What is the difference between yoga pants and leggings?
Whilst both are suited for all types of yoga practices, yoga pants tend to be thicker and less tight-fitting, offering more slack. Some people may find this more comfortable, but others may be hindered by the extra fabric and feel more comfortable in yoga leggings which conform to the body and offer flexibility. Yoga leggings are often cooler and don't have extra fabric such as flared bottoms, so are better suited to hot yoga and active yoga practices.
