CYCLE
Enjoy a direct beach view while indoor cycling (aka spinning). This mega cardio workout is fun, fat burning, sweat pumping, and fitness building. Fortunately, you control the resistance and manage the intensity on our Schwinn’s Carbon Blue Cycle Bikes. Join us in the morning for a silent-sunrise-cycle. In the afternoon, it’s a music-infused upbeat ride.
SELF-SILENT-CYCLE CLASS
This self-led indoor cycling class is the first daily activity offered on our schedule, in a silent setting overlooking beautiful Leam Sor beach. Tune into your breath or the sounds of nature instead of music, decreasing distraction and increasing your ability to stay in the present moment. The format we recommend is based on H.I.I.T. (High-Intensity Interval Training) principles where each participant determines their own level of intensity. Beginning with a light warm-up and progressing through alternating high and low intervals and winding down with a yoga-inspired cooldown. You will leave feeling energized and ready to start your day.
SAMA-FUN-CYCLE CLASS
This afternoon class, guided by an instructor, is an innovative, beat-based ride designed to build leg strength and power while improving cardiovascular fitness. Music makes it Fun!!
MEDITATION & BREATHWORK
We offer you guided daily meditation and breathwork classes as part of the YogaCoreCycle program. Integral to your overall health is inner peace, mental calm, better focus, and improved awareness.
