Come get your yoga on as we practice in a way that is designed to improve your posture and comfort during and after riding a bike.
This is a FREE workshop that will include a 45 minute preparation/warm up, a 15 minute bike ride, and a 1.5 hour yoga practice/short discussion at the end.
We will start at Moksha Yoga Center at 2525 W. Armitage Ave and end at 700 N. Carpenter St.
The workshop will begin with a short warm up sequence that brings attention to some key principles of alignment that will help you bike in a way that feels better. Then we will go on a bike ride to have the opportunity to integrate that information. After the ride we will do a series of stretches that address much of the tightness/overuse that happens while riding.
As part of the workshop we will do a short ride down Milwaukee Ave., so please come if you are comfortable with street riding. If you aren't comfortable with street riding and want to be, write me a message and we can go for a bike ride together on another day =) Make sure to come with your bike!!! If there is a chance of rain bring your raincoat--we'll still be riding!
No yoga experience is necessary, but there will be a lot of information to take in if you aren't familiar with the basic poses. I would be overjoyed if a bike rider is interested who hasn't done yoga before, but just be comfortable with doing it at your own pace and some modifications!

Would have liked to attend this! Just saw it though. Please do it again Ari!!
I'm bummed I can't make this, but I'll make sure I get the day off from work if you do this again. I think it's a great idea!
