Athleta Shopping Experience

I am participating in a VIN campaign. I am receiving a fee for posting; however, the opinions expressed in this post are my own. I am in no way affiliated with Athleta and do not earn a commission or percent of sales. #ad #vn

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.

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 are completely 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 when I 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.

De-tox Winter 2014 For A New You! - Happy New Year!

De-tox Winter 2014 For A New You! - Happy New Year!

Because the days are much shorter in the Winter, you’re aware of the need to get more natural sunlight to ward off the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), caused by light deprivation. And you take special care to nurture the organs of the season, the kidneys and the adrenal glands.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS CLEANSING IN WINTER?

• The holidays tend to bring on weight gain for most people.
• Our bodies are striving for balance with nature, so as the season shifts to winter, our bodies need support with nourishing foods that support the kidneys (the central organ of winter).
• Winter builds up mucus in the body which can lead to allergies, getting sick, feeling sluggish.
• Instead of making resolutions for quick fixes,  detox is a way to set an intention for the year. An intention to take care of yourself with a clean-eating lifestyle plan.
  
• You get to connect with the season and start to notice the difference between stress eating vs. real hunger.

You may experience:

• average weight loss of 4-10 pounds
• decreased belly fat and bloating
• feeling lighter
• tons of energy
• sugar cravings disappeared
