Which short suits your practice
For pilates, reformer and mat work Start with the In Motion Bike Short 14cm. Its 14cm (5.5 inch) leg gives you mid-thigh coverage, and StudioLuxe feels buttery soft with four-way stretch.
For more thigh coverage The In Motion Bike Short 18cm adds 4cm in leg length, with the same fabric and fit.
If you'd rather layer, wear the In Motion Scoop Bra under an oversized tee for the walk in. Black keeps things simple, and Espresso and Stone Brown give you a softer alternative on selected styles.

When the workout slows down, comfort matters more.
Reformer, yoga and floor work ask you to bend, stretch and move through positions where stiff or overly compressive shorts can become very noticeable. In Motion takes a softer approach. StudioLuxe feels buttery soft with gentle support and four-way stretch, while high-rise waistbands give you coverage through the middle. Turn-back hems help fitted styles stay comfortably in place as you move. Choose 14cm (5.5 inches) for a mid-thigh fit or 18cm (7 inches) when you'd like more of the leg covered. Soft support. Plenty of stretch.
Bike shorts or leggings for pilates?
Both can work. It comes down to the coverage you prefer. Bike shorts leave more of the lower leg uncovered, while leggings extend to the ankle. In Motion offers buttery-soft StudioLuxe across both styles for pilates and lower-intensity movement.
14cm or 18cm shorts for reformer?
Choose based on how much thigh coverage you prefer. The 14cm length is roughly 5.5 inches and sits around mid-thigh, while the 18cm length is roughly 7 inches and covers more of the leg.
What are the best shorts for pilates?
Look for a soft fabric that stretches easily and supports you without feeling overly compressive. The In Motion Bike Short 14cm uses buttery-soft StudioLuxe with gentle support and four-way stretch.
Are bike shorts good for yoga?
Yes, especially if you prefer a fitted short that moves closely with you. In Motion uses StudioLuxe with gentle support and four-way stretch for lower-intensity movement.
What length shorts are best for yoga and pilates?
Choose based on the thigh coverage you prefer. The 14cm (5.5 inch) style gives you a shorter fit, while the 18cm (7 inch) option adds more coverage.
What does no front seam mean in bike shorts?
It means there's no centre-front seam running through the short. The In Motion Bike Short uses this construction for a smoother feel through reformer and floor work.
Are high-rise shorts good for pilates?
A high-rise waistband gives you more coverage through the middle as you bend and stretch. In Motion pairs that fit with contouring seams and gentle support.
How do I find yoga shorts that don't ride up?
Look for a fitted leg with a hem designed to stay comfortably in place. In Motion Bike Shorts use turn-back hems, in 14cm and 18cm lengths depending on the coverage you prefer.
It comes down to how you like to move. A fitted short sits closer through floor work. Softer stretch and gentle support keep the feel comfortable rather than compressive.
