Two things you will never have to chase: true friends and true love
- Mandy Hale
Lululemon Athletica has the best quality athletic apparel that I've owned. Yes they are expensive, but the quality and craftsmanship of their work justifies the price. They also stand behind their product and will replace items that fail from normal use. These aspects are great, but my absolute favorite thing about Lululemon is that they host weekly yoga classes for free!...
I love this community aspect of their business. I understand that they are a business, and free yoga classes also means yoga students in their store, but genuine community develops when people show up at the same place on a regular basis, and that trumps any additional motive the company may have. I would encourage anyone interested in trying out yoga to go to a couple months of classes and see if you connect to a teacher. Lululemon invites different teachers to some in and lead classes each week.
I am also a fan of Lululemon's yoga mats, which are actually priced more reasonably than other mats of the same quality. I have owned several yoga mats, but my go-to mat is my first Lululemon, now full of character from time spent practicing.
