Best place to shop: Asia Yoga Conference

Every year, the Evolution Asia Yoga Conference in Hong Kong draws hoards of yoga practitioners from around the world with its roster of reknowned yogis hosting in-depth classes and lectures on connecting the body, mind, and spirit. But it's also a great place to stock up on stylish yoga clothes and other yogic paraphernalia.

Some of the most coveted names in yoga wear will have booths at the conference selling collections that are normally difficult to find in Hong Kong. Discounts can also be expected. We could be negative and call it a gross commercialization of a spiritual practice, or we could call a bargain a bargain. Here is some of the shopping to look forward to this weekend, even if you don't plan on registering for any of the events.
