Guys Need Yoga Pants Too – 10 High Performance Yoga Leggings for Men

Despite the huge discrepancy between the amount of males vs. females who practice yoga in the U.S. (roughly a 25/75 split, respectively), there are still 10 million male yogis in the U.S. alone.
Since yoga started gaining mainstream popularity, there haven’t been too many options for men’s yoga wear aside from a basic t-shirt and pair of shorts . . . but we’re happy to report that things are changing.
Men’s yoga leggings are finally offered by a variety of yoga and activewear brands, and yogi guys are rocking the hell out of them! We’ve created a list of men’s yoga leggings we love from some of our favorite yoga and athletic brands.
