For a compression type of leggings for medium to high-intensity workouts, please refer to the sports leggings. The sports leggings offer compression fabric near the upper part of the leggings to support medium to high-intensity workouts. The yoga leggings have more of a stretchy, relaxed fit. They provide an unrestrictive type of fit & are great for allowing flexible, light-intensity workout movements. The yoga leggings are not a compression fit/style legging.*Please note that contact with rough surfaces should be avoided since they can pull out the white fibers in the fabric, damaging the leggings.
