Meet the Contributor: Lauren
Job Title: Assistant Manager at lululemon athletica Corte Madera.
Lauren’s passion for fitness and social media led her to her position as Key Leader, focusing on community, at the Carlsbad Forum (San Diego) lululemon athletica store.
A novice triathlete and experienced runner who just recently started using a Garmin (!) and heads the store’s run club, Lauren has decided to become a “real” cyclist, and will ride her first century later this year.
A fervent music fan (U2 and Bruce top her play lists) and ice cream aficionado, Lauren motivates herself through the tough work-outs by checking out new tunes during her training and rewards herself with frozen yogurt at the end.

Stop the mania. The this-is-not-the-right-head-band-for-me mania! Do you have slick hair? An odd-shaped head? Bangs? A mild case of generalized anxiety disorder and an empty pocketbook from testing every kind of headband out there, only to be left with a general feeling of malaise from constant slippage? Look no further than the Slipless Headband, made [...]

It wasn’t me that I expected to change and inspire when we created “Love Your Body” month at the Carlsbad Forum store. We created a recent store window display to educate on body dysmorphic disorder, running rampant in fit rooms across America, especially in our community.

When I started wearing lululemon clothes, I thought of them as mostly running and yoga apparel. Since beginning working here last year – low and behold – I have discovered some gems for cycling wear.

I’m a runner, not a yogi, so I never thought I would feel a void for my yoga practice. I brought yoga into my life when I started training for my first triathlon in 2007, and it became a vital addition to my exercise regime when I was training for my first half marathon later [...]
