The Best Workout Leggings for Yoga: Comfort, Flexibility, and Style

When it comes to yoga, your leggings matter just as much as your mat. Whether you’re flowing through Vinyasa or holding a deep warrior pose, the right workout leggings make all the difference in how you feel, move, and breathe.

The best yoga leggings offer a perfect trifecta: comfort that lets you focus, flexibility that moves with you, and a style that makes you feel good—on and off the mat. And if you love a pair that can take you from your sun salutations to a coffee run, even better.

In this guide, we’ve rounded up Spanx’s top picks for yoga leggings, designed to support your practice and power your day—with breathable fabrics, sculpting tech, and flattering fits that flex with you.

What to Look for in Yoga Leggings

Before we get into the styles, here’s what sets great yoga leggings apart from the rest:

• Breathable leggings keep you cool in hot studios or during power flows.
• Four-way stretch ensures freedom in every pose.
• Moisture-wicking fabrics help you stay dry and fresh.
• Legging and flare options offer core support without digging in.
• And for those who mix in cardio or errands? Look for leggings that double as running leggings and everyday wear.
