Yoga Pants

Yoga pants are a type of flexible, form-fitting pants designed for the practice of yoga as well as other activities, such as martial arts, dancing, Pilates, and aerobics, which involve a lot of movement, bending and stretching. These pants are generally made of cotton, spandex, nylon, polyester or other light, stretchy materials. They are usually tight-fitting, with an elastic waistband. Although designed specifically for yoga, the pants are also worn casually by women during daily activities.

There are various types and styles of yoga pants. These include the boot cut and flared leg patterns, which are the most popular type for casual wear, as maternity wear, and for other physical activities. Another style of yoga pants are full-length and fitted similar to tights or leggings. A third style is fitted and cropped above the ankle, similar to capri pants. The flat waistband found on yoga pants provides comfort and flexibility.
