We know that everyone loves to rock leggings to run errands, lounge around the house or even have a night out on the town; but what are the best yoga pants to actually, er, practice yoga in?
When looking for the best types of leggings to find your zen in, you probably prefer a thicker, looser fit and material that offers flexibility. Other great features that might help you level up your yoga practice include full-coverage support, moisture-wicking properties, an anti-chafing fit and UPF protection (for when you’re practicing your sun salutations in nicer weather).
If you're in the market for clothing to help you tap into your inner yogi (or to just keep you comfy while bingeing your new-favorite show), Shop TODAY has you covered. We rounded up some customer-loved pairs with rave reviews to help you flow in style.
