Definitely make the trek up to Yonge and Eglinton before the 11th! Great collaboration by three of my favourite neighbourhood stores! Definitely time to pamper myself and perhaps pick up a new Lululemon top!

Free stuff!

Today was my lucky today as I received a special care package from Nike (I’m coaching a 10 km running clinic and its goal race is the 2009 Nike Human Race) . Got some lunar glides, a Sportsband and an outfit. Looking forward to trying out the Nike Sportsband on upcoming runs. Will keep you posted with how it keeps track of my runs. 

Thank you Nike!

Thriller

If you can remember the 1980s then you most likely tried to recreate the moves from Michael Jackson’s Thriller video at some point. According to the Guinness Book of World Records (2006) the video is the most successful music video to date. The song and video are also featured in multiple movies and shows. A  recent sighting was in my beloved 13 going on 30 movie with Jennifer Garner.

If you are looking for your own 13 going on 30 moment you should check out the 2009 Thrill the World – Toronto edition. Thrill the World is an annual worldwide simultaneous dance of the song. Currently Austin holds the record for gathering the most people. Torontonians now have something to prove…

From now until October 19th you have the chance to meet every Monday at 7:15 p.m. with other Thriller lovers and learn how to do the moves from the video. 

Kind of a crazy, different, but perhaps fun workout? It is also free! Check out their website for all the details on where and when to meet.

Did you ever want to try out a Moksha yoga class…for free?

On August 29^th Moksha will be hosting a full day of free yoga classes – all studios are participating! This promo was designed to help Canadians de-stress with a relaxing 60 minute yoga class. The nearest studio to me, Moksha Yoga Uptown, is offering 9 yoga classes that day – hot yoga, yin, Hatha, Ashtanga and Pilates classes are all being offered. They will also be accepting donations which will benefit the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) which is awesome way to give back to the community.

For those of you that are interested check out the Moksha website to find what the studio nearest you is offering that day. This is a great opportunity to find out if Moksha is for you and even if it isn’t you will get a fantastic workout. Whenever I do a class there I feel as though I have been completely detoxified. Unfortunately, for me those results are usually counteracted when I head down to Terroni straight after for one of their yummy pizzas and red wine…

Many Pilates studios prefer if new students take a couple of private sessions before joining any of their group classes. Private sessions with fully qualified Pilates instructors can be quite costly, so whenever you can get a deal on a private definitely take advantage! You can use this coupon at Stott Pilates studio at Yonge and Eglinton.

Stott Pilates is also offering a free introductory group class!
