Yoga for Cyclists @ ABC

I picked this up from the ABC and Faster Mustache sites, write-up from the ABC.

Yoga for Cyclists

As bicyclists, we sometimes neglect stretching and weight training in favor of more miles on the bike. Yoga has the potential to enhance the ride with increased flexibility and core strength, so beginning in 2011 ABC will host a weekly "yoga for cyclists" class every Thursday from 6-7 pm. The instructor, Alyson Laura, is an avid cyclist herself, a member of the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition since 2008, and has lived car-free in Atlanta since 2006. As an added benefit, ABC members will receive one free class per month! Alyson began her yoga practice in 2008. In December of 2010, she completed the 200-hour Yoga Alliance Registered Teacher Training at the Nirvana Yoga Studio in Grant Park with Leigh Anne Neal. Her teaching style integrates Hatha, Ashtanga, and Yin postures into a creative Vinyasa flow. As a cyclist and yogi, Alyson is deeply committed to well-being of body and mind as a vehicle for success in every-day life. Classes at the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition will be accessible to all levels of students, from beginners to advanced. Postures will focus on cycling specific body areas and lifestyle issues. If you share a passion for yoga or cycling (hopefully both) this class is for you! The class fee of $10 (payable in cash or check at the class start) will partly benefit the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition, so you can support better biking while getting your yoga on. We are seeking donated gently used yoga mats, but for now please plan on bringing your own mat to the class.
