Meditation in Motion

Soothe your mind... work your body... and set your spirit soaring on this exclusive Ciclismo experience in the Sabina Hills of Italy. Each morning from your "base" in a 15th century palazzo, you'll join a soul-cleansing yoga class. After lunch, hit the road to explore the surrounding countryside. It's a wholly revivifying week for the whole person in you.

Day 1-8 – Sabine Hills
In the heart of the Sabine Hills—less than an hour from Rome—lies a peaceful haven surrounded by magnificent views, lush gardens, a natural spring, a pond and a swimming pool. At this peaceful, rustic setting, ideal for spiritual practice, we’ll begin each day with a yoga class, designed especially for the needs of the group by our expert instructor. Then, we'll embark on spectacular daily loops and hikes through olive groves, woodlands and rolling hills to hot sulfur springs, medieval sites and local festivals. We’ll swim in nearby rivers and springs and spin to Umbrian towns—then return for daily yoga practice that explores yoga as an enhancement to cycling. This restorative class will include some meditation. By incorporating breathing, cycling-specific yoga poses and relaxation techniques, we’ll improve our performance both on the road and beyond.
