HOMETOWN INTRODUCES YOGA CLASS

Now that you’ve tightened those muscles with spinning, let’s loosen them back up with yoga! Hometown Bicycles is serenely jumping for joy about our yoga partnership with Body Within Personal Training. We (Shaun and Dawn) can personally vouch for the life-altering awesomeness of their classes. As Body Within notes:

“Some cyclists use the dark, cold months to hibernate, but this year could be different! Your winter could be used to build strength, flexibility, power and stamina. Taking just one weekly yoga class can give you this, plus make you less injury-prone, promote speedier recovery, reduce stress, and lengthen muscles to give you a longer, more powerful stride.”

Shaun and Dawn – SO there. We’d really love for you to join us! Classes run Tuesday evenings from 7:30 to 8:30, starting December 3rd – ALL levels welcome. The first class is complimentary! If you love it like we do, classes are 4 for $49. Class space is limited, so please pre-register here.

And watching cycling’s future riders tricycle around the kiddie course with grins the size of granny gears gave ALL of us goosebumps of pride.
