Designed for the dynamic Australian woman, these high waisted yoga pants offer unparalleled comfort, sculpting support, and a luxe second-skin feel that moves with you from sunrise vinyasa to brunch with friends. Whether you’re flowing through downward dog or conquering a HIIT session, our buttery-soft fabric and precision petite sizing eliminate gaping waists and bunching fabric, so you can focus on your practice, not your outfit.
The Science Behind Melbourneactivewear’s High Waisted Yoga Pants
Premium Performance Fabric
Engineered with our proprietary 87% nylon, 13% spandex blend, these black petite yoga pants deliver four-way stretch, moisture-wicking technology, and UPF 50+ sun protection – essential for Australia’s harsh climate. The lightweight fabric provides compression without constriction, with a subtle sheen that elevates your athleisure aesthetic.
Anatomical Precision Design
Unlike generic yoga leggings, our petite-specific pattern features:
– A 24″ inseam (US size 2-8) with no ankle gap
– A contoured 9″ high waistband that stays put during inversions
– Flatlock seams to prevent chafing during hot yoga
– A sculpted rear seam for natural lift
Innovative Comfort Features
The hidden internal drawcord allows custom waist adjustment, while the gusseted crotch enhances mobility. Our signature “no-dig” waistband eliminates muffin top, with just the right amount of compression to support core engagement without restricting diaphragmatic breathing.
Designed for the Australian Lifestyle
Yoga & Pilates Perfection
Tested by Melbourne yoga instructors, these high waisted yoga pants provide the ideal balance of compression and flexibility for:
– Deep hip openers (no sheer fabric when stretching)
– Arm balances (grippy waistband prevents slipping)
– Restorative sessions (ultra-soft fabric feels like a hug)
Beyond the Studio
Transition seamlessly to:
– Coastal walks with phone-friendly side pockets

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these truly petite-friendly for under 5’3″?
Yes! Our black petite yoga pants are specifically drafted for heights 4’11”-5’3″, with a 24″ inseam and scaled-down proportions through the hips and waist. Over 2,700 five-star reviews confirm no ankle gaping.
Do they pass the squat test?
Absolutely. Our proprietary fabric undergoes rigorous opacity testing at 3 different stretch points. The 13% spandex content ensures complete coverage during even the deepest squats.
How does the waistband stay in place?
The medical-grade silicone grip tape inside the 9″ high waistband creates friction against your skin without irritation. Combined with the internal drawcord, it locks in place better than standard yoga leggings.
Can I wear these for running?
While designed for yoga, many customers use them for 5-10km runs thanks to the secure waistband. For high-impact workouts, we recommend our Performance Tight with additional thigh compression.
What makes these eco-friendly?
Each pair contains recycled ocean plastics equivalent to 12 plastic bottles, uses plant-based dyes, and ships in compostable packaging. We’re the only Australian activewear brand certified by both GOTS and BlueSign.

These yoga pants are super comfy and the fabric’s really breathable, which I love for my morning yoga sessions. The high waist stays put, and the stretch is great for movement. I wore them to the park for a walk too, and they didn’t ride up. My only wish? They had a bit more compression around the tummy. Still, a solid pair for everyday activewear.
