The Yoga Edit: Everything You Need To Flow
Whether you’re a confident yogi or you’re just starting out, we’ve got everything your practice needs.
Not only is yoga a serious workout for the body, but it’s also great for your mental well-being too. By taking the time to just be present on the mat, even a quick 10-minute flow can make a huge impact on your mindset and headspace that day. That in itself probably explains why so many of us discovered the power of yoga practice during lockdown — and have decided to make it a permanent part of our routines going forward.
In fact, we’re so invested in the importance of this activity that MP, our bespoke clothing brand, decided to design and launch Composure — a tailor-made collection specifically for yoga. Scroll down for full details on this incredible new range.

About The Composure Collection
Composure is the first yoga specific collection that we’ve created and, as always, a whole lot of thought and care has gone into the design. We caught up with one of our designers, Emma Lucas, to get an insight into the process.
“I wanted this collection to be functional for various different types of yoga and appeal to all yogis. We decided to call it Composure as we wanted each style to really embody the idea of composure within yoga and the practise as a whole.”
“The collection is soft and flowing, non-restrictive and comfortable, making it ideal for all different styles of yoga — from hot yoga to Hatha.”
“I spent time researching into the various different forms of yoga to try to problem solve within the garments and create the most functional collection possible. I attended many yoga classes myself to get into the mindset and understand the wants and needs of our customers. I thought it was important to used subdued, calming colours with soft-feel fabrics throughout.”

Composure Vest, T-Shirt & Long Sleeve Top
Whether you want the extra coverage to be confident or just need something light for your hot yoga practice, we’ve got plenty of options for your top half.
Our Composure Vest is designed for a floaty feel, to move with your body throughout your practice rather than restrict it. Built-in mesh inserts at the chest and back have been strategically placed to provide the best ventilation and breathability, and the strappy cross-back design offers total freedom.
Providing slightly more coverage, our Composure T-Shirt is made for a classic regular fit with 4-way stretch fabric for ultimate comfort. It features an elasticated hem to allow you to customise the fit for your activity — no more t-shirt falling around your head during downward dog!
The Composure Long Sleeve Top is designed for a flattering cropped length, with 4-way stretch fabric that gives a tighter fit that still allows you to move. The cross-back design adds detail and the open back allows for more ventilation throughout your activity.
Composure Leggings & Cycling Shorts
Both our Composure Leggings and Composure Cycling Shorts are made from super-soft, 4-way stretch fabric to guarantee total comfort from start to finish. Both offer coverage you can be confident in during any posture and both feature a high, supportive waistband which will stay in place.
They also feature cover-stitch seams to minimise any chance of irritation and distraction during your flow.
Composure Hoodie & Joggers
Ideal for the warm-up and cool-down sections of your yoga class, this hoodie and jogger set are a must-have for your workout wardrobe.
The Composure Hoodie has been created with raglan sleeves and 4-way stretch fabric to allow for free movement, super-soft fabric to keep you comfy, and a cosy 3-piece hood.
The matching Composure Joggers are made from the same soft-touch fabric and feature an elasticated waistband for a customisable fit, along with elasticated cuffs to keep them in place.
We think you’ll struggle to take this set off once you’ve put it on — it’s just that good.
Composure Yoga Socks
Your practice deserves more than an old, holey pair of socks you just grabbed from the drawer. Treat yourself to these cushioned yoga socks and you’ll never look back, we promise.

Lauren is an English Literature graduate originally from the South. She’s always loved swimming, has discovered the power of weight training over the past few years, and has lots of room for improvement in her weekly hot yoga class.
On the weekends she’s usually cooking or eating some kind of brunch, and she enjoys trying out new recipes with her housemates – especially since shaking off student habits, like mainly surviving off pasta. Above all, she’s a firm believer in keeping a balance between the gym and gin.
