Meet the Contributor: lululemon

Founded in Vancouver BC in 1998, the first lululemon shared its retail space with a yoga studio. We’ve been growing ever since, and our technical yoga clothes and apparel are now at over 100 stores across Canada, the U.S., Australia and Hong Kong.

We make technical athletic apparel for yoga, running, dancing, and most other sweaty pursuits.

All lululemon locations have strong ties to our local communities. We host in-store events ranging from self-defense to goal-setting workshops to free yoga classes led by our community ambassadors.
