As a yoga teacher and studio owner, I spend more time in my activewear than in ‘‘normal’ clothes! When I’m not teaching yoga, I’m generally working from my home office, practicing yoga, doing a workout, walking the dog, or at the beach.

So, when I heard Zyia Active was launching in Australia, I was instantly intrigued…When I got to see, touch and feel the quality of the fabric, the cleverness of the product design and the variety of styles - I was in!

Read on for 5 things I love about Australia’s newest activewear brand - Zyia.

Comfort

Great activewear makes you feel better, and when you feel better, you get to be the best version of you!

Before Zyia had launched here, a friend in the US sent me a couple of items. The Ombre Light n Tight leggings were seriously the most comfortable and flattering yoga pants I've ever worn. And I've worn a lot ;-) The Kettle Moon tank was the perfect length, cut and so soft.

Also, to let you into a little secret….until Zyia I didn't own a pair of joggers - or trackies as we say here. Yes, they are comfortable, but I always found them very unflattering.

Then I put on the Navy Cozy Joggers and I was converted! So comfy AND flattering. Skye even said "Mumma! You have tracksuit pants like me. We have matching!" I’ve actually been surprised at how many people have commented on the Joggers…comfort is clearly popular!

Zyia has joggers for comfort that also transition to a day, or even a night. Joggers with a lot of detail and some that transition from your bed to cute work attire. Lots of versatility!

2. Variety & Versatility

Variety is the spice of life, and I know I get bored if things stay the same…Zyia brings out new releases every. single. week.

The range is constantly changing and this keeps it fresh - which I love. It does also mean that if you fall in love with something, you should get it - as once it’s gone it may not return!

The versatility also blows my mind. Activewear for every activity you can think of - tennis, Crossfit, yoga, running. Bras with varying levels of support, with zips, no zips, racerback, strappy…the list goes on. And it’s the same with the leggings - drawstrings, high waistband, pockets, no pockets, compression material, softer fabric.

3. Quality

Most of the fabrics that Zyia uses are 4-way stretch fabric to help with stretch ability, compression, form, fit and comfort. Zyia also understands that there is so much more than that to good activewear and is always improving and investing in innovation and technology in it’s fabrics.

There are tops made from copper-infused fibers to prevent the growth of odour-causing bacteria. These garments fight stink between washings and are ideal for those who perspire a lot, or who have to pack their used workout wear into a gym bag. I wish I’d had these when I was working in the corporate world - practicing hot yoga at lunchtimes and teaching after work!

I’ve been so impressed with how well the fabrics wash and this is always a great indication of the quality of clothing. Oh and I have three washing tips for you: 1. Put your workout gear on a cool wash 2. Turn it inside out so the logo will not fade 3. Do not use fabric softener.

4. Product Design

The four-way stretch fabric, along with intelligent, thoughtful design, allows the clothing to move with you, constantly adapting to each twist, lunge, and bend. But adaptive stretch is just one piece of the puzzle.

To achieve the kind of performance-enhancing comfort a professional athlete expects from their clothing, they include many other design features and technologies.

Plus it’s just so well thought out! Pockets in the right place and bra pads that don’t move around or come out in the wash!

While I’m on the topic of thoughtful, there’s one more thing I love. The innovation doesn’t stop at designs, they also pursue technologies to make their clothing more sustainable. From plant-based fibers to recycled fibers to compostable packaging, Zyia work hard to make sure the clothing they develop is as good for our planet as it is for your workout.

Light n Tight Leggings - also available in pink, black, plus + many more other colours + as shorts!

5. You can get free gear!

I often get asked by yoga students where my leggings or activewear is from and in the past I’ve made recommendations. But no-one has ever paid me for it!

Plus, you don’t even need to be a Zyia Rep to get get free gear. You can simply get a few friends together (online or in-person) and host a party. You get Zyia credits to spend on your own activewear PLUS 50% off a couple of items.

Who doesn’t love a freebie?!

So as you can see, Zyia ticks all the boxes for me! It’s the most flattering and comfortable activewear I’ve ever worn; for the whole family; run by inspiring women, exceptional quality and sustainable.
