Found my Imbodhi Match!
Not all Imbodhi are created equal. My first Imbodhi was the Mari. For multiple reasons that model wasn’t the best for my body. The Lila however, is everything I was looking for! I have both the Lila in mauve rose and moss. I prefer the moss as the ribbed fabric stays in place (the mauve under-shorts part rides up and has to be pulled down every hour or so).
The pros: great colors (I have the moss and mauve rose), medium top support (I’m a 30E and I still wear a sports bra for fitness classes where I’m moving the top of my body a lot, like yoga flow); perfect length and breathability for summer or hot weather (I live in Miami). I’d probably prioritize the Lila in ribbed fabrics, as aside from the material not riding up, the ribbed fabric also seems to be more kind to resisting sweat/not showing sweat.
Cons: I learned with my Mari that Imbodhi requires handwashing; because of the undershorts, the Lila can take a little longer to dry. The non-ribbed fabric rides up, and in general the lighter colors (like Mauve Rose) show sweat fairly easily.
I have a full time job in corporate and teach part time as a yoga teacher. The Lila is my go to outfit for teaching after work or going to non-sweaty fitness classes (like Pure Barre) before work; I throw it in my backpack.
