Although yoga leggings and yoga tights are often used as interchangeable labels, which is the practice of most yoga clothing companies, we tend to think of leggings as the main umbrella term and yoga tights as a sub-set of leggings. Both leggings and tights are skin-fit, but sometimes we will use yoga tight to describe a longer, lighter weight legging. However, you will find yoga leggings more and more commonly used, as tights tends to be confused with very thin materials to be worn under skirts and dresses whereas leggings can be worn as is.
