Yoga Madre

Hey Team!! Mike, Freda and I went to yoga madre this morning and mike did a GREAT backbend. I didn't think the class was that hard, but now I'm feeling it all in my legs and my arms. Rene is a great teacher..

Much Love!

Thankkkk youuuuuu!

So - to say that I was excited when I got hired on as a seasonal educator with lulu is the understatement of the year. I was pumped for my in-store experience, getting to know other lulu's and the customers, and being in one of my favorite cities. What I didn't realize was how AWESOME my first "lulu-inspired" class experience would be.

I took Beginning Yoga at Yoga House with the lovely ambassador Carolyn Sachs on Monday night. I needed a TOTAL refresher yoga class and this was great. I had forgotten how wonderful it felt to be pushing myself and breathing through the pose. The hour and half flew by so fast. We did partner poses and I had never done those in my life. I actually did down dog with my partner doing down dog with her feet on my lower back – and then I returned the favor!

I totally understand why Carolyn is one of our ambassadors. I introduced myself to her and she met me (and every other member of the class) with such warmth and openness. (And can I just say that I was so proud to be able to say "I work at lululemon"!!!!!!!) She was rocking her groove pants and Vinaysa tank! She was all about doing what felt right in a pose and provided us with a variety of different ways to do each pose. I was completely exhausted before the class and felt like a whole new person after! I’ll be taking the class again this coming Monday – come join me!!!

Next adventure: CATZ

I wanted to put a big fat THANKKKKKKK YOUUUUU out there in the universe for this awesome experience. I am having so much fun at lulu and spend my week excited for my next shift. See y’all tomorrow!!!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS PASADENA LULULEMON

And a big welcome to all of our new Lulus! It's great seeing all these new faces around the store. So much energy and excitement! I just can't believe it is the middle of December already! So much happening so fast! I hope we all take time to live in the moment as much as possible.



There is a great website, that Jules shared with me, and I have since signed up to receive daily motivational quotes. I thought I would share it with you. If you are anything like me, this time of year is full of many things, to name just a few: Love, appreciation for loved ones still here, Deep sorrow over loved ones no longer here, stress, depression or anxiety over another year coming to an end and maybe unfulfilled dreams or goals, Excitement for a new beginning, Family, friends, money (or the lack of), Joy, Spiritual renewal, Shopping, Baking, parties, and oh did I already mention STRESS? These are just a few of a long list I'm sure we all could add to. The important thing to remember in all of this, is that each moment is an opportunity to leave something of yourself behind. Maybe it's a kind word to a stranger, or a smile to the stressed out mom in front of you in line. Let's all just really focus on being present in the moment.



Yesterday's gone, Tomorrow's not here yet, Today is a gift, that's why it's called the PRESENT! Give yourself the gift of being present this Holiday season, and spread Love and Good Cheer to those you come in contact with. It's like a boomarang, and always comes back to you!

Hi Hi

I like this site. Very cool. I have an idea for a design for the underwear. Who can I contact to let them know my thoughts?

Yay!! I'm on the blog!

Oh my gosh my peeps. I'm on the blog now. Yeah, yeah, yeah!! I am going to blog my brains out from now on. So, what's everyone reading these days? I'm still reading 7 Habits and I absolutely love it. I am really learning about how action is derived from your values and ethics. This is wonderful because it brings to the light the nature of proactivity and being aware of your internal locus of control vs. feeling as though everything is controlled externally. HUGE difference!

Okay! Just a short note today. More later....

CATZ!

Well I finally went to CATZ, and now I'm kicking myself for not having gone sooner!

Last week I went on both Tuesday and Thursday to Mike's classes. About 10 minutes after the Tuesday class I was already sore. The next day I could barely move. Anyone who worked with me can attest to the fact that I was hobbling/gliding around the store. I haven't been that sore in YEARS! And the day after was no better...

BUT, that soreness is what I am now addicted to! My fitness routine just hasn't been cutting it lately, and I'm sooo excited that I've found something that can re-inspire me, and that really is going to do great things for my body. I'm going next Tuesday as well, and when I get back from Portland I'm going to go 2-3 times a week and alternate this with cardio (I'm also slightly addicted to the eliptical machine...). I'm really excited!

It was awesome to do the class with some of you both days. We had a really great game of pick-up soccer after the workout on Thursday...because we wanted more of a workout? Freda said something along the lines of: only us crazy lulus would want more of a workout after the buttkicking we'd just gone through! So true!

I really, really encourage anyone who hasn't to go to CATZ. Join me next Tuesday, 6:30pm...

Saying goodbye to November, and Hello to December!

I am sitting here on November 30th amazed at where this month as gone. Wow! Time truly seems to fly by. It's been a good month though, and we are looking forward to a great December at Lululemon Pasadena. We are bringing on new people for the holidays, which always add fresh excitement. I'm sitting here listening to the rain fall outside, and feel so relaxed and peaceful. I love the sound of rain falling. So like the rain falling, Fall is falling away to make room for Winter and all it's wonderment. Peace! Tori
