 Salutation Nation is an annual, international day of yoga hosted by lululemon athletica.


This year, Salutation Nation is on Saturday, September 10 at 9 a.m. (local

time)

 Every lululemon athletica store across North America, along with our Hong Kong

showroom and London, UK community, will be hosting a one hour complimentary

outdoor yoga class.

 For a full list of participating stores and locations, please visit

http://www.salutationnation.com

 Classes are complimentary, suitable for all levels and led by local yoga ambassadors

 Our goal is to share Salutation Nation with 100,000 people; upwards of 3,000 people are

expected to practice together in some larger communities

 No equipment is needed to practice. Participants can bring a mat or practice directly on

the grass or sand, depending on where the class is being held.

 lululemon athletica created Salutation Nation to share the gift of yoga and provide a

unique outdoor space for community members to connect. If one person tries yoga for the

first time; if two people connect during a sun salutation; if a group of friends move their weekly

Saturday morning yoga practice outdoors, Salutation Nation will be a success.

 Salutation Nation is a decentralized event. Every Salutation Nation class will be distinct

as it will reflect what is most appropriate and meaningful for the community in which it

is taking place. While lululemon initiated the concept by enlisting yoga instructors and

fitness leaders from their local communities, the event has grown simply through word

of mouth.
