Break the sweat

Enhance your yoga practice with

the latest in high-performance fabrics.

They’re moisture wicking, odor quashing,

and super breathable to bring you a new

level of comfort. By Molly Clarke

The Icebreaker Sprite Racerback

Bra is made of 96 percent

merino wool, a nonitchy and

renewable fiber with natural

odor resistance and temperature

regulation, sourced from sheep

in New Zealand’s Southern Alps

($55, icebreaker.com).

Made from hand-mixed organic

cotton and organic bamboo viscose

(fibers formed from the soft inner

pith of the bamboo trunk), the

Tasc Performance Nola Legging

has a super-soft feel that you’ll

love in the studio and beyond

($68, tascperformance.com). The Onzie Wave long-sleeve shirt

is the ultimate layering piece for

your practice. A blend of polyester,

cotton, and Spandex, it has sheer

stripes that make it airy and

quick drying ($45, onzie.com).

Drying up to three times faster than regular cotton,

the FitKnix by Knix Wear Athletic Thong’s cotton

gusset panel will keep you dry during the most

vigorous vinyasa class. The Lycra freshFX fabric also

helps combat odor and has a seamless design to

reduce panty lines ($20, knixwear.com).

A combo of Tencel fibers cultivated from raw

eucalyptus wood and merino wool, Ortovox’s

Competition Cool Tank comprises four separate knit

structures, with thicknesses customized to the body

regions that build heat during movement, so you

stay naturally cool during class ($59, ortovox.com).
