ABOUT THE TEACHERS

LYNETTE CHIANG - YOGA FOR CYCLISTS INSTRUCTOR:

Lynette is a certified vinyasa yoga teacher offering an energetic, movement focussed class geared towards cyclists, runners, and anyone who spends too much time sitting in front of a computer (raise your numb hand!).

She's practiced yoga, ballet and Vipassana meditation for more than 20 years. Her cycling background includes pedaling the world solo and self-supported for five years, authoring a New York Times reviewed book, The Handsomest Man in Cuba : a bicycle escapade, single-handedly shooting and creating bicycle adventure films about Route66 and Peru and a 9-year stint as the Customer Evangelist for Bike Friday.

Currently she teaches yoga to private clients, volunteer teaches at Chelsea Recreation Center and introduced yoga at the Hudson Guild Community Center, where she hosted an inspiring presentation by "super senior" members of the New York Cycle Club Five Borough Bike Club.

KARIN FANTUS - YOGA FOR PILATES INSTRUCTOR

Karin teaches how to become stronger and more flexible as we age. Clients come to her with joint issues (ankle/knee/hip/shoulder/back/neck, etc.), which get better as she teaches them how to use their bodies better.

Karin's done PILATES for about 20 years, and been teaching since 2002. She runs a her own, fully-equipped PILATES studio, and teaches at the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan. Once-upon-a-time, Karin was a TV news producer for the major networks and nationally-syndicated shows.

Karin is one of the few Pilates instructors also certified to teach M.E.L.T. (Myofascial Energetic Length Technique). It's a self-help treatment, to release deep-rooted tension throughout the body.

For more years than she cares to mention, Karin's been an avid road cyclist, riding ultra-distance events (Paris-Brest-Paris 1991 & 1999), and crewing for them (Race Across America 1987 & 2003). After 150,000+ miles of cycling, she attributes her healthy knees, back and hips to PILATES.
