Yoga offers physical benefits like increased flexibility, strength and blood flow. But practising yoga has an abundance of psychological benefits, too. It boosts your mood, helps you manage stress and can help you get a better night’s sleep.
Whether you’re taking a yoga class, exercising outside, or just lounging around the house, yoga pants are a great choice of attire. With so many different styles, cuts, and patterns to choose from, it can be hard to pick the right ones! Thankfully, there are a few ways you can narrow down your search to select the perfect pair for your needs.
When selecting the perfect pair of yoga pants, comfort and functionality should be at the heart of your decision. Today’s market offers a plethora of choices, from high-waisted designs that support and streamline your silhouette to breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics ideal for those high-intensity power yoga sessions. Look for a blend of flexibility and stability—pants that move with your body without slipping or bunching. The right yoga pants will feel like a second skin, boasting just enough compression to aid in muscle support without restricting your flow. Whether you’re mastering the downward dog or stretching into a warrior pose, the perfect yoga pants can elevate your practice, ensuring you stay focused on your alignment and breath, rather than your attire.

Full length ones are great for winter, while capris are better for summer. Capris pants end at your calf muscle, and full length ones stop at your ankle. If you tend to get warm easily, capri pants might be better for you; if you wear your yoga pants during the colder months, go for full length instead.
Your height may also play a factor in which length you choose. If you’re petite, full length yoga pants might pool around your ankles. If you’re super tall, capri yoga pants might end too far up your leg for your liking.

Go for fitted if you like leggings, and choose relaxed if you prefer pants. If you’re planning to do a lot of activity in your yoga wear, fitted pants are probably best for you, since they’re skin-tight. If you want to wear your yoga pants out and about, go for relaxed ones instead.
As styles go in and out of fashion, you may find it more difficult to get your hands on a certain type of style. A few years ago, relaxed yoga pants were all the rage; nowadays, the fitted version is more popular.

Choose stretchy yoga pants for ultimate comfort. If you like yoga pants that stay form-fitting and give you a bit of structure, choose ones that are less stretchy. Cotton yoga pants are usually stretchy, while synthetic blends might be a little more tight. The best way to test stretch is to try your yoga pants on first.

Lighter colours tend to show more sweat than darker colours. If you’re worried about sweat marks, try going for a dark blue or black pair of yoga pants. Or, pick out a fun print or pattern to disguise any sweat that may show up. Black is the standard colour for yoga pants since it’s so easy to match with tops and shoes. However, you can always mix it up by going for a bright colour or a busy print.

Will you be carrying anything with you in your yoga pants? Some brands come with small pockets that are perfect for lip balm, keys, or change. If you plan on going out and about a lot and you don’t want to bring a bag or a purse, look for yoga pants with this feature. Doing actual yoga with a bunch of stuff in your pockets probably isn’t comfortable. If you can, try to empty your pockets before class so you can bend and move unhindered.
