Built for Hot Yoga. Ready for Everything After.
Hot yoga exposes every weakness in a short: cling, weight, shifting, bunching, and liners that hold sweat. Flow was built first for that environment — heat, sweat, deep stretch, long holds, and constant movement.
The Yoga Crow Micro-Climate System™ brings together a supportive quick-drying liner, laser-cut ventilation, and a featherweight water-repellent shell to help manage heat, sweat, airflow, and cling.
Beyond the studio, Flow moves easily into training, running, beach days, travel, and the full day beyond practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are Flow shorts best for hot yoga?
A: In high heat, sweat can make ordinary shorts cling, sag, and feel heavy. Flow’s water-repellent outer shell helps resist moisture absorption, while the quick-drying liner and laser-cut ventilation help manage sweat, heat, and airflow through long holds, deep stretch, and high-sweat practice.
Q: Can I use Flow shorts for running or the gym?
A: Yes. Flow was built first for hot yoga, but the supportive compression liner, 4-way stretch, side slits, and lightweight shell make it easy to wear for training, running, gym sessions, and movement beyond the mat.
Q: Can I swim in Flow shorts?
A: Yes. The water-repellent outer shell and quick-drying liner make Flow easy to wear for swimming, paddleboarding, beach days, or a post-practice ocean dip.
Q: Is the Flow liner different from Swerve?
A: Yes. Flow has a more supportive compression liner for stability during heat, sweat, deep stretch, and higher-intensity movement. Swerve has a softer, non-restrictive boxer brief liner for comfort, coverage, and everyday practice.
Q: Should I size up in Flow shorts?
A: Flow runs slimmer than Swerve because it uses a lightweight woven outer shell with less give than Swerve’s knit fabric. If you have thick or muscular thighs, or prefer more room, size up one size.

Really liked these shorts!
Used them for yoga and went for a jog. They fit great and felt really comfy during both workouts!
Thanks Evan, you’ve got a great product!
I’m someone who has always worn regular shorts, maaaaybe sometimes leggings, to yoga and the gym. I got these as a holiday gift for myself thinking it would level up my yoga game…and they did. Not only am I super happy with how they feel (very comfortable and flexible), but they look incredible. Style and feel ten out of ten, I’ve even worn these in social settings and I get people asking what brand they are. So much so that now they’re the only shorts I wear to the gym or to yoga - I make sure I have a fresh pair to wear every time I workout. Feeling great and looking great is a secret back to staying motivated, because I want to show up to classes more now that I’m not wearing cargo pants lol (yes, I’ve been that guy). The one thing I would comment on is to order a size larger than you think. They are a tight fit, still comfortable, but recommend ordering one size larger than your go-to. Thanks Yoga Crow, these are awesome. New fav!
These are my new go-to shorts for movement activities.The attention to detail can be found in the flat zippers and drawstring tips. No more rolling over a hard piece of plastic on your way to cobra.The waistband is seamlessly integrated into the lining for a smooth and supportive feeling. Best felt underwear free for the full crow flow effect.Length is ideal for most movement activities. Striking a nice balance between coverage and less restriction.And they look great. About to go order the colorful ones next!I'm 6'3'' with a 34-36 inch waist. XL fit me great.
I am loving these shorts! I used the brand recommendation guide to find my fit, and they are just right for me. Really appreciating the built in briefs and just how comfortable and supportive they are. The look, the breathability, the freedom of movement... they check all the boxes.
I saw someone wearing them in a hot yoga class and I really liked they way they looked so I asked the person which brand they were and bought a pair. I must say they are really great for Hot Yoga! Can’t believe how dry and cool they keep me! The inner liner is nice and supportive - allows me to get into any position without flashing my junk to the world...Also they are super comfy/flexible so I’ve been wearing them to workout in gym , run, chillout etcI followed the sizing instructions and took my actual waist measurement and then selected the size on the chart accordingly which was my size. This at first concerned me because I usually wear a medium in most brands but according to the size chart I was a large and I must say they fit great - I think had I ordered a medium they would have been too tight on me so was definitely worth taking my actual waist measurement and following the size chart instead of just getting the size I normally wear!! I'm 6 foot, 158 pounds, and my waist size is a 33.5.Strongly recommend these!V
I really enjoyed these shorts and want to say that they are great not only for doing yoga, but also for running and even CrossFit!Have already 2 pairs of them.Thanks.
I am 160lbs with a 32” waist and size Medium fits perfectly.
These shorts are amazing. Lighter and more breathable than the Swerve shorts, which makes their use in my hot yoga class perfect. They move with me and don't ride up or drop down.
