bit of warmth. The ties can be tricky, but you can get creative and tie them a number of ways. I tied them front to back down at my lady area (a la Cher in her Turn Back Time video) and made the boyfriend crack up laughing. Note: there are also more appropriate ways you can tie it. The white exposed stitching is a cool touch — gives it yoga funk. I’ve already worn this out-out with jeans.

The Bamboo Leggings. Now I’m not usually a capri leggings girl. I like to be covered up. I’m funny like that. But I actually love these best. They’re incredibly comfortable. No riding up, no seam adjustments needed. They don’t appear to be see-through. No one screamed or fainted when I was doing cat/cow in front of about 30+ people. The bamboo feels amazing, so soft. And they have the cutest little cut-outs and buttons at the calf. I was worried the buttons would poke me when I rolled over on them, but somehow they don’t. Alo: what magic is this? Diggin’ ’em.

Things to Love About Alo: they’re green, they utilize eco-friendly fabrics, they make it a rule to use reclaimed and recycled corporate materials, and their website keeps a running count of the fabric they’ve diverted from landfills, the office materials they’ve recycled, AND their electricity usage reduction. Oh yeah.

Check out Alo’s website for more yoga goodies: tanks, tops, tunics, yoga bras, camisoles, pants, leggings, capris, hoodies, wraps, jackets, and men’s yoga clothing!

    ahem… i would just like to say that even before i was enticed by this super adorable jacket, i was already doing 2, 4, 5 and 6. i just took care of 1 and 7. i refuse to visit ALO’s website b/c i don’t know if i could do it w/o maxing out my credit card. i tweeted this offer but i’m not posting it on facebook b/c… i want that jacket! i don’t want to have to compete with my friends for it!

    thanks for the generous offer!

  57. Fourelementsyoga.wordpress.com

    I think Alo makes some really cute clothes!! I actually interviewed with them a month ago for a freelance design job, but they never called me :( boohoo. Thanks for the discount code though, will def purchase a cute wrap top asap!
