Ewedoos Yoga Pants

Yoga asks a different thing of a legging than a run does. A run wants compression. A class on the floor wants a knit that folds at the hip, stretches four ways without pulling at the knee, and does not go sheer in a forward fold in front of a mirror. The pairs on this page are the buttery ones, and they are cut for that: a high waist that stays put upside down, a gusset that gives at the crotch, and the two side pockets that hold a phone on the walk to the studio and lie flat for the hour inside it.

The flare is the odd shape on the page and the one people buy twice. A bootcut leg over the same high waist turns the legging into something that passes for a trouser under a long top, with two side pockets and a third in the back of the band for a card. It comes in a full-length inseam, and the fleece-lined winter version of it lives on the winter shelf. The set is the everyday legging sold with a strappy high-impact bra, for the woman who is starting from nothing and wants the two pieces to match.
