Here's some fascinating fitness news for all of you stylish yogis out there: Lululemon, the cult-favorite Vancouver-based apparel line known for their pricey (albeit ultra popular) gear, adored by celebs like Reese Witherspoon, Gisele Bündchen, Megan Fox, Eva Longoria and more, is suddenly recalling their women's luon pants for being too sheer.

Yikes.

That's right, before you bend your body into a downward dog or bridge pose, you might want to check the opacity of your recently-purchased Wonder Under crops or Groove yoga pants for a see-through surprise.

The company states that a recent batch of bottoms (in store from March 1 to 16, to be exact) have "a level of sheerness…that falls short of our very high standards" and have since pulled them off shelves.

A statement on the company's blog explains that the luon fabrication for these affected items varied from their typical coverage and they're working fast to correct this mistake with their supplier. 

The brand assures customers that they are "100% committed to doing the right thing" and will gladly issue a full refund or exchange so we can all pose freely without worry of accidentally flashing your neighbor. Not a good look!

Here's to far more flattering workout pants and less unexpected peep shows in the future.
