items I got my yoga teaching certification 10 years ago after many dedicated years to a daily yoga practice. Now my routine has expanded to include HIIT, pilates and running (I ran my first half marathon in 2020!) I have tried many, many accessories and ap...

Yoga
My #1 must-have for any hot yoga class. I go to Core Power Yoga and I love these. The grips on the towel keep you from sliding around and the towel fits a standard yoga mat perfectly. I could not do class without this—and FYI, no dupes compare.
Manduka Yogitoes Skidless Towels
If you are a serious yogi, investing in a thicker mat is a game-changer. This mat is thick enough to give extra cushion but not too bulky or heavy. Can withstand high heat and lots of sweat. Easy to clean!
The Mat 5mm *Made With FSC™ Certified Rubber - Lululemon
I prefer a basic mat strap to a mat bag—I don’t like dealing with a zipper after class or having to roll up a wet mat just so to get it into a fabric sleeve. This is easy and gives my mat space to air out after a hot class. Easy to tuck away during c...
Loop It Up Mat Strap | Accessories - Lululemon
My holy grail legging. Worth the hype and price tag. I get the 25” inseam because I am 5’ 2”—but don’t forget that you can get free hemming in stores. I love these for high heat yoga classes (I don’t recommend running in them because they will pill i...
lululemon Align No Line™ High-Rise Pant 25" | Women's Leggings/Tights | lululemon
Pilates
The perfect pilates tank. Not too long, not too cropped—and has a built in bra. The fabric is soft and the cut is super flattering.
OFFLINE By Aerie The Hugger Tank Top
I wore Lululemon Aligns for so long that it was really hard for me to find any other leggings I liked nearly as much. These are a good second place pick. I do still prefer the Aligns for yoga and high heat, but I like these for pilates because they a...
Daily Legging – Women's Black Legging
Bombas knows what they are doing. I love these socks. The grips are perfect and they always have cute new designs. I do like the ankle length for pilates workouts.
Women's Studio Gripper Quarter Socks
My favorite layer for to and from classes. Lighter weight but still cozy—the inside is ultra plush. Opening the zipper all the way gives such a wide space to pull on/off—you don’t have to worry about ruining your perfect messy bun.
Scuba Oversized Funnel-Neck Half Zip | Women's Hoodies & Sweatshirts | lululemon
Running
These are the only running shoes I will wear. I did get my stride analyzed at a local running store and this is what they recommended for me. I got my first pair when I was training for my half marathon and have repurchased several more pairs. They a...
Ghost 18
This is one of the only Alo pieces that I truly love and have repurchased. I think technically these are designed for tennis, but I love them for running. They are a great length, light and loose material and they have a pocket that zips. I get my tr...
Match Point Short - Black
This is the only style sports bra that I like for running. It is listed as “medium support”—however, I find this to have the right amount of support without feeling too constricting. I do size up from my normal Lululemon size when I buy these. I have...
lululemon Energy Bra *Medium Support, B–D Cups | Women's Bras
These are a recent find for me. I love the buttery soft material and high neck cut. I do wish I had sized up one from my normal size for a slightly looser fit. The length on this one is really nice!
Energy Top – Women's Heather Grey Tank Top
I thought all socks were created equally… until I tried Bombas. Especially if you’re a distance runner, these are a must. They come in different lengths—I usually grab ankle height to keep my crazy tan lines in check.
Women's Run Ankle Sock 6-Pack
This is the latest version of the watch I have had. This is a splurge, but if you like tracking all your stats without the distraction of a smart watch, this is for you. I have worn my daily for almost 10 years and the battery still lasts about a wee...
Garmin Fenix Watches | DICK'S Sporting Goods
For cold-weather runs! Will keep you warm but the fabric is breathable. The best thing about these is that the material washes so nicely and really holds your detergent scent (no stinky clothes here!)
Swiftly Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt 2.0 *Waist Length | Women's Long Sleeve Shirts | lululemon
HIIT
I like these for HIIT classes because the lining underneath is shorts (vs the brief cut in most shorts). It makes me feel a little more covered when we are doing strength moves on the ground—but I can also run easily in these. I get my true Lululemon...
Court Rival High-Rise Short 3" | Women's Shorts | lululemon
Leak-proof so I can throw it in my bag. It also fits in the cup holder on most treadmills nicely.
