The right workout yoga pants are essential to a comfortable yoga practice. It's hard enough to stand on your head, hold warrior pose, or stretch your hip flexors without have your yoga pant seam make you feel itchy.

A good yoga pant fits you like a glove but gives you all kinds of room to move in and out of poses. So you'll find most yoga pants have a combination of cotton and spandex or some other stretchy material. Pay special attention to the inside of the seam. It should be a flat seam so that when you lie doen it won't distract you. Foldover yoga pants are very popular not only for their fashion style, but because they let you determine the most comfortable place for your yoga pant waist.

You can choose long yoga pants or cropped yoga pants. The choice is yours. You'll find that workout yoga pants are available for both ben and women of every size and shape. I've included several plus size yoga pants here as well as men's yoga pants.
