One of my favorite yearly traditions over the holidays is to teach a Winter Solstice ride using songs from our bucket playlist on the theme of lights. Here is my most recent version of Shari Miranda’s Winter Solstice theme profile…plus Shari’s updated version of her profile as well! We both use some of the same songs, but we do different things to the songs; this way, you can choose which choreography you prefer! Be sure to download both versions. Read more…
