			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>... clap your hands!</p>
<p>Here at lululemon athletica’s Store Support Centre, we have a truly wonderful yoga and fitness program. Five days a week, instructors come into our light-filled studio to conduct classes consisting of various styles and degrees of difficulty throughout the day – and all you have to do is grab a (provided) mat and show up. With all these resources at my fingertips, you’d think I’d be the downest dog in town, right?</p>
<p>Wrong. Exceedingly, surprisingly, embarrassingly incorrect.</p>
<p>It’s time for a shameful admission: In my four months of working here thus far, I have NOT been to a yoga class at the Store Support Centre (editor’s note: those meowing noises are the symphony of a litter of inflexible kittens pawing their way out of the bag).</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8199" title="alexis about to do yoga" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/alexis5001.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /><br />
<em>Alexis is going to her first yoga class today!</em></p>
<p>It didn’t start this way. I had the best of intentions, sure. But like many of you, I was so caught up in the workings of my new job that I completely forgot what attracted me to lululemon in the first place.</p>
<p>The reason I’m sharing this with you is to prove a point – this can happen to anyone with the best of intentions, even someone working in a building BASED around yoga. It doesn’t matter how near or far you are from your yoga facility, or gym class; how cold it is outside, how much work you have, or how your running crops are in the wash. If you want to make excuses, you can.</p>
<p>Clichéd, but true: you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. Well friends, get ready, because this old chestnut (neigh?) is getting ready to take a trot (scratch that: CANTER!) through the Hatha fields on Monday with Ingrid, one of our lovely instructors. As for her correcting my woeful use of animal metaphor, it’s too soon to tell.</p>
<p>What are you going to do today with no excuses?</p>

<p><em>Meet Shannon, our amazing <a href="http://www.lululemon.com/stlouis/stlouis?cid=blog">St. Louis Showroom </a>Manager!</em></p>
<h2>What is your role at lululemon?</h2>
<p>Community Creator (a.k.a St. Louis Showroom Manager)</p>
<h2>What is the difference between a showroom and a store?</h2>
<p>A showroom is a "cozier" version of a lululemon store; small and intimate, and more boutique-like... it’s like stopping by a friend's home to catch up and see what’s new. We operate just like a retail store in terms of offering tons of great product, but we spend as much time out in the community as we do in the showroom, so our hours are a little funny as we are not open every day and may close early for private events and trunk shows. We do our own painting and arranging. Some may call it "kitschy", but I prefer "homey", perhaps even "endearing". The showroom atmosphere engenders such a personal guest experience that ultimately creates authentic relationships. It's so amazing!</p>
<h2>How did you come to lululemon?</h2>
<p>I received my first pair of <a href="http://shop.lululemon.com/Groove_PantR/pd/np/500/p/1021.html?cid=blog">Groove pants</a>a few years ago and fell in love with the product. After completing my Masters in Spanish Literature and realizing the academic route was not for me, I began researching companies and met MK Letchworth who came to St. Louis to open the showroom here – her energy was INCREDIBLE and her enthusiasm for lululemon, contagious. It was an instant connection; we had so much in common! I applied online for positions in New York, was contacted by lululemon and ended up finding the best fit and opportunity right here in St. Louis with the fabulous MK (now lululemon masonville assistant manager!).</p>
<h2>Tell us about your community:</h2>
<p>St. Louis is friendly, loyal and authentic. It is a cosmopolitan city with world-class restaurants, museums, sports teams - but all coupled with a quaint, small-town feel. In terms of health and fitness, this is a running and fitness community where yoga is really taking off!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4372" title="st louis" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/sr1.jpg" alt="st louis" width="500" height="333" /><br />
<em>Inside the St. Louis Showroom!</em></p>
<h2>What is a typical Wednesday like for you?</h2>
