Week of April 30th

Yoga Teacher Training

I'm booked to go to Costa Rica for 3 weeks in September to get my 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training! I have been taking a fantastic workshop series at the OAC over last several months. Their new yoga studio is great and the instructors are some of the best in the city. In the Fall we started incorporating yoga into the spin and strength workouts. Triumphers have been reporting less aches and pains and great strength and flexibilty. I have also been studying Reiki. I have completed my Level 1 training and will be taking Level 2 in June. I look forward to sharing it all next Fall.

 

Upcoming May Races

May 12 - Somersault Duathlon and road races on the Rockliffe Parkway

Time trials are a great way to train when you want to do a hard workout outside of the spin studio. You can join for the whole season and do as many as you like on either day. I recommend doing a short run after to get the real brick effect.
