HEAT IT UP
A hot yoga class in the middle of February can cure even the worst case of winter chill. High temperatures and deep stretching? I mean, what’s not to love! We designed this low coverage, hot yoga gear with lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics to help keep us cool. Let’s be honest...Trikanasana in 105˚F is hot enough.

Is there a specific hot yoga class you are really into right now?
|
 |
I like hot at yyoga. I also recently went to my first Moksha class in East Vancouver and I loved it. I found the flow energizing but also very restful and rejuvenating.

|
What makes designing gear for hot yoga challenging? Is there a specific problem you were trying to solve with these designs?
|
|
The balance of coverage and breathability can be challenging. When we were designing the Heat It Up gear we focused on making easy to move in, easy to sweat in and easy to peel off after class. |
|
What makes Power Luxtreme and luon light fabrics so great for hot yoga?
|
|
Both of these fabrics are moisture-wicking and breathable. Power Luxtreme also feels cool to the touch, which in a bonus in 105˚F heat.

|
Did you have a chance to try out any of the Heat It Up gear during the design process?
|
|
Yes! I wore the shorts to hot yoga a bunch of times. They are awesome for the yogi who's looking to feel free and wants to wear next to nothing in hot class.
|
|
Do you have any favourite features?
|
|
I love having a no-dig waistband and a drawcord in both the Heat It Up shorts and the crops so I don't have to worry about them staying in place. I also love having a front closure on the bra because it makes it easy to get it off after class.
