<em>Engage your abdomen!</em><br />
<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11475" title="ask a yogi" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/blog_banner.jpg" alt="ask a yogi" width="500" height="75" /></p>
<h1>you asked</h1>
<p><em>My lower back tends to get really stiff from sitting, usually incorrectly, at work :0. Any recommendations on poses that I could easily do in my office to loosen the tension in my lower back? - <strong>Marianne</strong></em></p>
<p><em>How do you protect your lower back? In some yoga classes my back is too tight and painful at the end of class to really relax in savasana. In Bikram I don’t really have that problem, maybe because you do a twist right before the final savasana? – <strong>Elaine</strong></em></p>
<h1>a yogi answers</h1>
<p>First thing is to sit super upright on the edge of your seat and pull your chin back. It might seem weird at first, but you want to create the natural spinal curvature. There is an S-curve in your spine and neck, most back issues come from slouching. Don’t slouch and engage your abdomen, at least 15-30% ALL THE TIME!</p>
<p>- <strong><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/ambassadors/TedMcDonald">Ted</a></strong>, lululemon Malibu ambassador</p>
<p>Do you have any favourite final poses to help you relax in savasana?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For all you Americans out there, say hello to our first ever US Distribution Centre Manager, Rebekah. This is a brand new DC and brand new role, so we can expect a lot of growth and exciting change to be bubbling around this new lululemon star.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9806" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Rebekah.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /><br />
<em>Oh hi there, Rebekah!</em></p>
<h2>what are your favourite things to do in your spare time?</h2>
<p>I am just a big nerd <img src='http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
I love reading books and watching documentaries on all sorts of strange topics. The interpretations of historical events from ancient Egypt are fascinating.<br />
I also enjoy playing video games. I love working together with friends to build armies or kill zombies!</p>
<h2>who is your mentor / hero? why?</h2>
<p>Hero: My brother Elijah. He has more passion in life than anyone else I have ever known. He has never let outside influences disrupt his dreams, beliefs or ambitions even when others did not believe in him.</p>
<p>Mentor: My former boss. He always saw greatness in me even when I struggled to see it myself. I owe so much of my initial growth to his time and attention. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn so much from someone who I respect and admire.</p>
<h2>your favourite quote?</h2>
<p>“Life has taught us that love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.”</p>
<p>This quote resonates with me because I believe we can accomplish so much more together then we ever could attempting to imitate one another. Educating each other through advice and experience ensures our efforts toward greatness are not wasted.</p>
<p>I also heard something that I liked over the weekend:<br />
“You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.”<br />
-Alice in Wonderland</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-9808 aligncenter" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Rebekah-4.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="500" /><br />
<em>Rebekah in her snorkling gear</em></p>
<h2>something silly or unique about you?</h2>
<p>I used to dye my hair a different color every week! My best friend and I would try to think up crazy new combinations to test out on my hair. It would definitely be hit and miss! <img src='http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
I also have a parrot Cockatoo named Daisy Mae. She has been with me for 7 years and if all goes well she will be will be with me for 60 more!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-9809 aligncenter" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Rebekah-2.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="500" /><br />
<em>One of her many hair colours</em></p>
<h2>what drew you to lululemon? favourite part of your job so far?</h2>
<p>The people! Everyone I have met at lululemon has had a special energy that feels so good to be around and be a part of. I feel that I learn from everyone I meet, and there is  always something exciting to be a part of and create!</p>
<p>My favorite part of my job has been building up a new team to add to the awesomeness of the lululemon family. I am SO excited to see us get closer to our vision with every new member.</p>
<p><em>Rebekah will definitely be looking to add new awesome people to her already awesome US team! If you live in the Washington area and consider yourself to be quite awesome, check out the opportunities available at the new US DC...</em> <a href="http://www.lululemon.com/about/careers">www.lululemon.com/possibilities</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winds of fantastic change are blowing through Store Development with the hire of our new VP, Wynn. He comes to lululemon with over 25 years of real estate experience, from companies such as Shoppers Drug Mart, Starbucks and Priszm Brands (KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell). We know he is going to do some great things with the team and with our stores!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Wynn.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9854" /><br />
<em>Welcome to the lululemon team Wynn!</em></p>
