Yoga is no more a trendy fad, but a lifestyle choice that many health-conscious people are making. With yoga classes and workshops springing up in every neighborhood, the demand for yoga gear is only going to increase. That is where Lululemon comes into the picture.

Going forward, Lululemon has planned store openings in Europe and Asia in 2014. The company already has stores in consumer-driven markets such as Hong Kong, Berlin, London and Singapore. It plans to have 300 stores in the U.S. alone. There are also plans to start standalone stores for men by 2016.

"Plans have been laid for the next five years and a vision
for the next 10. Now is the right time to bring in a CEO who will drive the next phase of Lululemon's development and growth. I will continue to actively lead the organization while the board searches for a new CEO, and will work
