Cy-Yo

Cy-Yo If you think that the idea of combining two different activities such as cycling and Yoga is absurd, think again. Curt Dalton, a fitness instructor who is certified in Yoga and indoor cycling, created Cy-Yo, a new, holistic, and evolutionary approach to physical fitness and over-all wellness.

Cy-Yo, or Cycle/Yoga, is a one-hour holistic cardio workout that helps bring all the aspects of our being into focus to achieve optimal physical and spiritual results. A Cy-Yo class begins with a 10-minute Yoga flow focused on energizing the muscles, lubricating and warming the joint structures, and bringing awareness to the mind/body energy centers. Following the 10-minute Yoga warm up is a 40-minute indoor cycling class. During the cycling class particular attention is paid to our energy centers, our visualization techniques, and our breathing patterns. Releasing negative energy, detoxifying our bodies, and increasing our higher energy fields are key aspects in achieving optimal physical performance in this phase of the workout. A 10-minute Yoga flow is done immediately following the cycling class in order to refocus our minds, calm our bodies, and create a positive energy flow in our bodies.

As we all know, exercise programs which are developed in the West concentrate on improving the physical aspects such as muscle toning, resistance training systems, and body mechanic. On the other hand, Yoga practice focuses on slow movements, proper breathing, and exercises. Cy-Yo gives you the best of both worlds. In just one hour, Cy-Yo allows you to experience the typical fitness program of the West and the East's ancient practice of uniting the body, mind, and spirit.

Cy-Yo can be done by almost everybody, regardless of age, sex, or lifestyle. To make it more fun and enjoyable to do, Dalton includes music in his classes, depending on what he thinks is the musical preference of those who are attending the session.


So if you are looking for a different kind of exercise program that bridges the gap between the spiritual and holistic approach of Yoga and the fitness workout that focuses on the physical aspect, then Cy-Yo is for you. For more information, check out www.cy-yo.com.
