Yoga pants-why are they folded?



Like all the other "basic" white females, I was rocking my yoga pants today and I got to wondering why they always have that folded waistband. What is the purpose? I'm constantly readjusting it when it rides up my torso. So I did a google search and came across this wiki page about yoga pants. Interesting stuff. Here's a little snippet for ya:
~~The boot cut and flared remains the most popular type of yoga pants that is generally used for casual wear, lounge wear, maternity wear, physical activities, or club wear used for gender-exclusive social activities and girls evening night outings where women meet to engage in social activities at restaurants, nightclubs, bars, and house parties where the pants worn out and about are used as clubwear, often used for aesthetic purposes of showing off curvaceousness, or for more physical social nightclub dancing activities such as grinding, twerking, or lap dancing, due to the high flexibility, stretch, comfort, fashion and softness that yoga pants offer when such provocative dances are performed.[4]~~

Yes, folks.....that's ONE sentence.  Albeit, not a very informative one.

Oh and I still don't get the fold over waistband.
