Job Title: Alumni Educator at our Rideau Centre store in Ottawa
Lara Skibinski (Wong) was a choir geek and non-athlete in a previous life. I actually was known to hide in the woods during gym class. Shortly after moving to Vancouver in 2002 I bought a pair of boogie crops and a new life as active living junkie began.
Since then I have introduced my lululemon gear to everything including rowing, commuting and spin classes, grouse grinding, yoga, running, wall climbing, burlesque and more – amazingly those pants are still holding up 7 years later.
Recently, I moved back east to Ottawa where I was an educator at the Rideau Centre lululemon store. What I loved most about my job at lululemon is that I get to meet amazing people and help them discover products to help them achieve healthy goals they had never thought possible. EVERY DAY!
Just a few of my favourite things include: double Americanos with cream, running fast into the wind, mountain tops, our National Anthem, a perfectly balanced boat and hanging out with my new husband Anthony.

The term “technical [...]

You know the Groove Pant – the iconic black stretchy pant with the flattering waistbands that comes in pretty colours and makes all our butts look so good! To some, the idea of wearing tight pants is as appealing as being the 40 Year Old Virgin getting his chest waxed (If you’ve never seen this [...]
