Breathe in. Breathe out.
Treat yourselves to some "me time" on the RuhrtalRadweg!
Breathe in. Breathe out. — Me-Time on the RuhrtalRadweg!
From June through September 2026, there was a special event on the RuhrtalRadweg: During the summer months, yoga sessions led by various instructors took place along the trail on a total of 18 dates.
“Yoga and cycling—what do they have to do with each other?” you might wonder. But we think they go together perfectly!
Whether before, after, or during a bike ride, it’s a chance to find peace in the midst of nature, clear your mind, and recharge.
Many of you had the chance to try this out on the RuhrtalRadweg during the summer months.
All sessions took place outdoors in the open air, and the weather (almost) always cooperated beautifully. You can find some highlights from the sessions here as well as on the RuhrtalRadweg’s Instagram page in the Story Highlights.
Participation in the events was always free of charge. The following studios were on board as providers:
Kanya Yoga Duisburg
Chatur Yoga Essen
Greenspirit Yoga Essen
Mindful Mind Coaching Mülheim
Acro-Yoga Mülheim
Majayoga Schwerte
Yoga Vidya Schwerte
Yoga Erleben Schwerte/Iserlohn
Sampoorna Yoga Wetter
Mountain Yoga Winterberg
Thank you to all the providers and participants—it was a wonderful and active summer along the RuhrtalRadweg!
And for those who missed the event, we’d like to inspire you to try organizing your very own session in nature. Along the RuhrtalRadweg, you’ll find plenty of great spots where you can treat yourself to some “me time.”
Put on your cycling and yoga gear, fill up your water bottle, strap your mat to the bike rack or pack it in your backpack, and off you go!

Schwerte / Iserlohn
Saturday, September 19, 2026, 11:00 a.m., 75 minutes / Yoga at Gutshof Wellenbad
Vinyasa Flow meets Yin Yoga—the final session of Yoga on the RuhrtalRadweg, once again at a different location!
Anne Werner from Yoga erleben will be waiting for you on the lawn of the Montessori School at Gutshof Wellenbad for the final session of our series.
Anne is a certified yoga instructor from Iserlohn-Hennen and combines Vinyasa Flow with Yin Yoga in her classes.
In dynamic Vinyasa Yoga, flowing, powerful asanas (postures) are synchronized with the breath, bringing the mind into the “here and now” through focus on movement and breathing. The emphasis is on strengthening and mobilizing the entire body, especially the back. Exercises to improve balance are also included. The subsequent, gentle Yin Yoga segment focuses on stretching through calm, longer-held asanas, thereby releasing physical and mental tension—often caused by stress. The classes conclude with deep relaxation.
Please bring your own mat. There isspace to park your bikes within sight of the class—the location is a fenced-in area right on the RuhrtalRadweg.
Register via WhatsApp with Anne Werner at 0176 96513006, or alternatively by email at yogalehrerin.anne@gmail.com
Special feature: The students of the Montessori School will be opening their student café on this date. So why not combine your yoga break with a little snack?
Tip: The student café is also open to cyclists every Friday from September 11 to October 16, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
