Leggings for Yoga – Why Bamboo Works

Short answer: Yoga trousers in bamboo work because the fabric brings together everything yoga demands: freedom of movement, breathability and softness against the skin. The natural stretch and moisture transport of bamboo viscose make bamboo leggings an obvious choice on the mat.

What does yoga demand of your trousers?

Yoga means deep stretches, slow movements and poses where the clothes must not pinch or slide. Leggings should fit closely without squeezing and follow every stretch. See the selection of bamboo leggings for women and bamboo training trousers for women.

Why bamboo beats polyester on the mat

Polyester can feel clammy and hold on to odour, while bamboo viscose carries moisture away and holds back bacterial growth. For calmer forms of yoga, the soft, natural feel is a big advantage – read more in bamboo for training.

Frequently asked questions

Are bamboo leggings see-through in yoga poses?

Quality leggings in bamboo viscose with a good fabric density stay opaque. Always check the fit in a deep squat – if they pull too much, go one size up.

Can bamboo leggings be used for hot yoga?

Yes, the moisture transport of the fabric is an advantage in sweaty forms of yoga, but remember to wash them after every session.

How do I wash my yoga leggings?

At 30 degrees, inside out and without fabric softener, then let them air dry. That keeps the stretch for longest.
