9in Pocketed Half Tights

Sri Chinmoy

Made in Europe.

This limited-edition capsule was designed in collaboration with the Sri Chinmoy Centre, and features original artwork by both Sri Chinmoy and Filip Pagowski.

The Indian mystic and spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy spent 20 years studying at the Sri Aurobindo ashram in Pondicherry before moving to New York City in the mid 1960s, at the height of an influx of Eastern philosophy across the United States. He had been exposed to both meditation and athletics from childhood, and it is arguably his teachings at the intersection of these two practices that will have the most profound impact for generations to come.

For Chinmoy, a marathon was an opportunity and a method to overcome the confines of the ego tunnel. He saw the thresholds of human potential as the most fertile soil for growth and, perhaps, self-transcendence. His legacy is carried on by innumerable devotees worldwide, with various races bearing his name, including the longest footrace in the world, the 'Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race', held around a single half-mile city block in Jamaica, Queens every summer for 52 days.

Constructed from our recycled Italian-milled four-way stretch fabric, the pocketed half tights combine thoughtfully sculpted patterning with supportive, quick-drying and moisture-wicking technologies. Essentials can be stowed in a rear hidden zip pocket, while extra layers can be carried in a larger pass-thru pocket designed to secure items against the lower back with minimal bounce.

Please note: We recommend sizing up if you are in between sizes, as this style runs small.