<h2>what is something unique or surprising about you?</h2>
<p>I completed the market mapping of Amsterdam for Starbucks on bicycle as part of a four month European assignment. I rode around Amsterdam for 5 days straight 10 to 12 hours per day. It was a great experience and a test of endurance.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Wynn-2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9855" /><br />
<em>Biking in Amsterdam</em></p>
<h2>what is one of your biggest passions (outside of store development!)?</h2>
<p>My wife, nieces and nephews and playing hockey. I married my high school grad date so we are like soul mates. She also puts up with my other passion – store development, which trust me requires a lot of understanding.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Wynn-3.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9856" /><br />
<em>Wynn's wife, with their nieces and nephews</em></p>
<h2>favourite place in the world?</h2>
<p>Paris, France. There was so much history and the Louvre museum was awesome.</p>
<h2>a goal you've achieved that you're proud of?</h2>
<p>Completion of my first yoga class -  a Bikram hot yoga class! I survived and am ready for another one. My goal is to now attend at least one hot yoga class per week.</p>
<h2>what do you want to be remembered for?</h2>
<p>Having fun and sharing what I love – development and being part of a great team.</p>
<p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>lululemon just got a bit more colourful when we hired Asmin, the first ever colourist on the production team! In the true spirit of lululemon, Asmin will be creating from nothing and setting the tone for what it means to be a colourist here at lululemon. Say hello...</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9588" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Asmin.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /><br />
<em>Asmin, in her Olympic gear</em></p>
<h2>what is your lululemon story?</h2>
<p>Being not just the one &amp; only, but also the first ever colourist at lululemon is very exciting for me. I have the privilege to take initiative and make things happen. Although there is a lot to do, I really look forward to "colouring up" my lululemon world. It's challenging, but all of the teams are working together and I'm learning and solving problems everyday.</p>
<h2>which line in the lululemon manifesto rings truest for you?</h2>
<p>This is a tough one to answer. I can't decide between "Friends are more important than money" or "Life is full of setbacks. Success is determined by how you handle setbacks." I'm living the first and learning about the latter everyday in my life.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9590" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Asmin3.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p><em>Asmin with friends at Kits Beach</em></p>
<h2>so far in your life what has been the "perfect day"?</h2>
<p>I'd have to go with the day I hiked up to Kbal Spean in Cambodia with my friend and a bunch of local kids we met on the way. We brought free pencils to give to any kids we met on the trip. When I called them and showed them the pencils, they immediately came to us and lined up to recieve the pencils with both hands out. Then they taught us how to count from one to ten in Cambodian language. A day with sunshine, good exercise, great sight-seeing, lots of laughters, good friends, and a little good deed as well!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9591" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Asmin2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<h2>what is something unique or surprising about you?</h2>
<p>I guess it's the combination of many little things (isn't everyone unique because of the many little things in them?)... I'm AB negative, which is not common. I have absolutely straight hair, which many people envy, but sometimes I want it to be curly! And... I'm super organized. People keep telling me that I'm so organized that it surprises (sometimes scares?) them.<br />
Other than that, I've been a part-time tour guide in Taiwan. I did it because Taiwan is such a beautiful island and I wanted to visit different places. Also, I worked for the 2010 Olympics at the Main Media Centre. Simple and small tasks, but I put on the "Game Face" everyday!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9592" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Asmin4.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may have seen Jennifer running past you with the Olympic torch, but you probably didn't know that she was one of the newest, freshest faces on the lululemon IT team! Although she hasn't been here long, Jennifer is already inspiring us with her commitment to yoga for youth and her exceptional IT skills.</p>
<p>Jen is new to Vancouver, so let's do everything we can to make her feel at home here!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9394" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Jen-31.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Jen-3.jpg"></a><em>Jen kisses her new skates for Rollerderby.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Jen.jpg"><br />
</a></p>
<h2>what are your favourite things to do in your free time?</h2>
<p>In my free time I love to practice yoga, rollerskate (I play rollerderby) and explore Vancouver since I'm new to town! I'm also actively working on setting up a foundation that teaches yoga to youths, and young women in particular. I believe that yoga can foster self awareness and self confidence which is important during their formative years.</p>
<h2>what is the biggest goal you achieved in 2009?</h2>
