Yoga Sessions

On Saturday March 26th 11:30am - 1pm and April 16th 1-2:30pm, Hillary Higgins will be leading Triathlon Club members through two yoga sessions in the Profile Room at the Talisman Centre. These sessions take place after the morning group ride and will offer up a nice way to relax your tired muscles.

Embracing an athletic background, Hillary has taught yoga specific seminars for runners and sports teams as well as one-on-one personal programs. Yoga has provided tremendous benefits for the athletes not only in body awareness but also injury prevention. Now for the Tri-club, she will present a two part series incorporating the practice of yoga in a tangible class focused specifically for triathletes. The multi-level class will incorporate a variety of yoga styles to lengthen muscles, relieve tension and encourage breath capacity – all skills to enhance training for the race season. Whether you are a practiced yogi, or have never stepped onto a mat, this is an opportunity to flow your triathlon training into a light-hearted yoga practice.

Over the last five years Hillary has been teaching yoga to a variety of ages through a wide breadth of class types. She completed the 200 hour Yoga Alliance Teaching Certificate in Calgary in the classical Ashtanga training series. After, she spent a considerable amount of time in Rishikesh, India at the Anand Prakash Ashram obtaining a further 500 hour accreditation with the Yoga Alliance and further specializing in yoga for children, pre-natal yoga, and yoga for athletes. Enjoying the depth of a multitude of yoga practices, she loves sharing the classical Ashtanga series, flow, hatha, yoga nidra, meditation and hot yoga fundamentals classes.
