Stadium

I am a yoga fanatic. I am obsessed with Pilates. I like to run (away from my problems). I am a 7 day a weeker at Shanti, Purna, and on the streets of Helsinki.
That being said, I go through sports clothes like most people go through underpants. Coming from California where we wear yoga pants and flip flops year-​round, it is outrageous that one can’t find decent fitness wear that is not designed by Stella McCartney in this city. I’ll take decent quality at a reasonable price over questionable quality that costs more than a kidney, thank you very much. Besides, I have LuluLemon OUTFITS that cost less than Nike pants or a Puma running jacket here in Helsinki. Hint, people: order that shit online. Nike running pants do NOT cost 80e ($ 100 give or take) in the US.
I digress. I like their in-​house brand, SOC. If I can’t buy real yoga pants (people: REAL yoga pants are flared at the bottom, not ribbed) here, I’ll settle for the Stadium brand running pants or tight, compression, cropped sports pants. They’re a great deal, very comfortable, and true to size. Also — great selection of sports shoes and great prices on those. Their sales are remarkable. Their kid’s clothes are great, and the sales staff are warm and helpful. If I knew how to snowboard without breaking something, I would totally shop here for gear. Best selection of North Face in the city, too. Oh yeah– in California we also live in our North Face. So… this is kind of like being at home to me.