<p>2009 was really a foundation-setting year for me. It is too easy to get into a "rut", and after taking a hard look at my life and considering my goals, I decided to take some risks and go after my dreams. I sold my house, began a yoga teacher training program and was lucky enough to secure a spot in the Olympic Torch Relay.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9395" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Jen1.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="500" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Jen.jpg"></a><em>Jen with the Olympic torch.</em></p>
<h2>who has had the most influence in your life? why?</h2>
<p>Family and friends have played key roles in my life, and in particular my mom and dad have been very important. They have always stressed the importance of living unselfishly and honestly, and encouraged exploring creative solutions to any issues I've faced.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9396" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Jen-21.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>

<h2>what super-power would you most like to have, and why?</h2>
<p>I would love to be able to fly. Aside from the thrill of gliding through air, flight would make travel quick, and I could explore new places and visit distant friends on a whim.</p>
<h2>what drew you to lululemon? favourite part of your job so far?</h2>
<p>lululemon's people and culture drew me to their website, and to a posting for the IT QA team which matched my skills and interests. The people here have made me feel welcome and my manager has encouraged me to acquire the knowledge I need to do my job as I see fit, which is really empowering. I've really enjoyed learning about all of the processes and departments within the company that work together to ensure top quality products and an amazing experience for all our guests. I feel lucky coming to work everyday, and I'm proud to be a part of a company with as much integrity as lululemon!</p>
<p><em>We need more rockstars (or Rollerderby stars) like Jen on our quickly growing IT team. Spread the word. <a href="http://www.lululemon.com/about/careers" target="_blank">www.lululemon.com/careers</a></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Behind the success of a great company with happy and healthy employees, you can expect to find an equally great Benefits Manager. This is the person who tends to the needs of the employees and looks out for their long-term health and happiness.</p>
<p>Luckily for us at lululemon, we've just welcomed Gerardo into the Benefits Manager role... he's definitely got his heart in the right place, and he has the mind to make great things happen. Say hi to Gerardo!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9225" style="border: 0pt none;" title="gerardo with his lovely family" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Gerardo-e1270544735655.jpg" alt="gerardo's wife is wearing a scuba hoodie from lululemon" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p><em>Gerardo, with his family.</em></p>
<h2>what are you most passionate about?</h2>
<p>I have a great family that I love with all my heart. My wife is a fitness trainer (who loves lululemon clothes) and we have two boys. They're very active and have allowed me to see the world with new eyes. My five-year-old is fascinated with the night sky. He constantly asks questions about the stars, planets and the Milky Way. My eight-year-old loves science and riding his bike anywhere he can (particularly to the local convenience store). He's taking Tae Kwon Do and is pursuing his goal of becoming a black belt.</p>
<h2>what's your favourite way to sweat?</h2>
<p>Cardio and some weight training three to four times a week has kept me in shape. I love sweating using the treadmill at the gym. I also do 30-minute power walks at least twice a week.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9226" title="father and son" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Gerardo3-e1270544910458.jpg" alt="lululemon staff member gerardo" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p><em>Playing in the snow.</em></p>
<h2>biggest goal you want to accomplish in 2010?</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/education/goalsetting">Career goal</a>: Review our current benefits offering and propose those changes that will have the most impact to employee health and wellness.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/education/goalsetting">Health goal</a>: Learn to inline skate and then go skate along Stanley Park’s seawall at least two times this year.</p>
<h2>what would an ideal gerardo day look like?</h2>
<p>A day spent with people you love doing something you don’t do every day, like go swimming in the lake or ocean. Go hiking or camping somewhere really peaceful. That would be the perfect day.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9227" title="in front of the olympic torch" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FFF-Gerardo1-e1270545003284.jpg" alt="vancouver 2010 olympics - lululemon" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p><em>Gerardo and his kids, in front of the Olympic torch!</em></p>
<h2>what is the best thing about your role at lululemon? most challenging?</h2>
<p>The most challenging is to define a benefits philosophy/guiding principles that will be acceptable by all stake holders. This is the first step towards having a consistent benefits strategy.</p>
