For beginning through advanced cyclists and yogis.
What is it about the power of both biking and yoga that transforms you instantly when you begin a ride or step onto your mat? Your senses are enlivened, your awareness clears, and your spirit soars in joy and adventure.
Combining cycling and yoga is about creating a mind-body training lifestyle that is meditative, empowering, and downright fun. Both activities involve natural, fluid movements that require proper alignment, strength, cardiovascular conditioning, and harnessing of your energetic directions. You experience
- Beginner and intermediate rides through some of the most beautiful country roads in New England
- Sacred training: developing a daily and weekly flow for optimal cardiovascular and spiritual health
- How the energetic body cycle determines the nature of the ride
- Prayer wheels: cycling as contemplation, meditation, and empowerment
- Dancing on the pedals with rhythm, power, and flow
- Yoga and the art of bike maintenance.
Through daily Prana Flow® energetic vinyasa and meditation practice before and after each ride, you leave the retreat feeling rejuvenated, balanced, aligned, and relating to your bike as a vehicle of transportation, transformation, and freedom.
Note Bring rain gear, cycling shorts, gloves, and a water bottle. Please inform Registration if you plan to bring your own bike. If you need to rent a bike, please call the Arcadian Shop directly at 413-637-3010 to reserve one.
