The Yoga Pants Video Challenge
September 21, 2011Way back when, almost a year ago, my husband and I were having a chat, during which I happened to use the phrase YOGA PANTS. This small moment in our marriage opened an unexpectedly creative can o’ worms, which started here, then went here, and has since inspired an ongoing series of jokes, emails, and little notes from readers all over the world.
“I saw this ad for YOGA PANTS and thought of your husband!”
Or, someone comes over for a visit, my husband walks by, and my friend says, “Um, excuse me, but do have a pair of YOGA PANTS I can borrow?” and then we both fall on the floor laughing.
My husband, of course, just stands there nodding, pretending to be mildly annoyed, but really, he loves it.
The circumstances that started the whole YOGA PANTS brigade happened again recently, but not with a phrase or a word, but a sound effect. The video will explain everything, including my Yoga Pants Video Challenge.
All I can say is that it’s time to take this up a notch.
Once your video is ready, send it to my inbox at christine@swirlygirl.com and I’ll assemble a lovely compilation especially for the love of my life.
P.S. What’s all that noise in the background, you ask? Why that would be The Tilda Bear destroying a cardboard box.
P.P.S. If the idea of shooting a video is too much to contemplate, feel free to leave a line in the comments and I will act it out for you!
My YOGA PANTS are excited at the mere thought of it! I have other words to share that he loves, as well.
You are my favorite goof. x
your husband does NOT know what he is up against!
Christine, I had a dream last night that you had a new book coming out. It was filled with beautiful photos taken by you. Color photos and B& W also beautiful stories along side pictures. In the dream I was at the book store and right by the door was a big display of your books big photo of you too.In the dream I was at the display trying to decide if I had enough money on me to get hardback or softback. lol hope not strange to share my dream with you. take care.
I can’t wait to see what comes of this. Of course, I am one of the people that tortures Tilda’s dad about YOGA PANTS. When will he learn to not let you (and thus the world) know what he dislikes?
Your video made me laugh many times…and that’s a gift to the world. Sorry, Mr. Swirly. We are about to laugh some more at your expense.
I would love to do a reee reeeahhhhh video featuring a sad moment in time over some yoga pants.
Let me put my thinking cap on.
You make such fun! Love it.

I was out for a 7 mile walk in my YOGA PANTS one day with a dear friend talking and walking when a man came into focus running toward us. At first I thought, no way, couldn’t be. As this very tall, thick thighed runner came closer I realized his shorts had ridden up and his man parts were falling out. He of course had NO idea as he ran past saying, “Good morning ladies!”. While we walked dumbfounded by what we had just witnessed, he was heading toward the restrooms and I am certain that one look in the mirror and he heard, “Rant! Rant! and we haven’t seen him on the trail since. At the very least I am certain he has not worn those shorts again. Maybe he should try YOGA PANTS!
Hope this story brightens your day!
