prAna Boulder

I was nicely surprised by the customer service I got yesterday looking for a swimming suit. I cannot remember the name of the girl who helped me, but she was friendly and real and had strawberry brown hair. She was helpful and although she didn’t have the suit I was looking for, she knew exactly what I was referring to and tried her best to accommodate. Nice to have a welcoming sales person on the 16^th St. mall. The next store I went to had someone with an attitude and I chose to leave because of it. Great Service!

This is one of the athletic/​casual stores I like to browse on Pearl. Even thought there is much prAna merchandise in other stores around Boulder, this company store has some exclusives. Occasionally I find something just perfect for the need when I have looked everywhere else first. This week I found just the casual style jacket I was looking for. In this town, most outerwear seems to be athletic or dressy and not much in between.
The staff is just barely friendly, usually preoccupied with stock work. But the space is not so large that I cannot look for myself. One staff member did help me this time as I could not find the color and size I wanted or even reach the hooks the jackets were hung on.

After years of walking by, I finally stopped into PrAna because of the awesome Black Friday sale they were having.
I must say, this has some of the friendliest staff I’ve ever experienced in town, with everyone overly willing to help find what youre looking for or offer suggestions.
The clothes here are pricey but made with gorgeous wool and soft cotton. The day I came in happened to have a great sale going so we ended up purchasing several items for 30% off.
Another awesome perk to prAna? They offer free fitness classes every single day in their basement! Stop in and grab a calendar for the month at their checkout counter.

Very helpful employees. I had a complicated issue with some clothing needing an exchange that was out of stock and they got it solved. I love their linear board shorts for surfing, working out, hiking, running, etc. Check them out!

I stopped in the other day as I had a gift card I needed to cash in and was curious to see what they had available. I had never shopped at prAna before and assumed by the name that they were a yoga apparel company. I was right — to an extent.
The colors of the women’s apparel is vibrant and feminine, but not exactly my style. I’m 27 and found that a majority of the clothes available were suited for women much older than I. Think of this store as a yoga based Title Nine.
I picked up a soft cotton yoga tank that I intended to use while running. The prices are VERY high here. The average price for a workout tank is $ 60 and black running shorts start at $ 55. The store definitely caters to the older women in Boulder, but I don’t see myself shopping here regularly.
The staff was SO SO friendly and helpful. The location of this store is ideal — right on the Pearl Street Mall. I also saw that they have yoga classes in the store, which I would take full advantage of if I lived within walking distance of the store.

I think its really awesome that Prana offers free yoga. However, I just organized my day around going to one of their classes and the teacher never showed up. Not only that but I actually had to go to the front desk myself after a group of people were waiting in the yoga room to ask if the teacher was coming. No one even bothered to let us know. Again, understand that its free but its insulting to have to sit down there without any update from any one. I belong to another studio but decided to skip the class i normally go to and give Prana a try. Not only that but one of the people waiting take the class also said the same thing happened last week to her there and the night before when I dropped by to see what kind of classes they offered I overheard one of the sales associates saying «there is a group of people downstairs for class and no teacher». Doesn’t seem like this is a one time thing.

Free yoga?! Thanks prAna!!!

Prana is a beautiful store, but I feel the prices are way too high and out of my budget. Why I am writing this review however is for the yoga classes. I feel that donation-​based yoga is such a sweet gift to give to the Boulder community.
If you are looking for a great teacher, no matter what level, you must take Rash’s class. It is more on the advanced level as a heads up. There is a wonderful flow to his class and he has a great selection of music that really transforms you into your practice. If you are looking for more of a yoga practice on the spiritual side though, I would then recommend taking Sheila’s class. She had us dedicate our practice to a loved one (or to ourselves) and we chanted and meditated before and after the class.
I would highly recommend yoga at Prana. This is also a great place to meet friends. I was new to Boulder when I began attending classes and met lovely people here.
Just remember it is donation — based though. I heard from a friend that it was free and remember when I first went, I didn’t see the bucket. Then the following time I attended a class, I noticed it and felt awful that I didn’t pay for the first class (I ended up leaving my donation up front with the girl at the desk for that teacher). Please go and support the Boulder community; you won’t regret it!

Their clothes are great looking on the hanger but the one shirt I purchased here (a halter top for yoga) began pilling immediately and developed a hole in the side after about three wears. At lululemon prices, I feel it’s not to much to ask to be able to wash & wear normally with no extra pampering.
This was last year and I decided to give this place a chance again this year. Not only did I have to track down an employee for a fitting room (who seemed put out to have to wave toward a room), everything looked terrible on. Yeah, yeah, maybe it’s me, but an $ 80 pair of yoga pants should be flattering and not show everything. The tops all did the «you used to have two boobs and now you have four!» look. Hooray! It’s like paying $ 60 for a top and then getting a bonus in the front. On the flip side, the sports bra I tried on (same size as four-​boob tops) was kind of saggy and didn’t really seem to hold anything up.
Yet another reason I remain a lulu devotee: same prices but the exact opposite of everything this place offered in terms of clothing durability/​fit and overall experience/​staff friendliness. I’ll probably still admire their clothes on a hanger from afar, but would be very hesitant to ever purchase anything.

