Yoga/Pilates for Cyclists: The SIG approacheth

Lynette has not had a hot dog like this in decades.
Annaline will probably tell you now many of these some
famous hedgefunders eat onone of her Wall Street Walks.

No, it's not a vegan hot dog ...

.. but someone was so hungry after the last class that they made a beeline for Gray's Papaya across the street, and throwing our better, yogic selves to the winds, we all tagged along! What was wrong with taking a few steps to the left and getting some Trader Joe's Trail Mix instead? 

"It's been here for years, it can't be that bad," was the reply all around. Indeed, perhaps it's the very strange combo of papaya, one of my utterly favorite fruits, that counters the mystery meat of the famous GP dog...

NEW MARCH YOGA/PILATES SCHEDULE

How's your SIG prep going? Your "Yolatis" classmates are getting in great shape.

Because we're competing for others for the studio space, the schedule for March is as follows:

Wednesday/ March 8 & 16
Monday/March 23 & 30

All classes are 6:30 - 8:00pm. 
Starting April, it'll be MONDAY's again, all the way.  Monday is an ideal day to work out kinks after tough weekends of early-season riding, n'est-ce pas?

COST: 
$75 for the 4-week series (cash, check or Paypal) payable by the first session. 

Single sessions are $20 (cash, check, $22 by Paypal) - if there's room. 

This arrangement makes it possible for us to cover our overhead (studio rental, mats, MELT rollers, etc). Please bring a towel, large enough to cover a mat. A lightweight camping towel is ideal - it's small and dries fast. 


The class is limited to 10 people, so please let us know your intentions asap.

NYCC RAAM evening, Tue March 8

The SIGs will go a long way (well, a bit of the way), to getting you in shape for Race Across America, NYCC's Tue March 8 meet is all about RAAM by someone who did it.  I may be able to make it after teaching my volunteer yoga class at Chelsea Rec. I did a lot of work with the RAAM legend and founder, Lon Haldeman in my previous gig with Bike Friday.  I totally recommend watching the RAAM movies, particularly the lesser known 2004 edition where the late Juri Robic first won it. I think you can buy them from the Race Across America store.  - Lynette

PILATES: APPROACHING A BUMP IN THE ROAD

A bit of a flashback to the Sampler Class in January, wup aith Karin talking about who to do with your shoulders and neck when you're out riding and see a hole in the road up ahead ...

YOGA: ANDREW TANNER of YOGANESH 

We're not planning to attempt Peacock Feather Pose (although it just takes a little more practice) but here's a inspiring little clip of one of my favorite yoga teachers, Andrew Tanner at Yoganesh. It's the most affordable yoga studio I've come across in NYC (apart from my free class at Chelsea Rec)  all classes are a flat $10. And ... Friday at 6.45pm is a Yoga for Runners class - see you there!
