I’ve been getting lots of questions from friends lately about the best place to do yoga or CrossFit because they see how active I am in my community. The thing only is…they live in completely different cities and states! My biggest advice to everyone is to check out your local lululemon athletica. Seriously, they are the experts on the best classes and instructors in their communities.
I recently put it to use via Facebook and I’ll tell you how. Lee and I signed up for the LA Marathon last year before we knew I was pregnant. Instead of running, I am going to support him and breathe in the beautiful ocean air of Santa Monica. I had originally planned on running the 5k with our friend Courtney who is coming with us, but then I ran the Cowtown 5k and decided I’d rather do yoga or Pilates. (I finally realized that I will run again after the baby so I should stop trying to force myself to run now). Since I wasn’t into yoga or Pilates when I lived in Cali, I needed to know where to go. Luckily, I knew there was a lululemon showroom close to our hotel and the manager, Heather, is an absolute doll! I went to their Facebook page to see what studios were posting to her wall and the general feedback of the favorite studios.
From my research, I found 2 studios that we will most definitely check out (Urban Lily Yoga and Lotus Kitty Yoga). You can literally do this with any location that has a lululemon nearby. It’s even better if you go into the showroom or store because they all have a community section where you can pick up flyers and info on all things fitness per their location. Educators at each store are more than willing to give you their personal experience and suggest what you might like based on their conversation with you. Each lululemon also offers a complimentary class once a week for you to try out different studios and fitness rock stars.
Looking forward to visiting California, saying hi to my lululemon peeps in Sherman Oaks and cheering on Lee and Jayme (University Park Village lululemon ambassadors) as they run the LA Marathon!