Free Yoga. Need I say more? And you don’t need to buy their clothes to take the classes.
I’m a recent grad, on a budget, and deeply committed to my yoga practice. the classes at Prana fit my needs and have filled my schedule with lots of fun classes that I wouldn’t have tried otherwise, like Drum Yoga and Yoga for Climbers. i recommend Jonathan’s vinyasa class on Tuesdays at noon.
5 stars, because the price is right.

Price is not as important as value. Prana makes a high quality product that lasts a very long time. I’ve used my mojo shorts for 7 – 8 years, and they still kick ass. I’ve been a fan for 15 years. Bring back the RK pant!

Prana is freakin’ expensive. But the clothes are great quality and last forever. Here’s how to shop there:
1. Sign up for their email list.
2. Twice a year they will notify you of a 40% off EVERYTHING in the store sale (fall and spring).
3. enjoy

Excellent eco-​minded yoga & active lifestyle shop! The goods are wonderfully made, albeit a bit pricey. My husband can find really nice t-​shirts here (that are breathable enough for him), and I could live in their Bliss skirt or yoga pants. The store is really nice inside, very clean & relaxing. The location couldn’t be better, except that parking is sometimes an issue. Wish we had one of these closer to where I live now! Check it out, but be ready to drop a bit of cash. It’s worth it, though! The essentials they sell are well-​constructed and will last you awhile!
PS: I have never been to any of their free yoga classes, but I did see that they offer quite a few. A good way to get some yoga in your life without paying lots of $!

Yes, Prana I love your clothing and that you do free alterations. But I was moved to Unilocal about the yoga classes that you offer, specifically with Sheila (Hatha Yoga on Wednesday). As soon as I can figure out categories, I’ll do a Yoga in Boulder Category.
I am so impressed! I have searched high and low for this sort of dedication and skill with a yoga teacher. Hands down, the BEST class I’ve been to in Boulder, heck, the best class I’ve been to — ever. Is it true that the best things in life ARE free? I’ve been going to yoga for almost 10 years. tried corepower, om time, my gym, yoga workshop, etc., paid my $ 15 and never felt quite like this. And this class was free. Well, by donation, but seriously?!
If you are looking for a great teacher, no matter what level, you must come out! It was gentle and challenging at the same time. I wanted to scream «F you!» in this deep squat and it’s like she was reading my mind and said «if you are starting to plot me death, it’s okay.» It is?! Thanks for validating my feelings:) I appreciated her humor and sincerity. I mostly appreciated that her instruction was beyond physical. The spiritual side of yoga is what makes it yoga, IMHO. She had us dedicate our practice and was able to simplify for the beginners and add more options for those of us who wanted to deepen our asanas. I felt completely supported and found myself totally relaxing into her instruction — never questioning if I was doing the asanas right. She also rally focuses on the transitions from one pose to another. I had never seen the way she instructed us from down dog to cobra. I so appreciated this! I know I am not the only one, there was quite a bit of cash in the offering basket! And well deserved. I will definitely be back! Thank you Prana for offering these classes and thank you Sheila! Wow, I think I’m still on the yoga high:)

We are very lucky to have Prana, which offers free yoga classes to the community, but other than that, I can see no reason to go to Prana. Their prices are cripplingly expensive and I do not know anyone in their right mind that would spend $ 80 on Yoga pants, which is why this shop was set up here in Boulder.

We are lucky to have the only Prana store besides the first in the Bay Area. I first started seeing Prana stuff in REI and other outdoor stores over 10 years ago. Originally bouldering-​focused climber-​wear, I think, they now also focus on yoga and just plain active, nature/​outdoor apparel & accessories. Recent years they have tried to move more upscale — think eco-​yuppie, and their new store in Boulder certainly reflects that aesthetic, with green construction and natural/​recycled materials. Think a more modern Patagucci for lifestyle, with nicer color palettes and graphics, sometimes with a small touch of hipster style.
I think the store is pretty attractive and nice, though it only carries a fraction of their line for men and women. Sizing for all their garments can vary quite a bit (slim-​fit sometimes way too tight), so now I find it helpful to size by trying on at this store, but ordering online from their (or another) website, where the selection is better. I’ve been pleased with the customer service and shipping from buying online, though the brick & mortar staff here have also been pretty friendly and helpful.
Things I like include comfortable shorts with *gusset crotch*, lightweight cotton tees and collared shirts, wicking material active tops, and fleecy winter tops + hoodies.

prAna dearest,
Have been in LOVE with prAna since it landed in Singapore soil. So now eversince living in the US, I love shopping at prAna. Be it thru online or thru other Sporting Goods that carry prAna lines. So when I get to know they have a STORE here in Colorado ~ Boulder we went.
Purchase several climbing T-​shirts that fancy me and I love the store coz of its service and all the poster designs relating to climbing, yoga or adventure that I can relate.
If only they can open another store here in Denver, perhaps in the future.