<p>The best thing is that I get to work with great, optimistic people with many goals and full of good ideas. I really enjoy talking to our educators and asking them what they think about our benefits offering, and getting suggestions that may help improve what we are doing in this area.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week we're switching things up and talking about the NEXT fresh face we'd love to see on this blog, which will be our newest Design Director!</p>
<p><em><a href="http://tbe.taleo.net/NA1/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=LULU&amp;cws=1&amp;rid=2367" target="_blank">Could it be you?</a></em></p>
<p>Our current Design Director, Jill, has grown up with lululemon and has a pretty inspirational story. Check it out.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/500jill.jpg" alt="jill, design director at lululemon" title="jill, design director at lululemon" width="500" height="333" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-9089" /></p>
<p><em>Jill, looking out over Hong Kong.</em></p>
<h2>what's your lululemon story?</h2>
<p>I started working in our Toronto Queen Street West Store while I was going to school in 2003. I finished school the following year and moved to Vancouver to work on the design team.</p>
<p>I would always make sure I talked to Chip or Deanne whenever they were in Toronto and just let them know that I really wanted to work on the Design team and that it was in my goals. In fact, it was in my goals to be the Director of Design within 10 years, and lo and behold I achieved this goal through hard work but in 5 years time!</p>
<p>Now I am living my dream job and loving it, and it's time to live the rest of my dream life too! I will be having my first child with my husband in September!</p>
<p>Next on the list? A marathon next year! (Great way to lose the baby weight!)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8725" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/FFF-Jill2-e1269946585943.jpg" alt="" width="332" height="500" /></p>
<p><em>Taking part in a photo shoot!</em></p>
<h2>what has been the best part about being the design director? most challenging?</h2>
<p>The best part is working with creative, passionate people everyday in an open and supportive environment. Most challenging? Hmmm... it has been such a great learning curve, I would have to say the most challenging thing has been deciding to be great in my personal life too, and leave this job that I love so much (if only for a short while).</p>
<h2>biggest goal you've accomplished while at lululemon?</h2>
<p>I have a few I would love to share:</p>
<ul>
<li>I got married</li>
<li>I achieved the role of Design Director</li>
<li>I ran my first half marathon</li>
<li>I conceived my first child</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Jill-1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-8727 alignnone" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Jill-1-e1269947428584.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Jill-1.jpg"></a><em>Jill and her husband</em></p>
<h2>what's your BHAG (big hairy audacious goal) for the lululemon design team?</h2>
<p>To be the happiest, most productive design team in the world. lululemon will be known as having the best athletic apparel designers in the business.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/FFF-Jill4.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8728" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/FFF-Jill4.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p><em>Jill leading her fellow design team members to the finish line at Chip's Not Dead Yet!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever called the Guest Education Centre with a crazy question? If yes, you know that you are greeted with an incredibly knowledgeable, fun and experienced educator who knows the difference between <a href="http://shop.lululemon.com/store/productslist.aspx?parentcolorid=167&amp;categoryid=6&amp;sbcf=women&amp;icid=blogfff">Senorita Pink</a> and <a href="http://shop.lululemon.com/store/productslist.aspx?parentcolorid=49&amp;categoryid=6&amp;sbcf=women&amp;icid=blog">Fruity Tootie</a> and can bring the store experience to you on the phone. It's time to meet the freshest faces to join the team!</p>
<p>This fantastic group of people support our guests, stores, ecommerce team, and online communities. It's also a bit of an insider secret that the GEC is an awesome launching pad into other roles in the company-- just ask our Public Relations Coordinator, Lindsay, or our Online Community Manager, <a href="http://twitter.com/carolyncoles" target="_blank">Carolyn</a>!</p>
<p>Right now the GEC is growing. Meet Robin and Jennifer, the newest GECers:</p>
<h1>meet robin</h1>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8384" title="robin from the GEC on the deck" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/robin500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /><br />
<em>Robin, living the West Coast dream!</em></p>
<h2>what is your most memorable childhood experience?</h2>
<p>Family vacations. Almost every year on Christmas break or summer vacation we would pile into the family car and drive from Ontario to Nova Scotia and spend two weeks there. They were never big or fancy but definitely something I’ve always treasured.</p>
<h2>why did you join lululemon?</h2>
<p>About 10 months ago I decided to move out to BC to pursue a career goal in firefighting. I began my search for a flexible job that would help me reach my goals. lululemon stood out and I’ve been with the company a month and a half now. It's not only congruent with my life style but my values, too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-8213   aligncenter" style="border-width: 0px;" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/FFF-Robin-e1269281908834.jpg" alt="robin training to be a fire fighter" width="387" height="500" /><br />
