I have a few of their yoga tops. Nice material, bad fit. One of them is really long. I don't need a yoga top to cover my butt. It's not an area I want to highlight necessarily and it makes me look even shorter. The other yoga top won't stay put over my rather small chest. I dunno; I'm just not impressed, especially for the price.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

I have never heard of this place. I did a quick search. We have a store here, apparently. It's in Hyde Park (old money neighborhood)...that seems to explain a lot.
At least I don't leave slime trails.

I don't look specifically at yoga-oriented clothing. But was shocked at the pricing. Don't know how they stayed alive this long when many other competitors.
They are Canadian.

When DH and I were in Chicago this past March, I noticed Lululemon stores every few blocks. We went into one of them, and while I got friendly service, the store kind of turned me off. I love yoga and want it to be accessible to more people, but the overt commercialization of it turns me off. I realize there is lots of money to be made on yoga and yoga-inspired clothes, but I think I'll stick to just buying stuff online so it's not quite so in my face.

That's exactly how I felt.
Believe me, I like nice yoga clothes (or any clothes), but something just turned me off about this place.2015 Trek Silque SSL

I went in looking for capri shorts. At my height most just look like high water pants on me
Right now I'm wearing board shorts, I got at Title9, they look like capri length on me.
The sales person said if I find a pair I like they will shorten the hem for me, no extra charge
I like that emphasis on service.
Still I prefer Title9 for athletic and other gear .... and TE of course

I'm a Lucy fan for yoga gear. Mostly b/c they have an outlet store in Williamsburg, VA that has some super awesome deals. I'm pretty thin, but I'd have to weigh about 25 pounds less to look "good" in Lululemon.
