What is the difference between regular leggings and yoga leggings?
Yoga leggings are thicker than regular leggings so that they can endure yoga practices. Because of the thicker material, yoga leggings won't become sheer or see through when stretched, and will offer much more support than a regular pair of leggings. Additionally, they tend to be more durable and come in a wider variety of lengths and styles. Regular leggings aren't designed for fitness, and are more suited to everyday wear.

Are yoga leggings meant to be tight?
Yoga leggings should have a snug fit, but should not be so tight that they cause discomfort. The purpose of yoga leggings is to support you in your practise and allow for movement. If you feel your leggings are restrictive, then they are likely too tight. However, yoga leggings should not have a loose fit either, there should be no bagging around the knees, and the waist should fit securely to prevent them sliding down when exercising.

How to choose yoga leggings?
To feel comfortable in your practise, you need to choose a supportive pair in the right style. For example, you might choose a high-waisted pair of leggings, or leggings that are flared at the bottom if this is a style you find the most comfort in. Secondly, you will need to choose the correct size. Yoga leggings should provide a snug fit, but shouldn't be so tight that they're restrictive or cause discomfort. You may also wish to consider length, for example if you prefer a shorter fit, opt for capri leggings.
