China sets world record for largest ever prenatal class with 505 pregnant women taking same class

The 505 women, in Changsha, were all 12 weeks pregnant or more... They did group yoga in Juzizhou Park for 37 minutes and 28 seconds

They broke the previous record of 423 pregnant women doing yoga together

The achievement follows the news that two of the U.S.'s biggest denim brands are claiming that yoga pants are encroaching on their territory – and affecting their sales as a result.

GAP's CEO Glenn Murphy and Levi's President and CEO Chip Bergh have both made comments about how the leggings' popularization as an everyday item has lessened consumers' demand for jeans.

'We're actually losing consumption to yoga pants,' Mr Bergh told Yahoo! last week, adding: 'What used to be a premium jeans occasion for women is now socially acceptable to be a yoga pants occasion, and shame on us as a category leaders for letting that happen.'

The brand's numbers tell that exact story. Levi's has experienced a near $3billion fall in revenues since 1995, which have now stalled at $4.6billion.

The demand for yoga pants during the work day has become so intensified that in January, Betabrand released a stretchy dress pant that could be worn at a desk or on the floor of an asana room.
