Gear Review: Lululemon No Limit Top

Jenny Sugar — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:07:07 PST

I don't usually get very fancy with my yoga clothes. A fitted tank with a built-in sports bra is my usual go-to top. It keeps my girls covered and in place, and the fitted body stays put when I go upside down. But some days ~~you ate too many cookies~~ you just don't feel like wearing something tight. You could sport a loose shirt but it doesn't offer the most flattering look, and as soon as you start moving, it can end up exposing your belly even more than a tight tank. Enter the Lululemon No Limit Tank ($64). Sexy is the first word I thought when I saw it, but when I tried it in a yoga class, functional was the second.

Celebrate National Yoga Month With Salutation Nation

Jenny Sugar — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 15:06:11 PDT

This Saturday, Sept. 10, at 9 a.m., head outside to celebrate National Yoga Month by unrolling your mat and joining thousands of people for Salutation Nation. Hosted by Lululemon, the event encourages people across the US to practice yoga simultaneously. The yoga apparel giant is also hosting complimentary classes at locations across the nation, so yogis can practice together, too. Find one near you on the Salutation Nation website.

Hopping into a yoga class at a studio is always a great experience, but flowing through postures outside with hundreds of men and women moving and breathing along with you sounds pretty powerful. And when you take a moment to think about the thousands of yogis who stop what they're doing all across America to breathe in Down Dog with you, it's even more amazing. Watch this video to learn more about the event.

Are you doing anything to celebrate National Yoga Month?

Gear Review: Lululemon Hot Yoga Hobo Bag

Leta Shy — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 03:49:50 PDT

Considering my everyday handbag is large enough to carry more things than necessary, I was happy to receive the roomy Lululemon Hobo Bag ($118) for review. At 15 inches wide by 13.5 inches tall, this bag is made to fit everything you'll need before and after your workout, whether that's a sweaty Bikram class or a heart-pounding gym session.

After a few weeks of trucking the bag to and from work, the gym, and yoga class, I've gotten used to being able to lug around more gear than I probably should. For one, the Hobo bag holds its shape whether it's packed or empty, which makes it easy to fill when I'm getting my gear ready at night. A surprising number of pockets and compartments makes gym organization easy too - there are three interior mesh pockets, one zippered, for small items (most pockets have a label, like "before," "after", "keys," and, naturally, "chocolate"), not to mention a strap to hold your yoga mat (it will stick out of the unzipped top). On the outside there are two large zippered compartments that can fit your clothes, and two outside pockets for anything from a yoga towel to your phone; they also have toggle ties, which will keep your water bottle from spilling. With these organizational amenities it's no wonder the bag can fit everything I need; in addition to my shoes, sports bra, pants, cosmetics bag, and multiple workout shirts, I'm able to stuff my laptop in it as well.