<p>No typical day really – but in general I rise early, take a cardio class or go for a run, eat breakfast, participate in a conference call, grab a coffee and head to the showroom where I hang out with friends and make new ones talking about the latest and greatest lululemon gear, fave yoga class, new restaurants, goal setting, etc., and receive new product! After work I will drop in on a yoga class (or as of November in St. Louis, <a href="http://www.lululemon.com/stlouis/stlouis/events/event-16828-2009-12-09?cid=blog">run with the lululemon run club</a>!) make dinner and spend time with family and friends.</p>
<h2>How do you usually sweat once a day?</h2>
<p>I love to run, spin, practice yoga and take crazy cardio classes with some of the amazing instructors we have in St. Louis.</p>
<h2>Why do you have the best job in the world?</h2>
<p>Because I enable people to live longer, healthier and more fun lives by being a hub of health and fitness knowledge in my community. We offer complimentary <a href="http://www.lululemon.com/stlouis/stlouis/events?cid=blog">yoga and fitness classes</a> and educate the community on super high performance gear for however they choose to sweat!</p>
<p>No two days are ever the same. I wear stretchy pants to work and get paid to work out and have authentic conversations with people about health, fitness and living a GREAT life. My company is constantly challenging me to create a life of possibility and never settle for mediocrity, providing me with the developmental tools and support to make that happen! And, seriously, our manifesto includes such words of wisdom like "Dance, sing, floss and travel"and has <a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/challenge?cid=blog">monthly challenges</a> that include dancing the running man once a day!</p>
<h2>What piece of advice do you have for future showroom managers?</h2>
<p>Be yourself and have fun. Sounds simple, but you are hired into this incredible company because you are incredible, so just keep doing that thing you do. And, well, if you are not having fun every single day, then you are doing something wrong. Get out there and connect in your community - love, laugh, sweat and breath deeply every day! Honestly, just read the manifesto, it’s all there! <img src='http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h2>What makes your showroom unique?</h2>
<p>Simple - our community makes us unique: from the educators to the guests, to the <a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/ambassadors?cid=blog">ambassadors</a> and <a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/rd_team?cid=blog">R&amp;D team</a>, to our fantastic Central West End neighborhood. There is no showroom like it!</p>
<h2>What's your Big Hairy Audacious Goal!?</h2>
<p>My BHAG is to bring lululemon into Spanish speaking countries, uniting my passion for the Spanish language and culture and sheer enthusiasm and desire to continue to spread the lululemon love… en español!</p>
<p><em>See the <a href="http://tbe.taleo.net/NA1/ats/careers/jobSearch.jsp?org=lulu&amp;cws=1&amp;cid=blog">amazing opportunities</a> at lululemon with the new showrooms opening up!</em></p>

<p>Recently there was “Free Day of Yoga.” In dozens of cities across the globe, participating yoga and pilates studios opened up their spaces by offering free classes to the community. Studio owners and teachers offered this gift to students in the spirit of sharing the love and bliss of yoga, not to mention the health benefits of practicing the sport.</p>
<p><a href="/honolulu">lululemon athletica Ala Moana</a> sponsored Hawaii’s Free Day of Yoga. We wanted people to try different styles, instructors and studios (at no cost) in order to stretch their mind, body, and spirit.</p>
<p>Our community came out to enjoy this special event. Almost all of the classes were packed to capacity. One of the local studio owners, Conrad Gacki of <a href="http://lockyourknee.com/" target="_blank">Bikram Yoga Nimitz</a> had crammed classes from sun up (5.30 a.m. class) to sundown (7 p.m. class).</p>
<p>Gacki was so inspired by the Free Day of Yoga that he has decided to visit all of the studios that were involved in the community event in order to help strengthen the local yoga community. Educators at lululemon Ala Moana have received nothing but positive feedback for helping to organize this event. We even had a 72-year-old guest mention that she attended five free classes on that day! Nothing could make us smile more. The work we do at lululemon is for the community, it is to share the benefits of yoga and fitness with beginners, elite athletes, and everyone in between.</p>
