lululemon atlanta

have you been to the lululemon store in atlanta? it is a mini-showroom on Highland Avenue in Morningside, not quite a full store, but they carry plenty of options for yoga tops, pants, and activewear. They use technical, sturdy, stretchy, wicking fabrics, and welcome feedback on how to make their gear even better. lululemon is rather pricey but their items definitely wear well, and of course I am in yoga gear as much as possible!

Recently I've been wearing the groove pant, which has a colorblock waistband on one side, and solid black on the other - it's reversible. At first, I thought the reversible concept was silly, but now I love it. I'm also trying out an ujiyaii tank and an organic cotton tank.
I'm hoping that more yogis and fitness folks shop the store so it can expand into a full-blown store with the full lululemon line - they don't sell online.

A fabulous thing about lululemon atlanta is that they offer free weekly pilates + yoga classes every weekend, often led by studios around town. They also offer free health-centric workshops to the community - i went to a very groovy one in May on journal writing. The philosophy behind the company, based out of Canada, is very uplifting and empowering... check out their manifesto.

check out lululemon in atlanta. my friend from teacher training, Missy, is usually working there, and she'll get you all set up with what you need. It's so important to be comfortable in your yoga clothes!
