Description

Urban cyclists share many physical complaints: achy backs, tender wrists, tight hamstrings, slumpy posture. Emotionally, riding is by turns taxing and exhilarating - the beauty of the sky and the freedom of the open road mixed with the always-present potential for conflict and injury.

This workshop, presented in two three-hour segments, is designed to support both the body and spirit of the modern cyclist. In each segment we'll start with a restorative, centering meditation and then get moving: gently stretching and strengthening areas that need attention.

We'll also work with self-massage, meditation and breathing techniques to help relieve stress and be present both on and off the saddle.
