Social Cycling Austin Yoga Ride
Austin's Tuesday evening ride combining a short no-drop bike cruise with a free hour-long yoga class at Doug Sahm Hill, often followed by a Barton Springs swim.
The vibe
Bikes, stretching, and spring swimming
The Yoga Ride is what happens when two good things get combined without overthinking it. A short no-drop bike ride — about 5 miles, slow enough for everyone — leads to Doug Sahm Hill, where yoga instructors donate their time to run a free hour-long class for the group. In summer, the optional Barton Springs dip afterward turns a Tuesday evening into something that genuinely resets the week.
Social Cycling Austin organized this one as a community-building ride rather than an athletic event. The yoga instructors volunteer their time specifically because they want to connect cyclists with the practice — no strings attached. The cycling portion is short enough that fitness level is irrelevant; the yoga portion is the actual workout if you want it to be.
Tuesday evenings at Doug Sahm Hill — one of Austin’s better urban parks with good views and easy access. Check socialcyclingaustin.bike for the current season schedule and any weather-related changes. The combination of bike, yoga, and optional swimming makes it one of the more interesting recurring rides in the city.
