Lululemon Honors Slain Employee

Montag, 27. Juni 2011

More than three months ago, a murder at a Bethesda, Maryland, Lululemon Athletica store rocked the local community and the yoga world. At first, a coworker of the slain victim, Jayna Murray, reported that the incident was the result of a botched robbery attempt by a masked gunman. But slowly, her story began to unravel. Eventually, the same coworker, Brittany Norwood, was charged with the murder. Although the loss will never end for the victim’s friends and family, one chapter in this tragedy has come to a close. In honor of the victim, hundreds of people gathered on a promenade across from the Bethesda store on Saturday for an outdoor yoga class in memory of Jayna Murray. “She was such a positive person; she would not want us here being sad. There is no question about not mourning, but just living on with good, forward-moving energy,” yoga instructor Adam Pearlstein, who led the Saturday class, told Gazette.Net. Lululemon Athletica, which closed the Bethesda store after the murder, was eager to put the incident behind it. On its website, the clothing company announced the store’s reopening:   The re-opening will embrace the theme of “love” in honour of Jayna Murray.

But a recent article in the Vancouver Sun suggests that yoga-inspired clothing company Lululemon isn’t doing all that it can to keep its stores stocked with larger-sized clothing (12 and 14? Isn’t that average for American women?). Lululemon does carry sizes 12 and 14 in their core items, a spokesperson told The Sun . Regardless of Lululemon’s practices, the article brings up some important questions: Have plus-size yogia students been excluded from the trendy world of yoga fashion? If you’re an average- or plus-size yogini with curves, do you have a hard time finding comfortable, stylish yoga clothes? Which companies do you think do the best job of creating clothes for all different shapes and sizes?
