Yoga for bicyclists . . . in the Barrio!
My friend Alexis just sent me this announcement:
Yoga for BicyclistsThursdays 6-7 pmStarts July 9, 2009Cost is $75 for the 8 week seriesSOUTHERN ARIZONA SCHOOL OF YOGA267 South Stone Avenue | Tucson 85701This class will teach classical yoga postures and breathing techniques, taught with an emphasis on specific issues frequently encountered by recreational and competitive cyclists, including shoulder, neck and upper-back tension, imbalances of the lumbo-sacral spine, and knee pain/injury.The course includes standing poses, seated poses, forward bends, back bends, inversions and restorative postures.
Alexis’s studio is on Stone Avenue across from the Police Station. She has a very bike friendly yoga studio (she has not owned a car in years) and sometimes you will even see her Mercurio Cargo Bike parked outside (because it doesn’t fit in the door).
If you have ever wondered about classical yoga and what it might offer you, Alexis’s introductory courses like this one are a good way to test the waters. She doesn’t expect you to know anything when you start and she puts great emphasis on getting the poses right.
