PrAna Review: Is Their Yoga Gear as Good as Their Clothing?

PrAna Review: Is the Yoga Gear Actually as Good as the Clothes?
Quick context: I live in yoga clothes and I’m picky. So I wore the leggings, bras, and a mat from PrAna through a month of classes—slow flow to sweaty power. Here’s the thing: you’re reading Consumer’s Best, so you’ll get the good, the bad, and whether I’d spend my own money again.
The quick take
Short answer: mostly yes. The yoga line feels premium, fits cleanly, and performs like the everyday clothing people love from PrAna. The only caveat I’d flag is the mat—nice for studio flow, but not the stickiest option if you’re deep into hot classes.
Fabric and feel
There are two vibes here: soft and silky for everyday practice, and lightly compressive for faster flows. The softer fabrics drape without feeling flimsy, and the compressive ones smooth without that sausage-casing squeeze. Bonus: many pieces use recycled fibers and low-impact dyes, which fits the ethos PrAna is known for without feeling crunchy or stiff.
Fit and sizing notes
Leggings run true to size with a secure, no-dig waistband; if you’re between sizes, stay put unless you prefer a locked-in feel—then consider the smaller one. Bras lean medium support for A–C cups and light-to-medium for D+, which tracks with how PrAna designs for yoga over high-impact training. Lengths are forgiving, and the gusset placement keeps seams from fighting your hip flexors in pigeon.
On-the-mat performance
No sliding waistbands during vinyasa, no see-through in deep squats, and the fabrics handle sweat better than I expected. Prints and heathers hide moisture best; solid darks show it a bit but dry fast. Stitching is flat and out of the way, so you won’t feel a ridge in supine twists. If you’re chasing PR-level compression, look at training tights; for yoga, PrAna hits that bend-all-day sweet spot.
Mat grip and accessories
The house mat is lightweight, cushioned enough for knees, and rolls flat without drama. Grip is solid for room-temp flows but can get glassy once you’re drenched. If hot yoga is your thing, add a towel or look for a stickier rubber option. Blocks and straps are sturdy and unfussy—the kind of accessories you buy once and forget about in the best way.
Durability and care
After a month of wear-wash-repeat, hems stayed flat, seams held, and pilling was minimal—mainly where bags rub. Cold wash, inside-out, and hang dry keeps them looking new. Colors haven’t bled on me yet, and the hand feel stays consistent, which isn’t always the case with recycled blends. That reliability is a big reason I reach for PrAna on autopilot.
Sustainability, briefly
Recycled nylon and polyester, organic cotton where it makes sense, and broad use of third-party standards like Fair Trade Certified and bluesign-approved materials—this isn’t greenwashing fluff. If you want yoga gear that aligns with your values without sacrificing performance, PrAna lands in that rare overlap of comfy, durable, and responsible.
What I’d buy (and what I’d skip)
Buy: the mid-rise leggings with light compression, the breathable bras for flow days, and the simple blocks/strap set. Those are easy wins from PrAna. Skip: the house mat if you exclusively do hot yoga—grab a grippier mat or pair it with a towel. Everything else lands in that delightful zone of “I forgot I was wearing it,” which is exactly the point.
Price and value
Pricing sits in the mid-to-premium lane, but the cost-per-wear makes sense if you practice a few times a week. Watch for seasonal colors going on promo—great time to snag a second pair. If you’re debating one splurge, make it the leggings; they’ll anchor your setup while you decide whether the mat fits your class style or if PrAna’s accessories are enough.
Bottom line (and where to go next)
If you love the brand’s everyday clothes, you’ll be happy on the mat—just match the mat choice to your sweat level. Want my specific picks, fit notes by body type, and alternatives?
