Mindfitness Triathlon

On September 30 and October 6, 2016 the first ever in Canada TIME OUT Mindfitness Triathlons (fitness, yoga and meditation) were launched in an Edmonton Catholic and Edmonton Public School with over 700 students and teachers.  Since that time thousands of kids and adults have participated in the Mindfitness Triathlon.

DONATE to the Agrios Mindfitness TIME OUT School Programs.


The Agrios Mindfitness Triathlon incorporates fitness, yoga, and meditation as well as a 40-day Mindfulness Challenge. Using movement and breath we connect the mind and body. Unlike traditional triathlons (swimming, cycling and running competitions), this triathlon focuses on three core areas – mind, body and heart. Together we will have the opportunity to explore the mind body connection and learn new skills that will help reduce stress, improve memory and increase concentration. The fitness component is about having fun and creating a non-competitive environment where we support, encourage and help each other out. Over 8000 adults and kids have taken the TIME OUT Mindfulness Challenge. Will you be the next?

1980’s AGRIOS MINDFITNESS TRIATHLON FUNDRAISING EVENT (FULL MOON)
On the evening of the full moon on June 9, we will all come together as a community to bring awareness and raise funds for mental health and wellness for kids and teens…something I’m passionate about and hold very close to my heart.  During our time together we will do a triathlon: run/ walk, yoga and meditation.  We will also begin Day 1 of the 40 day Mindfulness Challenge which includes doing a special full moon meditation. Everyone will receive a handout of this meditation as well as an Agrios Mindfitness band.  So get ready to join the Mindfulness Movement, connect with yourself and others, laugh, have fun and dance too.
