I have shopped for yoga clothes, and worn yoga clothes while doing yoga, but until this morning I had never done a yoga class in a clothing store. As soon as I heard that Lulu Lemon Athletica offers free yoga classes on Sundays in their store I knew I had to try it out.
Last night I made sure to Google the address and write down the directions, since my Australian guide (aka my GPS) has not been very reliable lately. This morning I left on time, followed my directions, and arrived at the address with 10 minutes to spare. The only problem was that there was no Lulu Lemon in sight. I drove up and down the street searching for the infamous Lulu Lemon symbol. Eventually I called a friend I was meeting at the class and she informed me that I was at the store’s old location. I felt betrayed by Google Maps and quickly typed in the new address at Around Lenox Road, hoping that my Aussie was not hurt by my recent transgression from his services.
Thankfully I got to the store without a problem. As I ran up to the store I felt like I was in slow motion, somewhat reminiscent of the Baywatch lifeguards (and I am talking about Pamela Anderson, not the Hoff). My heart dropped when the door did not budge and I realized it was locked. One of the store clerks opened it and I prepared myself to be turned away; however, in true yoga spirit she let me join the class. I think I ran into about 5 people trying to get to an open spot for my mat. I was embarrassed that I had interrupted the class, but I still managed to have a great class. My only complaint was that I was a bit distracted by all of the cute clothes and kept thinking “Do they have that in my size.” Next Sunday I will definitely leave early, not just to arrive on time but so I can do some browsing before class instead of during it!
