Noli Yoga Ballerina Legging Review

Author's Rating - 8.3 /  10

PROS / Noli Yoga Ballerina Legging is made with the performance fabric, featuring four-way stretch and moisture wicking. The legging is sewn with comfortable flat locking seams.

CONS / The Ballerina Legging is not the most breathable legging I've tried. If you are used to high rise and wide waistband legging like me, you may feel it lack of support and coverage.

​BOTTOM LINE / Noli Yoga Ballerina Legging is functional and stylish, which also gives flattering fit to the body. It is versatile that can be worn for Yoga, Pilates, Barre, Spin, and any other activity. Overall, it's a high quality performance legging.

About Noli Yoga -

​Noli Yoga is a relatively new activewear company, founded in April 2015 by Slava Furman. I only know about the brand this year. Noli is an abbreviation for "no limits," which is Slava's believe that one should never put limit on any goal for himself or herself. Although the brand is only two years old, it has grown fast and gained significant attention in the yoga community. With offices in NYC, the manufacturing sites are located in Los Angeles and Miami. And yes, all its clothes are made in USA.

Noli Yoga Ballerina Legging UNFOLD - 

I don't remember exactly when and how I found Noli Yoga. I probably saw the brand from either Facebook or Instagram advertisement. I didn't pay too much attention on this brand until one day I saw a friend of mine wearing the Noli Yoga Helix Legging to class. She looked really good in that legging and triggered my desire to get one. Although the Tree of Life Legging is the most iconic and popular design, which symbolizes the company's name Noli, no limit, it is not my style. I decided to get the Ballerina Legging instead.

Here is my review of the Noli Yoga Ballerina Legging.

​​1. Size – I wear XS and it fits perfect on me.

2. Style – ​​Full length legging.

3. Inseam – 28.5" long. If you are about the same height as me (I am 5'2"), you can wear the legging over heels.

4. Front Rise – 9" standard (medium) rise, which sits below my navel. Personally, I prefer high rise leggings for better support and coverage.

​5. Waistband – 3.5” waistband, which is pretty standard. There are many brands making wide waistband (~5"), which is my personal preference.

​6. Fabric – 88% Polyester, 12% Spandex. It is four-way stretch and moisture wicking. I feel the breathability is so-so.

7. Design for – Heated, non-heated yoga and any other workouts. Although it can be worn to heated yoga classes, I wouldn't recommend wearing to Bikram Yoga or anything class that's over 90°F.

8. Cost – Retail price $75. I got it on sale for $35 from Noli Yoga. Unfortunately, it has sold out on its website.

9. Stitch Seam – Comfortable flat locking seams.

10. Crotch Seam​ – Lined triangle gusset.

Overall, I am happy with the fit and performance of the Noli Yoga Ballerina Legging. It hugs well, provides lift, and flatters my curvatures. Either the wider waistband or higher front rise would have been better, but this is my personal preference. I know some people feel restricted when the waistband is on or above their navels. In terms of the fabric, it is soft, ease of movement and moisture wicking, but breathability has room for improvement.

Where to Buy - 

The Ballerina Legging has sold out on Noli Yoga website, but it is still available on Doll Boutique, Sculptique and Yoga Rebel (UK site).
