Yoga/Pilates for Cyclists: The "SIG-Ready" Sequel, starting Feb 2011

Karin teaches a M.E.L.T. technique using rollers and balls as part of her Pilates instruction

MONDAY Feb 7th, 6.30pm marks the start of a new series of classes - the SIG-Ready series. For the uninitiated, SIG (Special Interest Group) is a special cycling training series run over 8 weeks by the New York Cycle Club. There are several levels, this is not just for aspiring Lance's! Best of all, it's free to members, and membership is just $20 (or thereabouts)/year. 


And so to the class ... thank you again for making the introductory NYCC Yoga/Pilates Sampler for Cyclists a success in January 2011. Judging by the feedback, people found it very interesting and beneficial (OK, we did hand out 85% dark chocolate with the anonymous feedback sheets).

BRING YOUR OWN MAT or ...

• We can provide equipment to rent each time you come - a mat and roller, $1 each (unfortunately they do cost money and they do wear out, have to be cleaned etc)
• MAT: If you like, we can order you one of these clever yoga alignment mats that Lynette recommends (at wholesale + shipping). If you want one, write to us at yogapilatesnyc@gmail.com
• ROLLER: you can rent each lesson, or buy one
• You can store your personal mat and roller at the studio

* YOU set monthly fitness/cycling goals.
* WE will  help you achieve them

Take a look at the space ... 


We are thrilled (truly!) to have found an ideal space. It's freshly painted with a cushy new carpet. More about the studio:
http://yogapilatesnyc.blogspot.com/2011/01/yogapilates-for-cyclists-coming-to.html

It's called the Otello room, because it's also used as a recital and practice space by opera singers. It overlooks the 72nd Street 1/2/3 subway stop on Broadway. Very central and convenient (next door to Trader Joe's).

There's a nook for us to store mats and props, to avoid schlepping.
