 lululemon ambassadors are local athletes, instructors and/or role models in communities where there is a lululemon store. The program exists as a way to celebrate and promote athletic leaders who reflect lululemon’s core values. Ambassadors lead complimentary in-store classes, including yoga and running groups. They also test lululemon product to the limits, then provide feedback on design, fit and function.

To celebrate the store opening, lululemon invites guests to a 60-minute Rock Yoga class on Saturday evening at 7 p.m., led by lululemon ambassador Gina Pachkowski from Alluem Yoga. Celebrations continue Sunday morning with a 60-minute Vinyasa Flow class with Emma Kealy of Powerflow yoga at 9:45 a.m. All in-store classes are complimentary, open to the public and suitable for all levels
