Lululemon Athletica is a yoga inspired athletic company that produces clothing for not only yoga but also cycling, running, and hiking. Founded by Chip Wilson, the original idea of the store was to be a community where people can discuss physical aspects of healthy living from diet to exercise, but because of the company's growth, the retail stores had to remain focused on the clothing and how the apparel would help people attain their fitness goals.
About Yoga
Yoga is a type of exercise that combines the mind, body, and spirit. While there are many different types of yoga, all consist of different types of poses while controlling your breath. Some types of yoga even incorporate chanting and meditation. The benefits from yoga are improved balance, strength and flexibility, and reduction of stress and anxiety.
