Armed with design heritage from Italy despite its Hawaiian name, No Ka 'Oi is an activewear brand for the fearless, fashionable yogi who loves to make a statement. Breaking boundaries is what No Ka ‘Oi does successfully – wearing your yoga outfit out of class isn't an afterthought because of how chic it looks. Bring some glitz to your yoga session with this embroidered bra that comes with paillettes and silver lurex stripes, or go sporty with the Aukana leggings that will give your physique a flattering, leg-lengthening effect.

Vyayama

With a name referencing a 3,000-year old Sanskrit word that means “to move” or “to tame the inner breath”, Vyayama is taking its yoga-rooted vision seriously with custom-designed activewear that is responsibly and sustainably produced. All of its apparel is made from Tencel fabric crafted in Europe – an eco-friendly, renewable fibre that is comfortable and technically supportive. Fun fact: All its fabrics have been certified 100 per cent safe for the wearer by the European Oeko-Tex Standard 100. In a nutshell, you do not have to worry about harmful toxins from the fibres (or even from production components) being absorbed into your skin while you’re working up a sweat on your mat.

Ultracor

Touted to have the perfect fit and design, Ultracor’s appeal lies in its technology to flatter your form – even while you are attempting a downward dog. Its leggings feature a patented shapewear to lift your booty while engaging your core (and flattening your tummy in the process). Also, you do not have to worry about those irksome VPLs (visible panty lines) thanks to its seamless construction. One of its bestsellers is its Swarovski crystal-studded leggings, because who says you cannot rep bling while working out?

Beyond Yoga

LA-based luxury athleisure label Beyond Yoga is one of the rare brands out there that champion body inclusivity (#bodypositivity goals yas). Mostly manufactured in the US, the label caters for a wide range of sizes, from XXS to 3X, be it sports bras, midi pants or yoga leggings. If you have had difficulties trying to scour for yogawear that fits to a tee, check out the label’s fashionable yet functional pieces that include maternity wear for yoga enthusiasts/fashionable mums-to-be.

Karya Mats

Yoga mats do not get any prettier than the ones from Karya Mats, a purveyor of earth-friendly, art-printed mats that you can score online. Opened by partners Pika and Talha, the brand’s ethos is to create eco-conscious mats that are sustainable as they are non-toxic – all mats from Karya Mats are made of recyclable natural rubber with a microfibre suede surface. The best part? The designs are Instagram-worthy and come with inspirational quotes to ensure you focus on your flow. A recent addition to check out is the batik-inspired Teratai mat designed by textile designer Shan Shan Lim – a must for any yogi.
