Amongst my many Cool Racerbacks and Flow Y Bras lives the Power Y Tank, which I've layered under today's outfit.

why i love the power y tank

  • it's a favourite of mine for layering
  • the built-in bra means one less item to put on
  • the longer torso design not only offers warmth but gives a flash of colour if I layer it under a shorter shirt
  • great support for A-B cups for running, yoga and everything in between


Have your photo taken while you cycle and you too will have this much fun.


Featherweight Socks!

Love the look but have a larger bust and need more support? Try the Push Your Limits Tank or Inner Awareness Tank.

Introduced over a year ago, this pant has a slim, straight leg with a v-shaped waistline. Even with the "V" shape, it sits high on the hips and still has great coverage in Downward Dog.

Yoga pairing of the day: Astro Pant and Power Y Tank

The "wrap" design of the waistband moulds to your shape and doesn't cut into the belly

Have you tried the Astro Pant or worked it into your off the mat outfits?

I must have been a sight for sore eyes in the pristine streets of North Beverly, dirty and visibly worn. I stepped in the luscious Beverly Hills store, and I remember stepping into a dream. Colours were so bright and beautiful; you could almost smell the scent of their vibrance. Despite my appearance, Janine, the manager of the Beverly Hills store at the time, took me under her wing and introduced me to the roots of lululemon; a Power Y Tank, Groove Pants, and a Remix Lulu Hoodie. Now allow me to explain how these roots have grown into love for me, and thousands of our guests.

love at first luon

power y & groove pants

As I strolled through lululemon for the first time, I -- like many of our guests do -- caught my eye on the pant wall, and headed straight for it. From crops to full-length pants, you will find a variety of fits and functions of all of our different styles. Right in the middle of the wall, you will find our classic Groove Pants, the perfect multi-sport, multi-purpose pants that are flattering on an array of figures. Stepping into Groove Pants you find love at first feel with our signature fabric, luon®. luon is a blend of lycra and nylon, has four-way stretch, and is moisture wicking. Standing in my first pair of Grooves my legs and bum felt supported, the firm yet comfortable waistband tucked my core in, I felt confident, and my body suddenly wanted to dance.

Dance I did, all the way into a matching a Power Y tank, and that was the end of my baggy workout gear career. The Power Y tank is also made of our signature luon fabric. It is form fitting, with medium support and perfect for yoga. You can comfortably move in an out of different poses without spilling out or having to tug your top every which way to keep you covered.

I found myself being able to stretch deeper into yoga poses, and all the while felt much better about my body being supported and not fussing with pulling my shirt down and my shorts up. Coming from a world of baggy cottons and pure polyester uniforms, finding Groove Pants and the Power Y tank felt life changing.

remix lulu hoodie: the icing on the cake

the perfect combo

To top off the dream of a workout outfit, we introduce our guests to the delight of a Remix Lulu Hoodie. The Remix is made of warm, thick preshrunk cotton fleece, and is literally the most comfortable hoodie you will ever wear. It is form fitting, will hug your curves and yet has the feel of your old baggy university sweatshirt. The Remix is like the icing on the cake of your Power Y Tank and Groove Pants, and will take you to and from yoga, and throughout all the errands of your day.

sharing our roots

look of amazement

Today one of my favourite moments in working for lululemon is when I introduce guests to the combination of Groove Pants, a Power Y tank, and a Remix Hoodie. Every time I introduce our roots to someone new, I get to see the same look in their eyes that I had in mine 4 years ago. It’s a look of amazement and appreciation. The same look occurs when our guests learn that we have two different lengths in our pants as well as complimentary hemming. A Regular length for petite to normal heights with a 31” inseam, and a Tall length for above average and taller women with a 35” inseam. I have helped women from 4'0" to a wonderful 6'2" tall woman who hugged me having found a pair of pants that fit her correctly.

namaste

It is these moments that make us extremely happy and proud as a company to share our roots with our guests. There is truly no better moment in our fit rooms than introducing our guests to our roots of function, comfort and femininity in the combination of Groove Pants, a Power Y Tank, and a Remix Hoodie. It's these moments that keep me smiling in my job everyday, and thankful that I walked in to the Beverly Hills store four years ago and found more than lululemon's roots, but my own passion. Namaste.
