These goals will then feature on a digital ‘hero wall’ streaming the goals of lululemon guests for the duration of the tournament.
“Vision and goal setting is at the centre of our culture at lululemon, and we are excited to bring this to life via the digital goal wall. We are very proud of our partnership with Tennis Australia and this year our guests at the Australian Open will have access to not only our limited-edition product capsule, but also a unique way to set their goals for 2019 and beyond.” – Paul Tinkler, Managing Director, lululemon Australia/New Zealand.

Since the brands inception nearly 20 years ago, mindfulness practices like yoga and meditation remain at the core of what lululemon stands for, aside from its technical athletic apparel offering. lululemon have learnt from athletes, ambassadors, and yogis that mindfulness leads to peak performance in all aspects of life – including sport – through a strong connection between the mind, heart, and physical body.
