Student life can be hard, what with challenging classes, studying, working and trying to fit in a social life, am I right? Take some time this Thursday, February 12, 2015, to decompress in a yoga class (it’s FREE — that fits your student budget!). Think of it as breaking up with the stress in your life.
After savasana, there’ll be health and relationship experts having a frank chat about break-ups (see the theme here??). Not just the relationship variety, but anything in your life you have broken up with, or things you should or want to break up with. Binge-watching the Kardashians, for example, or texting that ex when you know you shouldn’t.
You in? The details:
- It’s only open to Ryerson students.
- Thursday, February 12, 2015, and doors open at noon at RAC, Ryerson University (40 Gould St.)
- To hold a spot, email ASAP: breakupandmove@ryerson.ca
Not a Ryerson student? There’s a series of #BreakUpandMove events in campuses across the country. Check the tumblr regularly to learn more about other events at a campus near you!

There is one very cool yoga event this Saturday if you’re in Toronto and up for some yoga with some art, music and more, too.
Lululemon is hosting Beats & Balance, which involves some of the top yoga instructors in the city doing classes throughout the day, and there’ll be live music performances, too. And after the last class, there’s a party with DJ Brendan Fallis (hello!) and nibbles and drinks.
The event is kicking off Lululemon’s partnering with The Remix Project; proceeds from ticket sales go to this organization whose programs service disadvantaged youth from marginalized communities who are trying to enter into the creative industries.
There are more details in the image above. To buy tickets, click here.
Hope to see you there!

I’m a strong believer that working out in fitness gear that you look and feel good in is motivating. Cute outfits are powerful–I bet on some days, a great fitness outfit can play a role in whether you do your workout or not. I’m pretty good at sticking to my marathon-training schedule, but on the days my favourite pieces are in the laundry and I have to wear some bland, shapeless top I got from a race (most race tops are not very flattering or stylish, right?), I just don’t step out and pound that pavement feeling my best.
If you’re seeking cute fit gear, LOLË Yorkville is a cheerful little boutique where you can find pieces in fun prints (and solids, too) with flattering details, but, of course, with your athletic needs in mind (sweat-wicking fabrics, venting where you need venting, flat seams so you don’t risk chafing, etc.). I’m partial to the running gear (since that’s my main form of fitness) and I love that designer Andy Thê-Anh is a runner himself, so we of course always chat halfs and marathons when I see him at the media previews. But there is a lovely assortment of yoga, lifestyle and some swimwear, too. In fact, what I’m currently coveting are cashmere pieces from from the White by LOLË — although I’d probably wear them more for lounging than sun salutations…
In addition to gear, the shop is a fitness hub where you can take part in yoga classes or run clubs. The run clubs are held in the spring and summer, and yoga meet-ups take place once or twice a week in the store (and occasionally are held in studios for specialized classes such as reformer Pilates). You can get more details on the run clubs and yoga on the Atelier Lole Yorkville Facebook page.
Oh, and if you’re peckish and in need of some fuel when you pop in, there are complimentary beverages and bars available, too. There’s no need to shop hangry!
