This four-class series will help road racers, track-day riders, long distance tourers, and off-road enthusiasts prepare for the riding season. Each class will focus on the flexibility and stability you need to ride comfortably and safely. We will address the suppleness and strength needed in specific areas such as the shoulders and upper back, hamstrings and quadriceps, and hips and lower back, as well as techniques for relieving fatigue and muscle stiffness after a long day on the track, road, or trail.

In each class we will also practice breath work, which helps us to focus and be aware of how our bodies are performing, as well as recognize when fatigue or adrenaline is affecting our reflexes and judgment.

No yoga experience or special equipment is necessary. You may bring your own yoga mat or use one of the studio’s mats. Wear comfortable clothes that you can move in easily.

Bill Ancker has practiced yoga for 30 years and ridden street bikes for 10. He is a Registered Yoga Teacher (500 RYT) of

Yoga Alliance. His approach to yoga is based on the “technology of yoga.” In other words, if you practice yoga, you can enjoy greater physical and emotional well-being; belief in any particular philosophy is not required.

Mesha Starkey has practiced yoga since her teens and completed the HDY 200 & 300 hour Teacher Trainings. After 10 years of riding, Mesha values the feelings of freedom and peace that both yoga and motorcycle riding offer and loves how yoga has allowed her to enjoy taking long “iron-ass” rides!
