Forget the deep breathing, meditation and "ohm" side of yoga; there's a new method in Delray Beach that combines elements of traditional practice with athletic conditioning aimed at strengthening, lengthening and opening the body.

Partners Kirk Slobody and Janine Tiede have formed SloBody a conditioning-infused yoga practice that focuses on the physicality of fitness rather than the devotional aspects.

Slobody and Tiede refer to their method as "naked yoga" because they strip the practice "down to its core" and intertwine it with old-school conditioning exercises such as squats, lunges, core work and push-ups.

"We wanted to blend a lot of the other patterns of fitness and really have the voice of the coaches," Tiede said. "We found a niche with folks who were looking for a yoga that is practical, athletic and relevant to their active, professional lives and activities."

Their tag-team approach allows one of the teachers to serve as a visual guide during poses while the other walks around making slight corrections to students' form to achieve the maximum benefit.

"There's a level of enjoyable discomfort about it. Other practices tell you to 'go where your body wants,'" Slobody said. "It's 'anything is better than nothing' versus having that 'all or nothing' philosophy."

Slobody took up yoga while in college as an alternative to medication for his high blood pressure. He was a swimmer at George Washington University, and the fluid movements of yoga calmed his body.

"I explored many styles and teachers, and the benefits were great, but I felt something was missing. The traditional vibe of guru didn't jibe with my personality," Slobody said. "I didn't want to smell the incense, hear the chanting or deal with nonsense [or] dogma that was a distraction to my goals."

Tiede met Slobody during college, where she competed on the school's gymnastics team. She's also a dancer.

"I came to practice SloBody after being injured in a car accident. The practice resonated with my body and rehabbed my injuries with much more efficiency than the physical therapy I was assigned," she said. "To my surprise, I also found it extremely beneficial to my dancing, performance and teaching. I was hooked.

Iyengar Yoga

Developed by yoga master B K S Iyengar more than 60 years ago, Iyengar promotes strength, flexibility, endurance, and balance through coordinated breathing and postures that require precise body alignment. It covers all eight aspects of Ashtanga and the postures are held longer than in other styles, says Bhargava. "You slowly move into an asana, hold it for a minute, and then rest for a few breaths before stretching into another," she says. Props such as cushions, blankets, straps and blocks are used to aid the less flexible. "Although Iyengar incorporates the traditional asanas that constitute Hatha yoga, the props enable everyone - including the elderly, sick, and disabled - to practise it," says Bhargava. Moreover, because of its slow pace and attention to detail, Iyengar yoga is recommended to those recovering from injuries, chronic medical conditions like arthritis, and beginners who want to learn the correct alignments in each asana.

Lululemon is starting to get Luon black yoga pants, which were pulled in March for being too sheer, back into its stores.

The return bodes well for the company, according to analysts.

Lululemon Athletica had blamed a style change and production problems for the sheerness issue. It hired a new team to oversee manufacture of the pants, which cost $72 to $98. The company has said it expects $57 million to $67 million in lost sales.

But that hasn't mattered much to its stock, though. Lululemon shares have gained 18 percent since it announced that it was pulling the pants off its shelves. The stock rose $1.48 to $79.29 on Monday.

The company said that it will be steadily increasing Luon pants inventory through June. Inkwell Wunder Under yoga pants were available Monday on the company's website, and checks by Wedbush analysts found Groove and Astro pants in stores across the country over the weekend.

Lululemon Yoga Pants Make a Comeback

Lululemon Athletica Inc. is bringing its black luon yoga pants back into stores in June, this time with more fabric across the bum so its not stretched from the get-go," the company says.

The bottoms, which now have to undergo a raft of 15 tests before being delivered, were pulled from shelves in March after customers complained that the thin fabric was exposing more than just good yoga form.

But you already knew that, unless, as Lululemon wrote in an aw-shucks but still sassy blog post, you were under a rock.

The company now refers to the scandal as its luon setback, so named because the outcry centered on its luon fabric, which it described as moisture-wicking, four-way stretch, high Lycra content, cottony-soft.

The pants accounted for 17% of the companys sales. Within weeks of the pants problem, Chief Product Officer Sheree Waterson had left her post.

The recipe, for the cloth hasnt changed, but there are big time upgrades to the testing process and standards its subjected to, Lululemon said in its blog post. The pattern used to make the bottoms has also been re-engineered to minimize stretching.

The company even said it asked university scientists to develop a so-called sheer-o-meter to measure how much light shines through the fabric while the luon is stretched.

The Vancouver, Canada, company also had this entreaty for customers: Lets get real about sheerness. Luon is a knit fabric if you stretch a knit fabric far enough, it will go sheer. Thats why the right fit is key.

Soon after the too-skimpy pants were whisked out of stores in March, Lululemon downgraded its predictions for its first fiscal quarter, warning investors that the issue will have a significant impact on its financials.
