| - I wanted to update this review because a number of people have asked me why I am such a fan of Lululemon. Well, yes, the clothes do tend to make women look amazing, but my reason is more personal.
You see, I'm 6'3", 200 lbs, and when I first started doing yoga I had a cheap, regular sized mat which meant that during class I had to readjust my place on the mat between every position and I couldn't get into any sort of flow. So, I talked to some people who had more yoga experience and they recommended that I try the Big Mat from Lululemon. The Big Mat is wider and longer than a regular mat and it has allowed me to actually enjoy yoga and get better at my practice.
The other problem I've always found is that gym clothes aren't often made for tall people. In fact, one of my biggest pet peeves throughout the years has been the fact that most workout pants are too short. Luckily Lululemon is a Canadian company, so its men's clothing is designed for physically fit hockey players, many of whom are tall. (In fact some pants even say that they will work for hockey butt, i.e. the large glutes gained from constant skating). Lululemon pants come in 32-36" inseams. They fit and they continue to fit even after being washed. They are also ncredibly comfortable... in fact now I know why women are so fond of wearing yoga pants everywhere!
Plus, I'm really impressed with the company's commitment to the community. Every store sponsors free weekly yoga classes. In the Phoenix area you can go on Wednesday nights to the Scottsdale Valley Ho, and on Sunday's to the Biltmore Fashion Park or Scottsdale Quarter. Plus all three stores recently came together to sponsor the first every Mistletoe Flow which was a fun run along the canal followed by a yoga class at the Scottsdale Valley Ho. And these classes aren't just some cheap, half-assed classes that they provide. Lululemon works with the best instructors in town and participants get a quality experience that doesn't cost a dime.
Lululemon, it's not just for women anymore!
