When we set out to develop the best yoga legging, we were inspired by the buttery softness of the Aligns, but we also knew we wanted to take things further.

I stretched and sweated in The Essential yoga leggings for months, noting how comfortable, durable, breathable, and well-fitting they are. I took them from intense Ashtanga classes to gentle Hatha classes and wore them around the house and on errands. They’re similar to the Aligns, but in my opinion, they’re better.

Flexible enough for yoga but comfortable enough to wear all day.

They also look great - I feel tucked in all the right places. This is where the thick waistband and four-way stretch really shine.

What truly sets these leggings apart is their exceptional durability, maintaining shape and color through countless washes. We designed these leggings for yoga, but they’re perfect for daily life, which is why we’ve released them in a myriad of colors.
