Yoga for cyclists class - Roman Rd, E2.

[RichForrest]

This may be of interest to some of you.
I'm not in London myself but got this on the Bikefix newsletter email.

I am starting a yoga for cyclists course/class in
Bethnal Green on September 12th and wondered if you
might be interested in checking it out.

Having cycled regularly for 14 years, practiced yoga
for 11 and taught anatomy & physiology for 5, it made
sense whilst doing my yoga teacher training to bring
all disciplines together. What started off as simply a
written assignment, gradually developed into a
programme specifically designed to help cyclists (for
more info, see below).

The class shall be taking place on Fridays at bodywise
yoga and natural health centre - 119 Roman rd E2 0QN
(nearest tube Bethnal Green) 6 - 7.15pm (not ideal for
CM i know, sorry, for now 'tis the only slot they have
available, i promise to jump in if a different evening
becomes available!)

12 Sept - 10 Oct (5 wks)
17 Oct - 14 Nov (5 wks)
21 Nov - 19 Dec (5 wks)

£44/£28 per course
£11/£8 drop-in
 
These can be booked as 5 week courses or attended as
drop-in classes. As ever, it works out cheaper if
booked as a course and even cheaper if you are a
concession of any kind - student/ unemployed/ oap.

Another class will be starting at brand spanking new
studios currently under construction under arches 481
& 482 in Shoreditch. More about that closer to the
time!

For those of you wondering why I have opted for
studios (which I understand are not the cheapest
option), 'tis because they are fully equipped with
props (many a foam block, straps, bricks etc.) which
will specifically address a cyclists typical physical
shortcomings and will make for safer, swifter and more
satisfying progress. And then if all goes well and
people feel it worthwhile acquiring their own props (i
can get these at cost price for anyone who is
eventually interested), it is still my intention to
seek out alternative spaces and run the classes
cheaper.

Lastly, this class will of course benefit anyone who
is engaged in other physical activities (climbers,
swimmers etc.) or not - so welcome all.

There is bicycle parking available outside bodywise.
Don't be tempted to bring them indoors, believe it or
not, they are probably safer outside!

Sounds interesting and right on my door step too. I wonder if they'll let me sign up? Do you think I'd need to be fully able to cycle before I sign up?
