With quality apparel that doesn’t skimp on price, Vivre Active is perhaps one of the most well-known local brands amongst yoga enthusiasts, suited for light - to - medium intensity workouts. Their apparels are designed and manufactured from scratch, and are better suited for the Asian woman in mind. And it shows - many customers can’t stop raving about how comfortable the yoga wear is.

Wearing the right sports bra can make all the difference on your workout. And the founders of Project Sora have addressed all your workout woes with their signature crop tops.

The tops are smooth and sweat-wicking, and only going for an affordable $65 a pop.
