Speeding home in a cab last night I glimpsed the shiny, new, colorful Lululemon Athletica store in SoHo. I've been waiting for a while for a full downtown outlet of the upscale yoga/work-out duds store for a while. It looks sufficiently yogini-in-a-Lulustore fun. Like the other three shops, this location will also have free community classes and events.

First one is Saturday, October 4 at 8:30 am—a "Physique 57 mat class" (er, anyone know what that is?) and the next is on Sunday at 9:30—a pun-y "willPower & Grace" class. (You can sign up for either by emailing soho-community@lululemon.com.) For those of us who sleep on weekends, on October 12, the store will start offering free, open-level yoga classes from 8pm to 9pm. Mats are provided and you need not RSVP.

And in case you want to get money from Lululemon instead of the other way around, looks like they're hiring through Craigslist, just in time for the vanishing of Wall Street (a.k.a. the perfect opportunity to breeeathe.). The listed job qualifications for "Educators" actually make it sound like a fun place to work (I say "actually" because I learned long ago that spiritual product does not automatically mean spiritual workplace).

Here are some of their cool pre-reqs: "You’re generous with authentic praise and know how to give solution based feedback" and "You’re dedicated to a healthy lifestyle (not to be confused with total obsession, unreasonable fixation, or aggregated dependence)."