<em>Robin, when he's not at the GEC!</em></p>
<h2>what's your favourite way to sweat?</h2>
<p>Pumping iron! No better feeling than putting those numbers up and reaching your goals.</p>
<h2>who/what inspires you?</h2>
<p>My family inspires me. I’ve been blessed to have some really amazing teachers and role models. Other things that have had a great impact on my life are: arts, culture, traveling, and the amazing people I’ve met along the way.</p>
<h2>what’s your BHAG (big, hairy,audacious goal)?</h2>
<p>Although its sort of an 'on the spot BHAG' I can honestly say that owning my own fitness centre/health store is something I would thoroughly enjoy.</p>
<h1>meet jennifer</h1>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-8211  aligncenter" style="border: 0px;" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/FFF-jasmine-e1269281427297.jpg" alt="jennifer from the GEC dancing" width="333" height="500" /><br />
<em>One of Jennifer's biggest passions is dancing. Here she is on stage performing.</em></p>
<h2>what has been the biggest surprise working for lululemon?</h2>
<p>How much everyone here cares about each other personally as well as professionally. This really goes to show how support from peers speeds up progress, as everyone here is striving for and achieving goals every single day. It amazes me just how much positivity is in this one room as a result of the ongoing support and encouragement from others.</p>
<h2>what is your guilty pleasure?</h2>
<p>Chocolate. I have a stash in my desk at all times.</p>
<h2>what are you passionate about?</h2>
<p>I have a passion for life, but if I had to be specific, my passion lies in dance. I have wild dreams about performing in huge venues, and I can talk about dance for hours on end. It’s my way of expressing myself and inspiring others to live their dreams as well.</p>
<h2>what drives you crazy?</h2>
<p>Fruit salad/mixed fruit cups—I have a distaste for oranges in my fruit salad/mixed fruit cups. The citrus flavor contaminates everything and you can’t enjoy your other fruits!</p>
<h2>what quote/piece of advice has had the biggest impact on you?</h2>
<p>"When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” There’s a positive and a creative way to look at all situations. Things are never as bad as they seem at first.</p>
<p><em>More exciting opportunities for fresh educator faces are popping up at the GEC! Visit </em><a href="http://tbe.taleo.net/NA1/ats/careers/searchResults.jsp?org=LULU&amp;cws=1&amp;icid=blogfff"><em>http://tbe.taleo.net/NA1/ats/careers</em></a><em> to find out more.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">All our Canadian east coasters should keep an eye out for our first ever Human Resource Partner based out of Toronto, Jocelyn! With 17 stores in Ontario alone, we figured it was essential to have some awesome HR talent on the ground.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/FFFJocelyn2.bmp"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7870" style="border: 0px;" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/FFFJocelyn2.bmp" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><br />
<em>Jocelyn's nephew welcoming her in Toronto.</em></p>
<h2>what are the biggest surprises since joining the team?</h2>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> The culture lives throughout the company. I knew that lululemon’s culture was strong, but it has been so amazing working with such an open and supportive team throughout my on-boarding.</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/joc12.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-8024 alignnone" style="border-width: 0px;" title="jocelyn" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/joc12.jpg" alt="" width="306" height="451" /></a><br />
<em>Jocelyn's smiling face!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/FFFJocelyn3.jpg"></a></p>
<h2>during the olympics, what was your favourite experience?</h2>
<p>The first was watching Alex Bilodeau win the first Olympic Gold medal. Every Canadian was proud to have our first gold medal winner be someone who was so deserving. Secondly, I landed in Vancouver the night Canada won the gold medal men’s hockey game. The city was alive and everyone was celebrating the end of an amazing Olympic 2 weeks. It was amazing to be in Vancouver for that last night.</p>
<h2>what is  a recent goal you've accomplished?</h2>
<p>I recently purchased my home here in Toronto. I made it a goal to find a loft  that I loved as much as the one I had in Vancouver and  not settle until  I find the right one. A year after moving to Toronto, I found my place!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/joc2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8027" style="border: 0px;" title="jocelyn and family" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/joc2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="452" /></a><br />
<em>Jocelyn, with her sisters and nephew in Toronto!</em></p>
<h2>what inspires you?</h2>
<p>One of my favourite quotes has always been, "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.” These words are powerful. It’s easy to get comfortable or to give in to our fears. I read this quote and it gives me that extra push to take the first step to try something new and encourages me during difficult time.</p>
