THE YOGA CENTER
NIKE SPHERE THERMAL CORE WARMER
This top performs equally well on the yoga mat, getting there or out at night in Manhattan-it was inadvertently tested for all. Nike's new Dry-FITTM fabric creates a microclimate of comfort (not too hot, not too sweaty) next to the skin and the piece wicks gallons before becoming saturated. Seamless construction and four- way stretch mean total comfort and ease of movement. Nike, www.nikesphere.com. $60
MILLET SOFT SHELL
For moodier days, you'll want to approach or leave the center without a care for the weather. This softshell is so lightweight and breathable that it feels more like a thick shirt. It is slim fitted, and made of Gore Next to Skin technology (N2S)-laminated 3-layer fabric to keep you protected from the wind and rain. Millet, www.millet.fr. 800-514-4807, $179

WHITE SIERRA KAZ HOODIE AND KAZPANT
Like tea on a rainy day, this 97 percent cotton, 3 percent Spandex French terry set just feels comfort- able. The pants have a draw cord and wide legs, and the hoodie has a kangaroo pocket and full zip. They're perfect to slip on after class, when spring is in the air, but you don't want to get a post-yoga chill. White Sierra,
