“The high waisted yoga pants market has exploded by 47% in 2025 alone,” reports Dr. Emily Chen, lead researcher at the Australian Activewear Institute. “Women are prioritizing both performance and body confidence like never before.”
As a yoga instructor who’s lived in three pairs of high waisted yoga pants this past year, I’ve witnessed this revolution firsthand.
