what is a declaration?

A declaration is a statement that follows "I am".

Declarations:
• bring you back to the core of who you are
• connect your vision and goals
• state your future

i am [____]

Whether we realize it or not, we are constantly making declarations, for example: “I am tired” or “I am too busy.” By recognizing what we are declaring, and recognizing the power of our statements, we can shift them from a place of negativity to a place of possibility.

“I am strength.”
“I am learning, growing, loving.”

Our words are powerful. What do yours say about you?

opening party declarations

In order to make our declarations more enduring, we asked local artist Buddy Jackson to create an art piece that could live in our store and around our community. Buddy stained a large piece of copper to read, “I am,” and then, for the party, cut the copper into hundreds of smaller squares, on which guests could write their declarations.

Buddy then reassembled the pieces of copper, so that the entire piece still reads, “I am,” but when looking at the artwork up-close, guests will be able to read all of our personal declarations.

what's your declaration?

We loved seeing our community of Franklin come together and share their declarations that will live on in Buddy’s artwork. The next time you are in your local lululemon, ask someone about declarations. Moreover, consider what you are declaring today and each day. As our store window currently reads, “Our words create. What are yours making?”

Happy anniversary to Hari Om, our Langley BC Strategic Sales partner!

We’ve been working with Hari Om for the past year, and this upcoming weekend (April 24th and 25th) they're celebrating their two-year anniversary as a studio, and one year as our partner. There's an even longer history here, as Valeria (one of the owners) and I worked together once before at lululemon Park Royal.

Valeria left a few months after I started to go off and start her yoga studio, and then a year later we reconnected when I came to the Strategic Sales team and found her while searching out potential partners in the Fraser Valley.

After one visit to this stunning studio I was sold. Langley is famous as the birthplace of BC, as the growing fur trade and the discovery of gold in 1858 brought people streaming this way. Today, Langley is still thought of as a hub for farming and horses – our mini cattle country.You walk into Hari Om, however, and it’s as though you’ve entered a modern oasis. The studio is reminiscent of a New York ballet studio with beautiful exposed brick, hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a small green space.

They also have tons of great yoga classes with everything from hot to yin to Kundalini to power and more. They also tend to have great guest teachers such as lululemon ambassador Chris Chavez popping in periodically to host workshops. During their celebration this weekend they will be offering free classes daily. I’m still deciding between 'Indian Groove’ and ‘So You Think You Can Hot Yoga’, but either way I will definitely be out there taking class and celebrating their two-year birthday party!
