This is a nationwide event and its free.

It\u2019s an hour-long vinyasa class to recognize that we are part of a community (not &#8220;we&#8221; as in lululemon, but &#8220;we&#8221; as in humans). It&#8217;s about our friends, teachers, neighbors and their friends, teachers and neighbors joining as one to practice yoga together! Ambassador Erika Burkhalter will be leading the practice in the courtyard outside of our store. All levels and athletic abilities are welcome to join! See you there! *Please bring your own yoga mat for the practice!<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">KeepWell will be featured in the store and we&#8217;ll be handing out free samples and talking to guests about the benefits of our drink. If you are in the area we hope you will stop by and say &#8220;hi&#8221;. We&#8217;d love to meet you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I was looking around the lululemon web site and after buying a pair of shorts that I needed (yes, I\u00a0<em>need <\/em>them, no matter what my husband says) I came across photos of a type of yoga I had never heard of. It is called slackline or slackasana yoga.\u00a0Slackline yoga requires a person\u00a0to balance on a 1-inch piece of webbing (similar to what rock climbers use)\u00a0lightly tensioned between two solid anchor points, and\u00a0perform yoga poses on it. The sense of balance is truly amazing &#8211; like Cirque du Soleil amazing. I can barely do a downward facing dog, let alone balance myself on a rope and attempt to do a yoga pose.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You can see more <a title=\"lululemon photos on flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lululemonathletica\/sets\/72157624414853269\/\" target=\"_blank\">lululemon slackline photos on flickr\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0and a remarkable\u00a0video demonstration from <a title=\"Yoga Slackers on You Tube\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uklYBuQDwIw\" target=\"_blank\">Yoga Slackers on You Tube<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Hope you have a great weekend.
