In order for you to feel comfortable during your yoga practice, to carry out every exercise without any problems and to concentrate fully on your breath, the choice of suitable and comfortable yoga clothing is an important prerequisite. In addition to a supporting yoga bra , the yoga pants form the heart of your yoga outfit. On your search for the right yoga pants, you have certainly already come across the various terms “yoga pants” or “yoga leggings”. So what is the exact difference between the different types of pants and which one is best for your yoga practice?

Leggings differ from yoga pants in their leg width. Leggings are usually tight-fitting “tube pants” made of an elastic material. The term yoga pants, on the other hand, can be used both as a generic term for all yoga bottoms, or for comfortable, elastic pants with a wide leg.

In the OGNX online shop we use the term yoga pants for pants made of organic cotton, tencel and recycled polyester with a further, casual, flowing cut.

It doesn't matter if you prefer a close-fitting Leggings, or if you prefer a more airy yoga pants - it is important that you feel comfortable. Both types of pants can be worn for a variety of yoga practices. In our article you will find out which criteria you should pay attention to when buying yoga pants:

The comfort of your new yoga pant is significantly influenced by the material and the cut. If you pay attention to the following criteria when buying, you will enjoy your new yoga pants for a long time:

Waistband:
So that your yoga pants do not cut in and do not slip even when bending forward deeply, we at OGNX have developed a particularly wide and high waistband that provides optimal support and conjures up a flattering figure . With the help of the cord in the waistband, you can also adjust many of our trousers to your optimal width.

Length:
When buying the pants, make sure that they are not too long, otherwise you step on the hem and could slip. This can be dangerous, especially for pants models with a very wide leg. OGNX women's yoga pants for this reason usually have a narrow calf or a cuff at the ankle, which prevents the material from slipping. 

Material:
The choice of the right material for your yoga pant is influenced by both your personal taste and your preferred yoga style. Functional fibers such as recycled polyester are particularly suitable for fast flows and workouts that sometimes make you sweat. The fibers dissipate moisture to the outside, are dimensionally stable and very breathable. Yoga clothing made from natural fibers such as organic cotton or Tencel feels particularly soft and cuddly, &  is, however, a little less stretchy and opaque than pants made of functional fibers. We therefore recommend them for quieter yoga classes.

Seams:
The seams of the yoga pants should be quilted flat so that they do not press or chafe uncomfortably.

Style:
Long or short, with a pattern or monochrome - there are hardly any limits to your preferences when it comes to the choice of design. In the OGNX online shop you will find long and short women's yoga pants with a high waistband, as well as styles with an integrated skirt part.