These stunning shorts by Yoga Crow are truly impressive... I have been a sportswear designer for over twenty years and these are some of the most beautifully designed shorts I have ever tried, seriously. The design details are what makes these shorts so incredibly comfortable, durable and built to last. I really enjoy the notched scallop hem at the side seam and leg opening, as this detail allows the short to fit comfortably while practicing yoga and doesn't bind or restrict my practice. The side seam pockets feature a smooth nylon coil zipper that keeps my belongings secure as I walk from my truck to the yoga studio. The perforated lycra liner fits beautifully, allows for wonderful breathability during hot yoga and humid days. The interior liner also fits very well, keeping all body parts in secure, private and in place. The perforated panel across the backside also allows for ventilation and comfort, in and out of the water. The sustainable and recycled polyester 4-way stretch exterior short features a water repellent coating which allows for a quick dry time and reduces any discomfort during extended yoga practices. The outseam is the perfect length, at mid thigh these are not too short or too long, allowing for great style meets function. The super soft exterior waistband features a smooth drawcord with silicone tips and adjustability to remain comfortable and secure at all times. I would highly recommend these shorts to friends or family, especially due to the affordable pricing meets high quality. These shorts are wonderful!!!!
“Soft sleek light and functional”They did it again, Yoga Crow is a solid choice if you want shorts that function for a effective, easy, comfortable and unencumbered practice.
I bought these because I wanted shorts with the inner lining and weren't too long. These have been super comfortable and I use them for everything. Yoga, hiking, biking, swimming. Can't wait for the summer, when I will live in them. The zippered pockets are great and big enough to fit my Google Pixel. My wife thinks they look stylish too.
I’ve been looking for a good hot yoga short. Have the swerve short and was excited when this one came out. Good length. Great liner. Great flex in the fabric. Love this. Just ordered a second pair.
I have been a big fan of Evan's Yoga Crow shorts for a while now: Firstly, because this is a small business and the owner is super passionate about what he does. Secondly and most importantly, i found that the Yoga crow shorts are the best in the market after trying almost every possible short out there. They stay in place, are very comfortable to wear and you never have to think about what your wearing even while doing some of the more challenging poses. I own 3 pairs of the pocketed swerve shorts. I now own the latest flow pair.I gave a 4 star rating (actually a 4.5 - Amazon doesn't allow fractional ratings :)) only because my comparison point is Yoga Crow's other shorts - the pocketed swerve short (which i would rate 5 stars). Don't get me wrong - the flow short is still better than anything comparable in the market by other brands. I dinged a half star due to couple of reasons:One - the adjustable waist bands actually face outside unlike inside for the pocketed swerve shorts (which i prefer) - this essentially means they can potentially untie sometimes and then you may have to adjust during the practiceTwo - given this is light weight, in some poses i had the feeling that the short at the waist was riding down in some of the asanas (Child pose) - something which i never felt with the pocketed swerve short which is heavier and definitely always remains in place.One additional item to mention - i love the styling of the product and it is really well made and can be used for other purposes especially for the beach. It breathes and stretches very well. It really looks good when you wear one as well.I would highly recommend this short especially if you prefer your yoga shorts to be lightweight as well
I have several pair of the Yoga Crow Swerve shorts. I love the hearty fabrication of those. The Flow version is a lighter fabrication, so these will be great for hot yoga or running. Just like the Swerve shorts, the construction is top notch. I've worn mine hundreds of times, literally, and they still look new. The Flow shorts have a built in liner, so you get all the support and "modesty" you need when doing inversions or poses when your legs are in the air :-) These shorts are shorter than the Swerve (about a 5" leg compared to 7") but I'd still wear them while I'm out running errands or stopping by Starbucks after class. This is a quality product backed by a quality company. You won't be disappointed. I plan to by at least one more pair of these. _/|\_ Namaste
I immediately feel at home in these shorts. So comfortable, supportive, and perfect fit.
These are very nice shorts, and I was excited to receive them. And while the quality appears to be nice as expected, they are smaller than XL's usually are. I would recommend a size or two up for most people. Beyond that, they definitely felt like high quality shorts. They also have a comfortable and supportive inner lining. They are ethically produced and eco-friendly. Nothing at all wrong with them except for sizing.
So glad I listened to my friends recommendation and got these in on the day before I’m scheduled to leave on vacation.Awesome fabric, good mobility, liner is comfortable and it’s very breathable.Looking forward to trying it at the gym, on the run, and in the ocean this week.Part 2: Wore these bad boys to the Caribbean, can confirm that it was a pleasure to wear and kept the boys cool!
My husband typically wears a size large in shorts (33/34 in pants) and these fit him perfectly in a large. They are longer on him than I expected (he's 5'9) - he has a very large and muscular butt and thighs which sometimes makes shorts too short but these don't have that problem. He did request that I cut out the liner (he found it too restricting, and I always cut out the liner on womens shorts too). Once that was done and they were washed, he said they were super comfortable and had the perfect amount of stretch. He was able to squat and move around without feeling restricted by the fabric at all. And without the liner (which is surprisingly heavy), they are now super lightweight. Overall, we're pleased with the quality and cut of these shorts and would recommend them, in your usual size! Hope this helps!
