Featured Retailer: Embody Activewear

Embody Activewear opened its doors in June of 2010 with a special mission: to be a hub of the Yoga and Pilates community in the healthy community of Canmore, Alberta, Canada. We pride ourselves in carrying various brands of unique, high-quality clothing, each with its distinct fabric, fit and function. We especially love carrying brands that are made from eco-sustanible fabrics such as bamboo, hemp, tencel, and organic cotton. Lines that hold a special social or environmental responsibility are also highlighted, whether there's a "meal donated to a person in need for every product sold" or a "tree planted for every product sold." Our customers enjoy purchasing products that are good both for themselves as well as good for the Earth and our fellow man.

We also filled a need in our community for carrying the highest quality and selection of Yoga mats, props and accessories, with Manduka being our key-stone line. Not only do our customers appreciate the high performance quality, design, and durability of Manduka products, but they also LOVE Manduka's mission and message of spreading love, joy, unity, and care for the planet. It's the story of Manduka products that really resonates with people and we are proud to carry it in our store.

On top of being a retail store, Embody also educates its customers and community by offering Pilates and Meditation classes, as well as various yoga workshops and events. Health practitioners are supported by receiving a special discount on gear, as well as opportunities to promote their health and wellness services. We also support local high-performance athletes by giving them a place of employment that offers flexibility around their training and competition schedule, discounts on gear and health services to help them achieve their goals and dreams. We support numerous local charities and events are determined to help people live a more balanced lifestyle. Our store is driven by our hearts and we're loving every minute of it!
