“I purchased Relay Active’s Kayla Pocket Leggings in Stone/Rose/Icy Blue and Kella Pocket Crop Top in Icy Blue. These are the BEST yoga/workout clothes I have ever owned. First, the material. It feels sumptuous on my skin. Second, the practicality and design of the features including a back pocket for stashing one’s phone is awesome—a convenience I never knew how much I wanted and now appreciate. Third, the pattern and color offerings of the leggings are gorgeous. All add up to feeling great and looking good. And the cherry on top? Relay Active donates 1% to Animal Rescue, a value near and dear to my heart. Will reorder more!”

“In person yoga at the Charlottesville studio was great - Ann is a superb yoga instructor and the studio is a great space. The RLY acticewear is also super comfortable and the fabric is very soft - great for long runs on hot, humid days.”
