Therefore, I’m going to be grateful for the month that I have left of summer in NYC first of all ... then pace myself with my plans for the Fall.

I
have always had delightful experiences when visiting the community at
Vibrant Nation. Vibrant Nation is the leading community of women 45+ -
they really DO understand! I enjoy looking through the content and sharing my thoughts with the community.
I was very lucky to be selected to participate in a Vibrant Nation experience. It included shopping for athletic clothing for a yoga event with fellow bloggers, going to dinner, and then attending ayoga event!
During
the Vibrant Nation experience, I was able to meet other bloggers from
across the country. How marvelous to enjoy the company and wisdom of
mature likeminded women.
It was great to learn about other bloggers, as VN treated us toZero Otto Nove, an Italian restaurant.We shared stories from our unique perspectives and engaged with our "vibrant" personalities.
Vibrant Nation's staff are sincerely tuned in to their audience and work diligently to inspire, empower and provide quality content. The content goes beyond their powerful online presence to intimate in-person settings.
Vibrant Nation treated myself and fellow bloggers with an outfit from Athleta so that we could feel well dressed for an aerial
yoga event we were attending the next day. As you know, I teach yoga so
I was very excited for this opportunity. When I walked in the store,
the shopping experience provided us with a personal connection to the Athleta brand quality customer service.
My first introduction to Athleta was during my participation in the Solstice In Times Square 2014: Athleta Mind Over Madness Yoga. The volunteers got great outfits sponsored by Athleta and I would browse the Upper West Side, NYC Store.
The Athleta staff
in the Flatiron, NYC store with the Yoga studio below, was very
helpful. Once they saw me selecting several items, they took the
selections and set up a dressing room for me. While in the dressing
room, the staff kept checking on me and bringing me alternative sizes
and styles to meet my specifications in an outfit.
Yes, I showed off my newX tank top and legging from Athletaat the Solstice in Times Square event June 21, 2016.
I will definitely shop at Athleta again; they are the kind of athletic gear facility that makes me feel like a kid in a candy store. I recommend Athleta to my yoga students who are looking for quality clothing to practice in.
At the yoga event we were treated to a light breakfast while enjoying a meet and greet.The aerial yoga session was amazing and challenging; your muscles are really tested. It was my first time trying it and it evoked my childhood gymnastics days and my 20-year yoga practice. I surprised myself with the amount of strength I did have to pose for the awesome photo shot of me in an Aerial Yoga split!
I am so grateful for the Vibrant Nation Network and highly recommend other bloggers to connect with likeminded women
engaging this nation of empty nesters, midlife entrepreneurs, mothers
of adult children, caregivers, and business leaders. VN is professionally run by a caring and dedicated staff. VibrantNation.com is
the leading online community for women over 45 – the place where they
connect and support each other on issues unique to their stage of life,
including fashion, beauty, family, work, relationships, health, fitness,
money, and sex. I look forward to continuing to contribute and grow
with the Vibrant Nation Network.

The Vineyard gained it's reputation as a tourist destination because of the extraordinary delightful summer weather that usually never gets above 90 degrees. So popular, that during my stay from August 6 - 14th, President Obama and family were there.
I really enjoying providing the Yoga Flava experience in private small group settings.

Being
that I am a 34DD, I was concerned if they would have something that
worked for me. Anyone who has larger assets like myself, knows that
finding something flattering AND functional is a real job!
I was very excited to find many clothing options that worked for me!
The staff was very helpful. Once they saw me selecting several items, they took the selections and set up a dressing room for me. While in the dressing room, the staff kept checking on me and bringing me alternative sizes and styles to meet my specifications in an outfit.
Check us out in our new outfits!
I was very surprised by the community aspect of Athleta's studio and classes. The store we visited, debuted a fitness studio in the basement.The fitness studio is your typical studio with a large mirror and wooden floors. They even have equipment for the classes such as mats, light hand weights and towels. The classes arecompletely free to patrons who wish to participate and range from Barre to yoga to lunchtime meditation.
Anyone wishing to participate in a class can sign-in through a no-fuss digital front desk.
Check your local store page for details, then show up and get your sweat on. I would love to take part in the classes and perhaps one day teach a yoga class there.
My favorite Athleta purchase was the Optimism Tank top that held my 34DDs and it performed well when I wore it. Even whenI went upside down the aerial yoga session.
My favorite part of the Athleta shopping experience was that I never felt rushed or neglected. I took my time while trying to pick the perfect outfit for my event. The staff was patient and asked great questions about what exactly I was looking for!
I will definitely shop at Athleta again; they are the kind of athletic gear facility that makes me feel like a kid in a candy store. I recommend Athleta to my yoga students who are looking for quality clothing to practice in.
