FAQs

What's the deal with Shining Shakti clothes?

We started Shining Shakti with the desire to make organic cotton, hand-dyed yoga clothes with a touch of what we like to call "tree-hugging fabulous."  We are proud to be fully MADE IN THE USA!  We buy our fabric in Los Angeles and it is cut, sewn and dyed all in one building in Virginia by happy hippies like us.

What size am I?

Let us help you find the perfect pair of pants for your body!  Made from 91% organic cotton and 9% spandex (to keep them from getting too baggy during / after your practice), the fit is pretty true to size:

Eek.  What if my pants are too long? I don't want to lose the design.

We understand  that petite yogis don't want to lose the fabulous designs when they hem the pants, and our pants are a bit on the longer side.  If you find that you need to shorten your pants and don't want to spend more money on having them professionally hemmed, feel free to carefully cut* them and they'll make a tiny curl along the bottom.  They'll never fray, and you can use what you cut off for a cute headband!  Think of it as a free gift from us.

*We regret that we are unable to accept returns once the pants are altered in any way.
