Beginners Mountain Biking and Yoga weekend

A weekend tailored for those of you who are just starting your mountain biking journey or are looking to develop more confidence on natural trails. We will show you some basic trailside fixes, what to put in your backpack and give you some tips and tricks for riding off road. The riding will be beginner level but far from boring. Expect a reasonable amount of challenge and of course some fairly decent climbs but don’t worry, we won’t beast you. This weekend is about enjoying some lovely trails in the beautiful, quiet and wild Elan Valley. We want you to leave feeling inspired to get out and ride more wherever you live.

The Yoga.

With a wealth of experience of teaching all different levels of ability and with a bike specific focus Polly’s yoga sessions will both enliven and relax. The morning sessions are dynamic but always start gradually before getting you energised for the day. The post ride sessions are a more relaxing affair with plenty of long held stretches to release any tension in the body from our ride. No previous yoga experience needed.

The Riding.

With the Elan Valley on the doorstep we can ride straight from our venue. Using a combination of cycle path, natural bridleways and tracks both days rides will be suitable for beginners. We will be out for approximately 3-4 hours maximum on both days and will ride through woodland, open moorland and next to the Elan Valley reservoirs.

Non – Yoga partners welcome! If you fancy coming with your partner and he or she doesn’t want to participate in the Yoga that’s fine by us. We can also give more challenging route options for partners to self guide if they want to go big. Get in touch with us if you have any questions.
