About Athleta Elation Ultra High-Rise

Athleta Elation Ultra High Rise Leggings are designed to offer a flattering, stay-in-place fit that provides comfort and support. Made from Athleta’s Powervita™ fabric, these leggings are soft, smooth, and stretchy, offering a “second-skin” feel ideal for yoga, Pilates, and lounging. With an ultra-high waistband and minimal seaming, they ensure a smooth silhouette and stay up through any movement.

What we LOVED about Athleta Elation Ultra High-Rise

  • Exceptional Comfort: Made with Powervita™ fabric, these leggings are ultra-soft and feel almost weightless, allowing full focus on form and flow during exercises.
  • Flexible Fit: The fabric is stretchy and non-restrictive, perfect for Pilates movements that require a full range of motion, like leg circles, footwork, and spinal articulation.
  • Secure High Waist: The ultra-high-rise waistband provides a secure, snug fit around the core, helping you feel grounded during challenging balance exercises like side planks or standing footwork.
  • Smooth, Minimal Design: With no side seams or external pockets, these leggings have a sleek look and feel that won’t interfere with equipment or get caught on springs and straps.
  • Moisture-Wicking: The fabric wicks away moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable even during sweatier sessions or under studio lights.
  • Non-Slip Material: The soft, brushed finish of the fabric offers slight grip against the reformer, helping maintain position on the carriage during exercises like plank to pike or bridge work.
  • Body-Hugging Fit: These leggings stay close to the skin, making it easier for instructors to see body alignment and form, aiding in adjustments and feedback.
  • Moderate Compression: While not overly compressive, they provide gentle support that’s ideal for Pilates, where comfort and subtle support enhance mindful movement rather than restricting it.

These leggings are well-suited to the demands of Pilates, where flexibility, comfort, and secure fit all play a role in an effective workout.

Small details to note about Athleta Elation Ultra High-Rise

Wash with care and tumble dry on low to avoid fabric pilling. Fabric can hold onto pet hair and lint – keep your lint roller handy.

What to think about before buying this product

The Athleta Elation Ultra High Rise Leggings come in a premium price range, which may be a consideration for some. They are designed with lightweight compression, so if you prefer a more compressive feel, you may want to consider other options. Additionally, the ultra-high waistband provides full coverage. 

Editors Notes

These are my go-to when I want to wear high rise leggings. I have 4 pairs of these particular leggings – these are so comfy. Waistband doesn’t roll, just stays in place even when practicing Short Spine and Long Spine on the Reformer. These are an excellent choice for anyone looking for a combination of comfort, style, and support. They’re ideal for low-impact activities like yoga and Pilates but stylish enough for everyday wear. Athleta’s Powervita™ fabric feels amazing on the skin, and the secure waistband makes these leggings feel like a natural extension of your body—perfect for any movement-based practice.