<p>Also, so many members of the lululemon team I have met are incredibly inspiring. I have already met people who have quit their jobs to go on trips they never dreamed they could do, who have ran marathons as though it was as easy as a walk around the block. It's inspiring to see people that come to work each day and recognize the possibility in their team and support eac other  to accomplish goals. </p>
<p><em>For all you other HR buffs out there who sigh with relief when you step on your yoga mat or tie up your runners, our HR team is growing fast and there are opportunities in Vancouver and the US right now. You can check out the roles on the </em><a href="http://tbe.taleo.net/NA1/ats/careers/jobSearch.jsp?org=lulu&amp;cws=1&#038;icid=blogfff" target="_blank"><em>careers website. </em></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As our newest Information Centre Analyst, it goes without saying that Russell is full of technical wizardry and know-how. But it’s his love of heart-pumping athletic challenges, animals, and gadgets that truly make Russell tick.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/WCT_11.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6475" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Ready for exploration!" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/WCT_11.jpg" alt="west coast trail, hiking" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Ready for exploration!</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;">what is your proudest achievement?</span><br />
I focus on setting goals for my life that challenge me, and then striving to achieve them. One that stands out is hiking BC’s West Coast Trail (78 km), which my team and I completed in 4.5 days. The technical challenges the elements and the terrain posed, and the constant rain (in the rain forest -who would have thought?) motivated us to complete the trail in great time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/WhiteWaterRafting1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6476" style="border: 0pt none;" title="where's russell?" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/WhiteWaterRafting1.jpg" alt="white water rafting, sweat once a day" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Can you spot Russell?</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;">what are some of your favourite ways to sweat?</span><br />
Anything that gets my heart pumping and challenges me! This could include water rafting, snowboarding,  or Muay Thai. This year I am also aiming to hike Mt. St Helens in June.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;">tell us something unexpected about you...</span><br />
Animals have always been a joyous (and sometimes batty) part of my life, and that includes finding fur balls in the strangest places or glasses being knocked from the coffee table by rampant wagging tails. Spending time with my cat is the calming balance to the physical activities that challenge me.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/HikingInTheRockies.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6484" style="border: 0pt none;" title="not shown in this photo: russell's cat!" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/HikingInTheRockies.jpg" alt="hiking in the rocky mountains" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Not shown in this photo: Russell's cat!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;">what would you do with 1 million dollars?</span><br />
Take a trip to the snowboarding hotspots of the world! I’d start down at Chile in the heart of the Andes, and follow with a flight to Europe to board in Switzerland and Austria. Then I’d invest the rest of the money into my own learning, to continue my personal and professional growth.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;">what excites you the most about working at lululemon?</span><br />
The way lululemon has fused their culture and business model together attracted me to become a part of the lululemon community; lululemon doesn’t just sell a product, but a more positive way of life. I’m excited to contribute to lululemon’s unique customer experience as a part of the IT team.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever thought about working at a lululemon store? Great news - we're hiring! Every holiday season we hire seasonal educators to join our team. What you may not know is that after the holidays are over, many seasonal positions turn into permanent part-time or full-time positions. It's like the gift that keeps on giving!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3544" title="lululemon loves to jump" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/jump333.jpg" alt="lululemon loves to jump" width="500" height="333" /><br />
<em>A team that jumps together, stays together!</em></p>
<p>Here's what to expect from the seasonal hiring process:</p>
<h1>your local lululemon puts the word out on the street</h1>
<p>To find if your lululemon is hiring for the holidays, you can:</p>
<p>- check their <a href="http://www.lululemon.com/stores">store web page</a><br />
- search our <a href="http://tbe.taleo.net/NA1/ats/careers/jobSearch.jsp?org=lulu&amp;cws=1">careers section</a><br />
- check their Facebook page. Here's a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/search/?init=srp&amp;sfxp=&amp;q=lululemon&amp;o=65&amp;c1=168">list of our stores on Facebook</a><br />
- ask someone you know who works there already<br />
- drop in to the store to chat in person! (This way your future team can put a face to a name, too.)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3526" title="kingstonfair" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/kingstonfair.jpg" alt="kingstonfair" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><em>Each store's hiring process is slightly different. This year <a href="/kingston/princessstreet">lululemon Kingston</a> is holding a loveyourjob fair for seasonal hiring - <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=118581&amp;id=75425208667" target="_blank">find the details here</a>.</em></p>
