Women's Performance Yoga Short

$ 42.00

What to Look for in a Women's Yoga Short

Coverage that holds through movement. The most common complaint with women's yoga shorts is that they shift, ride up, or become transparent in poses. Our shorts are cut with a secure performance waistband, four-way stretch Modal fabric, and enough opacity at full stretch to pass the same squat and fold tests applied to our yoga pants range. You will not be adjusting these mid-class.

Fabric that actually breathes. Modal is naturally temperature-regulating and moisture-resistant without synthetic coatings. In a heated studio it outperforms both cotton and conventional synthetic fabric for breathability and comfort. This is why it is the default fabric across the women's shorts range rather than an upgrade option.

A fit that works for yoga specifically. Generic athletic shorts are cut for running or gym training, where the hip and thigh demands are linear. Yoga shorts need to accommodate wide-legged poses, deep hip openers, and inversions without riding or restricting. Every short here is cut and tested for yoga-specific movement.

Styling and Pairing

Women's yoga shorts work as well outside the studio as they do in it. Pair with any top from our women's collection for a complete studio-to-street outfit. The solid colorways and clean Modal finish make them a natural everyday short for warm weather, gym sessions, Pilates, and running.

For cooler conditions or more coverage, our women's capris offer the same fabric and waistband construction in a mid-calf length. For full-length coverage, explore our women's yoga pants.
