Recently, I make quite a few changes in my yoga practice. I no longer strictly follow the Ashtanga sequence. I still practice all the poses given to me, which is Standing Sequence → First or Second Half of Primary Series → Second Series up to Eka Pada Sirsasana → Finishing Sequence
However, I do not follow the sequence after the standing poses. It just works better for my body. I group poses with the same target area together. For example, I do Marichyasana C and D followed by Pasasana as they are all twisting postures. I add hip opening drills like 90-90 and pigeon pose before doing Kurmasana and Supta Kurmasana followed by Eka Pada Sirsasana. What I do will not be approved by Ashtanga tradition, but I do what feels right to my body. About WISKII - I thought I knew a lot of athleisure brands, but there are still many great companies out there waiting to be discovered. What I am sharing today is one of them. WISKII is a London based activewear company, working to add a blissful style to our everyday physical activities. The company's goal is to make picture-perfect athleisure pieces that truly blend comfy sports fabrics with dashing trends to mix and match for daily wear. Everything is designed by sports lovers. They work with leading textile brands like YCRA® and NILIT® to create pieces that fit like a second skin. They are body sculpting, extra stretchy, and incredibly soft, giving you that nude sensation and providing support for every movement you make.

WISKII reached out to me last December, before Christmas, asking for collaboration. I took a glimpse of their website and immediately fell in love with their designs. They are chic and trendy. Most importantly, their customers have a lot of positive things to say about the products. Without hesitation, I happily accept their invitation. I received two outfits, Python High Waist Legging / Luna Sports Top and Beyond Legging in Denim / Beyond Sports Bra. Please allow me share the python outfit today and I will post denim set in the next few weeks. Stay tune!
It is made in China.
Performance - WISKII Python High Waist Legging covers most needs for yoga and gym workouts. The fabric is stretchy, breathable and sweaty wicking. It is also fast dry. The python pattern hides sweat marks well. The legging is medium compression. It can be worn for various exercises. Personally, I prefer wearing it for workouts, including strength training and HIIT, instead of yoga. I normally wear leggings made with the lower compression and brushed fabric for yoga, such as Beyond Yoga Spacedye Caught In The High Waisted Midi Leggings and Lululemon Align Tights.
Quality - The legging is sewn with flatlocking seams throughout. It has an H-shaped, unlined gusset, which is the same design as Lululemon Align Pants. After owning it for about 3 months, I have no complaints. The shape and color are holding up well. There is no pilling after several washes.  Fit - It runs small. I wear S instead of my regular size XS. For your reference, I am Lululemon size 4. The inseam is about an inch too long. As a result, there is extra fabric bunching / wrinkle up around my ankle. It is not ideal, but it's manageable. Overall, the legging gives a slim and elongated look. However, it doesn't shape or lift the butt as nicely as Top Rated Leggings I've shared. There is my fourth pair v-shaped waist legging. It does keep my belly tucked in and provide great coverage for the midsection. It gives a flattering look and enhances the waist curvature well. When there is an encased elastic band on the waist, I find it less comfortable and more prone to pinch the skin. It's even more so when it's v-shaped. Among all waistband designs, the flat waist is still my favorite. This is solely my personal preference. I know many people like the encased elastic band as it is less likely to slide down.
On a side note, WISKII isn't a very inclusive brand. There are only three sizes available for their products, S, M and L, which are equivalent to Lululemon 4, 6 and 8. They don't even offer L for some items, such as the sports bra I wear here. They aren't made for petite, tall, and curvy women, unfortunately. Comfort - The fabric is soft and breathable. The texture is quite similar to Lululemon Nulux, barely there sensation yet enough support for the workout. When I first put the legging on, the stitches / seams on the waistband (pointed out in the picture below) is scratchy and uncomfortable. The good news is that the discomfort goes away as I start working out and sweating.  Do I recommend WISKII Python High Waist Legging? People who are looking for versatile and high quality workout pants, and don't mind spending a little extra money, I say yes. It covers all performance needs, including four-way stretch, sweat wicking, and breathability. The v-shaped waistband keeps the tummy tucked in. With that being said, there are few things to be considered. First of all, seams along the waistband is on the rougher side. It can be scratchy for those with a sensitive skin. Second, it is not the best butt-sculpting legging I've tried on.
Details of WISKII Python Luna Sports Bra -WISKII Python Luna Sports Bra is one of my new favorites. The cut-out design on the side and the back is super cute, different to most sports bras in the market. Not only is it comfortable, but it also provides great coverage. It is low to medium support. I suggest to wear it for low impact workouts, such as yoga. I did try it on for HIIT, and it doesn't seem to have enough support when jumping. It may be a concern for chested women, but it doesn't bother me.  Top: WISKII Python High Waist Legging, Python Black, S (runs small). Bottom: WISKII Python Luna Sports Bra, Python Black, M (runs small). WISKII Python Luna Sports Bra runs small. I normally wear S and XS for certain brands (praNa and Alo Yoga), but I have to size up to M (34A-B) according to the size chart. As I pointed up earlier, the brand doesn't offer a wide range of sizes and there are only S and M available for this bra.  Price – $62 (it was gifted to me). Size – It runs small and I wear M. Fabric – 76% Nylon, 24% Spandex. Style – Push-up, thick removable cups. Support – Low to medium support. Design For – Yoga and low impact workouts.  While there are many things to like about this bra, I am not a fan of the removable pads that come with it. It is thick and not breathable. Push-up bras are the mainstream in the Asia market, even for sports bras. I don't understand why people want to put on a thick padding during their workouts. It can't be comfortable. Anyway, I replace unbreathable thick pads with Lululemon thin cups, and it works just fine. Some friends of mine prefer no padding shelf bras. If you are one of them, you can wear it without any.
