The Top 5 Best Yoga Pants for Women Reviewed

1. Spalding Yoga Pant

For a looser high waist band pair of pants that will make you feel free and at ease during your relaxing sessions, spalding pants are the way to go!

The straight leg fit will be great for walking and jogging, but also for light and moderate exercise. These pants are generally made from 92% cotton fabric, which means they are, nice and stretchy, machine-friendly, as well as reasonably affordable – as long as the competition isn’t polyester.

2. 90 Degree by Reflex  

These black leggings are ideal for working out and running outside in colder weather. Due to its quality fleece material and warmer feel, they can be used for a variety of activities, both indoors and outside. Because of the fleece lining I would not recommend these if you are taking a hot yoga class but they would be fine for all other classes.

If you’re used to cotton, you might find it difficult to get used to these, as the combination of polyester and spandex fabric could feel somewhat out of place for a while. Once you get accustomed to these high waist pants, however, they are surprisingly soft and comfortable, and the fact they are lower than average price is definitely a great asset as well!

Whilst wearing them they have a good compression without being too restrictive and they also have one of the biggest waist bands for extra comfort around the mid section. Degree by reflex is a popular high quality brand within the yoga market and they have may different styes but we found these the best they offer.

Yoga Pants Benefits

For starters, let’s take a closer look at what makes a good pair of workout leggings so special. Here are a few of the main benefits you should be looking for when shopping:

• Yoga leggings are, first of all, ideally suited for yoga due to their remarkable comfort and lightweight, flexible construction. They are suited to all types of workouts, and can comfortably be used both at home and during your exercise classes. With regards to workout leggings, one-size-fits-all is typically what you get.
• Sweating can be a great problem if you don’t want to take a shower 3-4 times a day, especially after intensive workouts when you don’t always have the time or energy. Yoga leggings absorb sweat more easily than other clothing items, and leave you feeling dry and fresh.
• While workout leggings used to not be very flattering and only offered a few different styling options, today you can go wild and pick just about any type of colour and style you want. From flare-bottom to spalding and danskin, or even Hollywood star fashion, you have plenty of versatile options to choose from. Those that are looking for a bit of extra support and tummy control can go with the high waist band or high rise as they are some times referred too.
• You don’t have to buy separate leggings for running, cardio, yoga and strength workouts. One pair (plus replacements) will suffice regardless of the types of workouts you plan on, and in most cases they will even make your workouts easier, when compared to anything you may have worn in the past. If you have never tried these leggings I would highly recommend you get a pair because once you try them there will be no looking back.
• Finally, the great thing about these leggings is that they can be worn all day, so you don’t have to worry about having to change after a session – that is, unless you need to get to a formal gathering. They can be worn during any activity, offering ideal comfort, as well as practical benefits.

How to Clean Yoga Pants

Although choosing the right yoga pants is a good idea, buying expensive pants will mean you have to take good care of them. Since the leggings have to be washed after every workout session – to prevent yeast and bacteria from being reintroduced to the body if you wear them again – it’s important to take great care when cleaning them.

So go easy on detergent, avoid fabric softener at all costs, and never add your legging to the same load as towels and similar heavy fabric that could leave your newly bought pants looking like a used pair after the first couple of washes. Also, make sure you use cold water cycles, as synthetics, organic cotton and bamboo pieces hate hot water. Also just from person experience make sure to room any items from the hidden pocket.

Keeping these tips in mind will help you find the best workout leggings for your own specific use, and to take good care of them in the long run. You’ll find that, if cared for properly, the leggings will reward you with many years of workout sessions.
