The Heartful Ride
poem
No past, no future
Only the spinning of your wheels
The rhythm of your breath
And the beat of your heart
Cycling your heart out
Each route a reminder
Digging deep into your soul
And the end destination?
Your true self

Hi I'm SarahFounder, author and Heartful Cycling guide
I created this 7 day journey during a time when I was longing for deeper connection and heart-centred community. Maya, my dog became my anchor, keeping me grounded and present as I found a slower, more intentional path. Through riding heart-shaped routes I felt inspired to create a space to help you to expand your compassion, and connect more deeply with life, and your heart. |
FAQs
Is this an online journey?
It's completely self-paced and online, so you can begin wherever you are in the world. Some people like to join the energy of the community by starting every Monday with me and Maya, while others move through at their own pace.
What is Heartful Cycling?
Heartful Cycling guides you to create heart-shaped routes, both on a map and within, to reconnect with your true self. It's about slowing down, finding balance, and returning home to your heart.
Each journey becomes a moving meditation, a reflection of your inner world. Through mindful breathing, journaling and gentle visualisation, you follow your own unique heart map, one that's filled with compassion, creativity and deep connection.
Listen to my podcast episode to hear the full story.
Do I need to cycle my heart route?
No, it's optional, you don't need a bike or to even cycle your route. You can walk, run, or simply just imagine your heart-route. Heartful Cycling is about the journey within. The aim is to reconnect with your breath, your creativity, your heart, and follow your own rhythm.
How big does my heart route need to be?
It can be as small or as long as you with. What matters is the intention behind it, not the distance, but the meaning. Every heart route carries it's own unique mark.
What happens after I complete the 7 day journey?
The good news is, the path of the heart has no finish line. Each time you return, you'll meet a calmer, clearer version of yourself. Repeat this 7 day journey whenever you need to find your balance again. Your heart will always be here, waiting to guide you home. You can also share you journey reflections and heart maps to inspire others. Every story helps to grow a more heartful, connected world.
Who's this journey for?
Anyone seeking more calm, balance and clarity through presence and self-compassion, instead of pushing or performance. It's for people who are learning to trust their inner rhythm more deeply, deep feelers and quiet dreamers who maybe give so much to others and are ready to reconnect with themselves.
What are the 3 values of being a Heartful Cyclist?
Compassion, Creativity and Community are the 3 core values of the Cycle Your Heart Out movement. If they resonate, this journey was made for you!
○ Compassion - You long to pause, slow down, and trust your heart to guide you. You know when you care for yourself, your love naturally flows to others.
○ Creativity - You feel called to express yourself through movement, or by creating your own heart route. You have ideas or projects within you wanting to come to life.
○ Community - You seek belonging without the noise of constant notifications. You take comfort knowing your heart is part of a quiet ripple of connection shared by others around the world.
Your wheels are your paint, the world is your canvas

"This was a beautiful journey inwards! I can honestly say your meditations helped me through a rough week and taught me how to manage my anxiety and stress. I loved waking up early to listen first thing, the visualisations were inviting and I always looked forward to the next one. I used to struggle to take time for myself and now I plan to make this a daily habit, I feel proud to be looking after myself consistently. For those who have an on and off relationship with meditation, this 7 day journey is a treat!"

“Sarah's meditations are very calming and I liked the variety of focusing on a different breathing technique for each day. I found these beneficial due to my asthma, and it also helped me to manage my energy and stress levels. I'm hoping to realise the full benefits by continuing with these techniques. I've already created a heart-shaped route in Mallorca and am looking forward to cycling it"!

"I really enjoyed the cycling theme as a metaphor for a journey in motion. Your course helped me to manage my stress, learn a new skill and build healthier habits. Your voice is very calming and enabled me to engage with the breathing exercises with an open mind. The visualisation embedded into the experience was fantastic, I could really picture myself in each location, especially at the festival and on the top of the mountain. I liked travelling to a new destination and how each day linked, but had it's own experience.
It was great how the sessions varied in technique and length and was able to get into the rhythm and flow quickly. Each one had deep meaning and allowed the creative space to work with my own thoughts as well as following the structure of the session".

“As a lifelong cyclist I naturally resonated with the cycling theme, and it gave me an unusual but effective angle to connect with the meditations. Before I started I felt very overwhelmed and was in a hectic headspace. Sarah’s meditations helped me to manage my anxiety more effectively and I really liked that I was able to listen to them while riding my bike. I enjoyed learning the 7 different breathing practices and now feel confident to practice them on my own whenever I feel overwhelmed. I think repeated use of these guided meditations will help me to continue to reduce any negativity I feel over time".

“Sarah's meditations are so calming and beautiful and by the end of the week I noticed I felt less stressed and overwhelmed. I really enjoyed how it took you on a guided journey and then allowed you to also incorporate a breath practise into such a short amount of time. It felt very unique and refreshing and added a playful calming element to meditation. I felt a strong connection to nature when I listened to them and I liked the visualisation of the mountain and seeing yourself a year away".

“Thank you! Your meditations helped me to manage my emotions during PMS, and really helped me in a moment of need. I now feel calmer and more able to manage my stress and anxiety. I love that I can revert to them to remind myself to breath and take a moment for myself. It's also motivated me to take 10 minutes before bed to journal or meditate to help me sleep. If other people are struggling to manage their emotions, I'd recommend they sign up!"

"The timing for taking Sarah’s ride meditation was very helpful as I needed an extra relaxation technique for during and after my operation. Before starting I felt anxious and worried. It really helped me to unwind, chill and feel more relaxed. Listening to them also helped me with my confidence, self-worth and feeling more at home within my body. I love what Cycle Your Heart Out is doing and how it's creating a greener and sustainable way of living. I enjoyed cycling my heart shaped ride and found that creating my own affirmations really helped me to focus, move forward & make clearer decisions for myself. I’d recommend this to others as I liked that it was self-paced and very gentle".
