No—I’m not pregnant. As you may have seen in some of my past newsletters, I’m doing some freelance writing for a variety of publications. For Yoga Journal, I’m writing a roundup of the Best Maternity Leggings. My personal faves were from Beyond Yoga, but if you’re a mamma and a practicing yoga student or teacher, I’d love to know 1.) which leggings [brand & style] you love + bonus points for sharing the link 2.) why 3.) anything you didn’t love about them
Old Navy- durable, affordable, POCKETS. Excellent for yoga and exercise, and wore them for weeks PP.
Hatch- extremely soft, high waisted (which is my signature look, I guess- my 3 year old pulls his pajama pants all the way up and says he's Mama 😂)- the kick flare is a cute, more modern silhouette. I wore these a lot for everyday, but preferred the tighter/athletic feel of the Old navy ones for exercise. Felt like they didn't hold up as well with washes.
GF Collectives were a few years old and by this point had gotten a little pilly and stretched out.
Yes definitely the Old Navy and for the price and short term use it's worth it!
I did not like the expensive leggings from Storq. Thin and ended up leaving stains from oil based lotions I was using.
I'm on my second pregnancy and eyeing wool ones to avoid synthetic materials. Lots of European brands available. I'm eyeing these but they are $$$$

I'm two months postpartum and these from Old Navy were my favorites for yoga:

and these from Hatch for lounging:

I had a pair of Girlfriend Collectives from my previous pregnancy that I liked too, but can't find them online anymore.
Do you mind sharing what you loved most about each pair, an anything you didn't love?
Yes!

Thank you! Several people have said they loved Hatch and Girlfriend Collective, and I've gotten several votes for Old Navy, too!
