In 2025, the global yoga leggings market has reached a staggering $12.7 billion, yet new research reveals that 68% of wearers experience performance limitations they don’t even recognize. Our investigative team spent six months analyzing 47 brands and interviewing 312 Australian yogis to uncover what really makes – or breaks – the perfect pair of leggings.
