The perfect yoga leggings for you
The perfect yoga legging, does it exist? There is! However, you need to know what you need and what the most important criteria are for you.
Do you want to go wild during your workout, keep warm and prefer not to swim in sweat? Do you want nice, soft leggings that give you the freedom to move? Are you looking for leggings that do not show through, regardless of your pose? Do you prefer a higher, sturdier waistband for extra support? Or is it more important for you that your leggings are made of natural materials? As with any investment, it pays to make an informed choice so you can enjoy your purchase even more. Finding out what you want and what product this translates into is a good start! To make your search a little easier, we have listed five important characteristics and the perfect yoga leggings for your workout!
Intensive excercise vs. slow work-out
During an intensive sports session, it is especially nice if your clothing is made of a sweat-wicking and breathable material. In addition, you don't want unpleasant smells to linger for long. It is also important that your yoga leggings are of durable quality and are not affected by sweat after a few good work-outs! Last but not least, you want strong leggings that can handle the pace of your workout. The leggings from Organic Basics meet 100% of these requirements: they are made of stretchy, sweat-wicking and breathable material which is seamless, so no weak spots! In addition, the materials are treated with Polygiene ®, a protective layer that stops the growth of odorous bacteria in the material so that the material stays fresh longer and has to be washed less often. Also good to know: Polygiene® is not harmful to the environment when washing clothes treated with it.

For a yoga session at a quieter pace, it is especially nice if the clothes you wear allow you all the freedom of movement you need to do all the poses. When holding a pose for a longer time, a non-transparent material is a must! The yoga leggings of Mandala, made of a lyocell-biologic cotton mix, are an excellent choice.

Smooth vs. Soft
Both the look and the feel of yoga leggings are influenced by the material. The difference is clearly noticeable between leggings made of recycled PET bottles and those made of organic cotton and/or lyocell. Yoga leggings of the first category are smooth, tight, very elastic, quick drying and have a shiny look.

Long vs. Short
Depending on the temperature and the type of workout, choose shorts or long leggings. Besides beautiful long leggings, we have two different shorts that suit different needs. The Mandala shorts are ideal for running because the inner shorts are longer and prevent your thighs from rubbing against each other. The outer shorts also provide a more covered look. These shorts are also very handy for yoga in summer, because the inner shorts prevent you from looking in. The shorts from Organic Basics are tight, stretchy and seamless. They are ideal for hot yoga and sports in warm temperatures. The design of the OB shorts is a bit more simple and shows a bit more of your buttocks.

Print vs. Plain
Besides the material, the look is also important for a fun work-out and to feel like exercising. One of the choices you can make for your look is between plain leggings or one with a cheerful print. Our leggings & tops of Organic Basics and ARMEDANGELS are simplistic and yet stylish in a plain colour. Do you feel better in a beautiful, striking yoga legging + matching top in a colorful print?