<h1>the group interview</h1>
<p>The group interview is meant to be an opportunity to learn more about what it might be like to work at the store, meet the people you'll be working closely with, and share more about yourself. Wear comfortable clothes, be yourself, and be prepared for impromptu downward dogs!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3517" title="lululemon staff meeting" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/4035795194_b8b7eee8b8.jpg" alt="lululemon staff meeting" width="500" height="334" /><br />
<em>Staff meeting at our new <a href="/palmbeachgardens/thegardens">Palm Beach Gardens</a>, Florida location - opening Oct. 30!</em></p>
<h1>the one-on-one</h1>
<p>Stores want their seasonal hires to potentially turn into members of their team. After the group interview, managers send out invitations for one-on-one meetings. This is another chance to shine and ask any other questions you may have. Got goals? Hope so! Be prepared to answer what your 1, 5, and 10-year plans are. Need help? Check out <a href="http://goals.lululemon.com">goaltender!</a></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3523" title="lululemon goal wall" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/3876577832_e13f0e518c_o.jpg" alt="lululemon goal wall" width="500" height="316" /><br />
<em>lululemon <a href="/lajolla/lajolla">La Jolla</a>'s staff wall of goals. View their educator job postings <a href="http://tbe.taleo.net/NA1/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=LULU&amp;cws=1&amp;rid=1119">here</a>.</em></p>
<h1>frequently asked questions</h1>
<h2>What should I wear?</h2>
<p>Dress comfortably. Be yourself. Elissa says "<a href="/community/blog/true-colours-my-lululemon-story/">don't wear heels.</a>"</p>
<h2>How do I prepare for the group interview?</h2>
<p>Ask yourself what you like about lululemon and why you're interested in joining the team.  Other than that, expect the unexpected - anything can happen!</p>
<h2>How do I prepare for the one-on-one interview?</h2>
<p>This is the more "regular" interview: questions, availability, goals, etc.  Remember that "Preparing for Interviews" lecture from your guidance counselor in high school? It's like that.</p>
<h2>Do I need to be a product expert?</h2>
<p>It helps, but your biggest asset is a keen, teachable spirit. The team shares a pool of knowledge, and you can tap into that pool once you jump into the deep end.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3516" title="3346806619_1bcb449f40" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/3346806619_1bcb449f40.jpg" alt="3346806619_1bcb449f40" width="500" height="375" /><br />
<em>Guerilla yoga could be part of your job! Pictured above: <a href="/calgary/4thstreet">lululemon 4th St.</a> braving the Calgary cold.</em></p>
<p>Being part of the seasonal team gives you the chance to see if you're a good fit with lululemon, participate in community yoga classes and events, and learn more about the culture. Oh, and make some extra spending money over the holidays. If you've ever thought about what it might be like to work at a lululemon, now is a great time to find out.</p>
<p>Get out there! We're waiting for you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2950" title="tanya, product developer" src="http://lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/tanya.jpg" alt="tanya, product developer" width="500" height="333" /></em></p>
<p><em>Meet Tanya, our sister company ivivva athletica's product developer. Read below to get a sneak peek into a day in her life!</em></p>
<p><strong>7 am -</strong> I’m busing to the office, with A New Earth in my lap. lululemon’s book club, Bibliophilia, is focusing on chapter 3 this week: The Core of Ego. Reading on my commute is a great opportunity to get some perspective before the momentum of the day takes hold.</p>
<p><strong>8 am</strong> - I open my inbox to a flood of emails. Our off-shore factory partners have responded to the requests for samples and questions about garment construction that I sent the night before. We are on a tight schedule, so it’s important that my correspondence is as clear and thorough as possible.</p>
<p><strong>9:30 am - </strong>It’s time to prepare sample packages to send to our vendors. Based on comments made at the yesterday’s fitting, I update the technical sketches and bill of materials for each style. I am working against a deadline, as the parcels need to be at reception before FedEx arrives!</p>
<p><strong>12:30 pm -</strong> I head down to the Store Support Centre’s yoga studio for an energizing Vinyasa class. A yoga break keeps me sharp and motivated for the rest of the day!</p>
<p><strong>1:30 pm</strong> - I grab my lunch and meet with ivivva athletica’s designer, Jennie Lam, to fit samples on a mannequin. Today’s agenda includes approving pre-production samples for Winter 2009 and marking new design lines on styles for Summer 2010. Yesterday we fit size runs, my favourite type of fitting! When a style is close to being finalized, we will order a prototype in every size we plan to carry. Fit models, sized 6-12, will visit the office to test each style’s fit, function and comfort level. It is amazing to meet the end users of our products (and their parents!). We get great feedback from these sessions that influences future decisions and helps to elevate the line.</p>
