-----------------------------------------

"If life were to come with a manual, this in my opinion would be it! If we all applied the Inner Engineering technology, our world would instantly transform to exist from a foundation of peace, joy, and compassion for all beings." -Evita Ochel

For all of the strides we have made in science and technology with standards of living unimaginable a century ago, most human beings still remain in search of wholeness and purpose in their lives. Inner Engineering is scientifically-structured to offer powerful processes from the ancient tradition of yoga to transcend the limitations of who you are and bring you to higher levels of consciousness. Inner Engineering was designed by Sadhguru, a yogi, visionary, and one the foremost authorities on yoga as a powerful tool to create your life the way you want it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUeyqLTsGJs

Sadhguru & Deepak Chopra— Creating Inner Peace, Joy and Fulfillment in a Hectic Modern World

"The word 'yoga' means union, that means you experience the entire universe as yourself...by working with the body, by working with the mind, by working with your emotion and energy, you can setup a step-by- step system within yourself where your energies are kept at such a level of exuberance that your sensory body is as large as the universe...Once you experience everybody around you as yourself... your goodness is a consequence, not an effort."

https://youtu.be/WMhJgdpj1d0

About Sadhguru—Sadhguru is a realized yogi and mystic – a man whose passion spills into everything he encounters. With a keen mind, balanced by a heart that knows no boundary, his presence and powerful yoga programs create an extraordinary opportunity to break through limitations into one’s natural state of freedom, love and joy.

Sadhguru has a unique ability to make the ancient science of yoga relevant to contemporary minds. Sadhguru serves as a bridge to the deeper dimensions of life. His approach does not ascribe to any belief system, but offers methods for self-transformation that are both proven and powerful.

An author, poet and internationally renowned speaker, Sadhguru’s wit and piercing logic provoke and broaden our thoughts and perception of the meaning of life, the very purpose of life. Sadhguru has been an influential voice at major global forums including the UN, MIT, TED, and the World Economic Forum.

Sadhguru established Isha Foundation, a non-profit organization supported by over two million volunteers worldwide. From powerful yoga programs and meditation practices to large-scale humanitarian projects, the foundation’s activities are designed to create an inclusive culture and establish global harmony, earning a special consultative status with the United Nations.

Sadhguru at Emory University— "Consciousness and living well are not in conflict with each other... "

Take a Deeper Step...Create a Life of Total Wellbeing—

“Inner Engineering is neither a religion, nor a philosophy or dogma. It is a technology for wellbeing. One does not have to believe or disbelieve--just have to learn to use... Technology will produce results irrespective of who you are.” –Sadhguru

Inner Engineering is a 7-session online course that gives you the opportunity to intellectually explore the ABC’s of life using methods that are the distilled essence of yogic sciences. The course imparts practical wisdom to manage your body, mind, emotions, and the fundamental life energy within.

Program components include:

• Enlightening interactive sessions

• Guided meditations

• Asanas, simple yoga postures.

• Shambhavi Mahamudra, a powerful , 21-minute inner-energy technique that brings your entire system into alignment so that your body, mind, emotions and energies function in harmony.

York Bicycling

York, PA

York Bicycling is NOT a cycling club. But it IS an on-line site for local cyclists to find and organize group rides in the York County Pennsylvania and surrounding area. So there are no dues, no obligations and no boring meetings to attend! Just open group rides! Ride descriptions have moved! Please keep scrolling for ride description details. This page is not affiliated with any one person, club or bike shop, though individuals, clubs and bike shops are encouraged to post rides. Our goal is that eventually all open rides in York County Pennsylvania and the surrounding areas will be posted here. This Meet-Up site is accessible to all who enjoy the social interaction of group rides and endorse the idea of "The More the Merrier" when it comes to riding bikes. We also have a Facebook page for all of the chitter-chatter that cyclists like to engage in when they aren't cycling. Please join if Facebook is your thing by using the link on at the bottom of this home page. **Ride Descriptions:** When posting rides, please include the planned distance, the terrain profile (flat, rolling or hilly) and the ride "pace" information as below. If you are looking to join a ride, the descriptions below should help you find an appropriate ride. When joining a ride, it is important that your skill and fitness level matches the announced ride profile, not only for your own enjoyment but for the enjoyment of the rest of the ride attendees. Read the ride description, and if in doubt, ask the ride organizer for clarification. "D" ride - Usually 10 - 11 MPH average speed on flat or gently rolling terrain. A "D" ride is usually appropriate for entry level riders, casual riders or those returning to riding after a long break. "D" rides are generally good for riders on hybrid bicycles. A "D" ride may be a road or rail trail ride. Check the description of the individual ride for clarification. "C" ride - Usually 12 - 13 MPH average speed. Typically a flat or rolling road ride, though a "C" ride may be hilly in parts of York County so check out the description of the ride. A "C" ride is a step up from entry level and most riders should be mounted on road bikes. If you are a "B" or "A" rider joining a "C" ride, something other than a road bike may be appropriate, but otherwise a skinny-tired bike is recommended. Check the description of the individual ride for clarification. "B" ride - 14 -17 MPH average road ride depending upon the terrain profile. Hilly rides will be slower, flat ones faster. A "B" ride is usually somewhat competitive in spurts, but social between bursts of activity. Riders should be mounted on road bikes with road tires. A "B" ride in hillier parts of the county can be quite challenging, so check the individual ride description for clarification. "A" ride - 17+ MPH average. "A" rides are usually geared towards racers or wanna-be racers on road bikes. Plan on working hard for the whole distance and ending with a 17-20+ MPH average depending on the hilliness of the ride. A "no mercy" attitude is the norm. Make sure you are *easily* doing B rides before attending a ride announced as an A ride.
