Lululemon solves sheer yoga pants problem
Posted: June 4, 2013 at 11:55 am
Lululemon is bringing back its black luon yoga pants, shown here before a March recall, after addressing a problem that made them see-through.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
The store pulled the pants from its stores in March after it was discovered that some of the pants became too sheer when the wearer would bend over. The pants that were pulled had accounted for 17% of the company's sales before the recall.
The problem forced the company to cut its revenue and profit forecasts and led to the departure of its top products executive.
Lululemon announced in a blog post that it re-engineered the material used to make the pants to minimize the stretching of the fabric.
"Basically, that means there's now more fabric across the bum so it's not stretched from the get-go," said the blog post. "Luon is a knit fabric -- if you stretch a knit fabric far enough, it will go sheer. That's why the right fit is key."
The company said it will be increasing inventory levels of the pants throughout the month of June. It said the reduced annual sales guidance it gave in March at the time of the recall remains in place.

Lululemon is due to report results Monday for its fiscal first quarter, which ran through April. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters are forecasting a 6% drop in earnings despite a 19% gain in revenue in the period.
Shares of Lululemon (LULU) rose nearly 2% Monday following the blog post, and were up again in premarket trading Tuesday. Shares tumbled 5% in the days immediately following the recall, but have since recovered to climb 26% through Monday, when it closed near an all-time high for the stock.

Miranda Kerr gets flexible on the beach with a yoga workout
Posted: at 8:57 am
The ex-Victoria's Secret Angel had been hard at work shooting images for her Kora Organics line when she put up a picture of her in a full back bend yoga pose:
Stretch it out #yoga #openyourheart #summertimeinstagram.com/p/aEeieIkMK0/
The model practices yoga every day and in an interview with Mind Body Green, explained, 'I have been practicing yoga for over a decade now and it is a very important part of my life.
It doesn't matter where I am or what I am doing, yoga gives me the opportunity to switch off and focus entirely on my body and my breath. Yoga allows me to meditate and reflect on what's important in my life. It is also great for core strength and maintaining agility,' explained Miranda.
Not going to lie, we are big Miranda Kerr fans, but this exercise in rib counting makes us think she's leaning a little on the too skinny side. What do you think?

Yoga studio adds twist to St. Jude campaign

A central Ohio yoga studio is one of about 20 nationwide that will host a "yogathon" Saturday, June 15, to raise awareness and funding for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Stephanie Rosenblum, co-owner of Gahanna-based Burn Yoga, said studios across the country will conduct classes from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. as part of an inaugural fundraiser called "Yoga Gives to St. Jude Kids."
All proceeds will go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center devoted solely to children.
"The cool thing about this yogathon is that we're the only yoga studio representing Ohio," Rosenblum said. "You don't have to attend every class. You can attend as many as you want. Our instructors are donating their time. It will be very cool."
St. Jude spokesperson Rachel Kerr said the event is designed for people of all ages with diverse levels of experience to not only stretch their bodies but also open their hearts for children who are battling cancer and other deadly diseases by raising funds through the nine-hour yogathon.
Because of fundraisers like this one, she said, no patient family ever pays St. Jude for anything, and its research discoveries continue to be shared freely so that one child saved at St. Jude means thousands more saved worldwide.
In fact, Kerr said, St. Jude researchers and doctors have helped extend overall survival rates of childhood cancer from 20 to 80 percent over the past 50 years.
Rosenblum said a former student had contacted her and co-owner Becky Lottridge about hosting the benefit.
