For a breath of fresh air, stroll into Embody Activewear.

They bring the outdoors inside: water trickles down the wall, a tree stretches toward the storefront window and tasteful lighting gives off a warm-sunny-day glow. All combined, these elements make shopping at this active wear store as comfortable as a walk in the park.

At Embody Activewear, which opened in June 2010, owner Bonny-Lynn strives to give her customers choice. From soft, natural fibers like tencel, hemp and bamboo to strong, glossy moisture-wicking fabrics, Embody carries a variety of lines that also cater to different shapes, sizes and price ranges. Eighty-five percent of the product housed in this Bullfrog powered space is made in North America, if not Canada, so you can be a comfy and conscious shopper.

Embody operates as a boutique-style store and offers only minimum size runs, so if you’re contemplating over that new top, keep in mind it may not be there the next time. The passionate staff knows the product and what it means to move in it, so ask their expert opinion to help you decide.

If you’re looking to stay healthy and fit, try one of Embody’s in-store classes, drop by for a session at Bonny-Lynn’s Pilates studio or check out their community bulletin board covered top to bottom with flyers promoting local mindfulness, yoga, fitness and cooking classes.

Easy and breezy.
