Almost every Sunday morning I head to Roosevelt Field mall in Garden City, NY and patiently wait outside an attractive store front on the second floor with 30 or so other early risers.  No – I don’t run in a pack of aggressive shop-a-holics – I’m just excited for my weekly dose of free yoga at Lululemon!

Lululemon, an athletic apparel store that makes clothes for “yoga, running, dancing and most other sweaty pursuits,” has locations around the globe that offer in-store events ranging from self defense to my favorite Sunday morning routine – free yoga.  Once I found out that there was a store not more than 15 minutes from my apartment I couldn’t resist checking it out.

The store is cleared of any floor exhibits and each month instructors from one studio on Long Island are featured and demonstrate the different types of classes they have to offer, including Bikram, Vinyasa, Yogalates and more.  My favorite so far has been with an upbeat Vinyasa teacher from a studio in Freeport, NY.  As a yoga newbie I never quite knew how many different types of practice areas there were and love getting the chance to test out the various forms of yoga while at the store.  

 

I really look forward to these weekly, early morning sessions and love the type of healthy and calm lifestyle Lululemon promotes in their mission statement, which is posted in many places all over the store.  I would definitely recommend checking out a store near you to see what they have to offer and maybe even think of joining a class yourself! 

Namaste.