<p><strong>2:30 pm</strong> - The remainder of the day is dedicated to colourways. Each season, it is the product developer’s responsibility to record every colourway a style is offered in, as well as the colours of every fabric and trim in each of those versions. With over 70 styles planned, it is a meticulous job, but I love how strategic I need to be to ensure accuracy and efficiency.</p>
<p><strong>5:00 pm -</strong> It’s a brisk, sunny day, so I slip on my running shoes and jog the 10km home. It’s the perfect time to set goals for the day ahead and to revel in the beauty of our city!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2934" title="lululemon on robson street" src="http://lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/elissastorefront.jpg" alt="lululemon on robson street" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>I never applied to work for lululemon. In fact, I was actually going to a job interview at a local restaurant, dressed to impress, when I stopped into my neighborhood store and my world turned on its axis. I had just achieved a big life goal: “I leave the security of suburbia and move into the big bad city before my twentieth birthday.” (Attention please: my goal is SMART. Not sure what I’m talking about? Check out <a href="http://goals.lululemon.com" target="_blank">GOALTENDER</a>.) My favorite groove pants apparently did not share my vision of moving into Vancouver’s West End and they got lost in transition. I decided to replace them on the way to my interview. The <a href="/vancouver/robson">Robson location</a> was busy as usual, and I casually wandered through the bustling sea of tourists and locals.</p>
<p>Ananda was waiting for me at the pant wall and we became instant friends – she was incredibly helpful and had an infectious personality. I told her that I wished that I could come to work in flip-flops and comfy pants, not the impending pencil skirts and heels.</p>
<p>“You can!” she exclaimed, as she took my hand and boldly escorted me to the front of the store to meet the manager. Hilarious. Only at lululemon. We had an on-the-spot interview, and I was invited to attend a group interview that week.</p>
<p>Fast-forward to the big day:<br />
I was well-versed in my interview responses.<br />
I picked out a nice outfit – and hooray! no heels included.<br />
I planned my bus route and made sure that I had enough time to arrive EARLY.</p>
<p>To my dismay, the good people running the buses that fateful day were behind the eight ball. This, combined with my total lack of knowledge for the city’s streets, successfully made me twenty minutes late for my interview. It was the grossest feeling. I felt like I lost before I even got my chance.The whole interview was a fantastic blur of ingenuity - nothing like I had ever experienced - but I don’t really remember anything except the gut-rot I felt for being late. When it was over, I think I apologized five times to the girls hosting the interview.</p>
<p>“Life is full of setbacks. Success is determined by how you handle setbacks.” The thing about being put in a challenging situation is that it brings out your true colors. I didn’t feel like a confident Chili red; instead I was more like a sedated Sand, but they liked what they saw, and I got the job! My journey has had some interesting ups and downs in the five years I have been with the company, which I look forward to sharing with you. I continue to challenge myself, and continue to realize some really amazing goals along the way. (This includes meeting the man of my dreams - stay tuned for that one.)</p>

<p>If you are considering an opportunity with us – GO FOR IT! If you want to pick my brain and hear more about my time with lululemon, EMAIL me (Attn: Elissa at gec@lululemon.com). I’m happy to be your personal cheerleader. My first advice nugget to all you ladies and gentlemen out there getting ready for an interview? Don’t wear heels.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Meet Melissa! She manages to mix work and play daily at her job in Store Development. She's regularly spotted breaking a sw</em><em>eat in a circuit training class, in between calls on her Blackberry (she's attached at the hip to that thing!). Melissa is a do-er, and though I haven't worked directly with her (yet!) she is known around the lululemon parts as someone who gets stuff done!</em></p>
<h1>What do you do at lululemon?</h1>
<p>I’m a Project Coordinator ... "What does that mean?" is usually the next question I get. Basically I manage the process of construction related projects. I do this for showrooms, minor works (adding slat walls, adding lighting, replacing floors etc), sweeps program, and open re-models (a renovation done on a store while it remains open).</p>
<h1>What is a typical Monday like?</h1>
<p>Oh Mondays... bike to work, Store Dev construction call where we discuss the progress of each new store we are working on, lots of email catch up, circuit training, get down to business. I like to leave Mondays somewhat free from meetings because there is lots of catch up from the weekend. You have to play the coast game, send out a bunch of emails Friday afternoon and by the time you get in Monday morning all your east coast people have gotten back to you, very helpful.</p>
<h1>What are your quotes to live by?</h1>
<p>Live simply, speak kindly, love generously, care deeply.</p>
<h1>How do you sweat once a day?</h1>
<p>Bike, circuit training and now the Grouse Grind. I like to mix it up or I get bored.</p>
<h1>What is your 10 year goal?</h1>
<p>Hmmm…. Blissfully married to the man of my dreams, living in Vancouver by the beach, working part time, traveling the rest.</p>
