Cycling To Gilbert Yoga

 As gas prices rise and we find ourselves enjoying the sweetness of spring before the sizzling Arizona summer, envision yourself biking to your next class at Gilbert Yoga.  

The Town of Gilbert’s Central Trail System features 54 miles of marked bike trails that run along canals. Three trails—Heritage Trail, Santan Vista Trail, and Marathon Trail--run north-south in the overarching system along with one east-west trail (Western Powerline Trail). The trails run adjacent to parks, with each their own oasis; shade under ramadas, drinking fountains, and a myriad of recreational features are found at each pit stop. 

Each trail is multi-use so be aware of trail etiquette. The largest, slowest, and least-predictable creatures have the right of way; bikers yield to walking pedestrians who all yield to horses. The concrete slab paths are ten feet wide, and traffic lights control oncoming cars where you must cross major streets. 

In front of the studio, you will find bike racks where we encourage you to lock your bikes while you practice. 
​
Arizona summer heat can be a danger for susceptible individuals. Please, please, please acclimate yourself slowly and with awareness. We each experience temperature differently depending on several factors that contribute to overall thermal comfort: clothing insulation, metabolism, and acclimation to name a few. Drink plenty of water and eat your water in the form of structured water (cucumber, melon, and more). Plan your route (see the map and resources below). Try a morning yoga class to beat the hot temperatures later in the day while simultaneously ushering in peace to the powerful early hours of a new day:

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Heather Promise holds Sunrise Yoga from 6-7:10 A.M.
On Wednesdays, Victoria Minnick holds Power Vinyasa Flow from 7-8:10 A.M.

And finally, enjoy the ride….🚴
