Five Rivers MetroParks and PracticeYOGA with the help of GO W/ THE FLOW founders Ben Rivet and Tori Reynolds are starting this years National Bike Week off with an ohm.

GO W/ THE FLOW, a unique music and yoga experience, will take over RiverScape on Tuesday, May 14 at 6 p.m. for an evening of free yoga, raffles and prizes. Tom Helbig, special events and development coordinator of Five Rivers MetroParks said its the perfect way to get the mind body and soul ready for a week of biking.

GWTF Bike Week brings together people from throughout the area who care about their wellness, our parks and, maybe most of all, our sense of community, said Kathi Kizirnis, an Experience Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT) and co-owner and director of PracticeYOGA. Its fun, energizing, informative and a great way to connect with the energy thats building downtown.

Meditation will meet music at the GO W/ THE FLOW event. Rivet will play acoustic guitar while Reynolds teaches the class. The duo toured the U.S. and Canada last summer, leading more than 100 classes, demonstrations at yoga studios and festivals.

Kizirnis said anyone can participate in the GO W/ THE FLOW class.

We encourage those with no yoga experience to take it easy, do what they can and have fun. Last year we saw experienced yogis, total beginners, kids and kids-at-heart all ages!

Practice Yoga will have a limited number of mats available, but participants are asked to bring their own. Bicycling to the event is also encouraged and free valet parking will be provided for bikers.

Those who dont want to practice their downward dog pose are welcome to come get information on MetroParks and Bike Week, and enjoy the park, the music and group energy, said Kizirnis.

Its an opportunity to do outdoor yoga in downtown Dayton with a huge crowd, said Helbig. Last year we had 237 people. To be able to feed off of the energy of that kind of crowd in an urban environment is a pretty unique experience.

The event is at RiverScape MetroPark 111 E. Monument Avenue, Dayton. Tickets are free. For more information, contact Practice Yoga at 937-321-7676 or visit http://www.practiceyogadayton.com. For more information on GO W/ THE FLOW, visit gowtheflow.org

Yoga, biking part of RiverScape event

Is it a tablet? A laptop? It's a nifty mix of both, but you'll have to decide if Windows RT is where you want to hang your hat.

The 360-degree Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11 looks especially cool in orange -- but, alas, this deal is for the silver/gray model.

An ultrabook ultraportable PC priced at $549 must be considered, especially if it's a convertible -- a system with both a keyboard and a touch screen, the latter able to swing a full 360 degrees into tablet mode.

And I'd say no convertible has received more press than the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga, which was rightly celebrated for its slick design -- if not its operating system.

Update: I tweaked the headline to reflect that the Yoga isn't technically an ultrabook, which is Intel's designation for a system with a particular set of specs.

For a limited time, and while supplies last, Lenovo has the IdeaPad Yoga 11 convertible laptop for $549 shipped when you apply coupon code YOGA11DEAL at checkout. (Sales tax may also apply.)

The key thing you need to know: the Yoga 11 runs Windows RT. For those unfamiliar with the distinction, RT is basically an apps-only version of Windows 8. There's no Desktop mode, no way to run legacy software. Of course, an iPad won't run old Windows programs, either -- and it doesn't have a physical keyboard.

What's more, the Yoga comes with the full version of Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013, so it does offer at least that much traditional laptop productivity.

Other important specs include an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable flash storage, and an 11.6-inch multitouch screen. The system measures 11.7 inches by 8 inches by 0.7 inch, so it's definitely ultrabook-slim, and weighs a scant 2.8 pounds. That's heavy for a tablet, but quite light for a laptop.

And, as you're no doubt aware, the Yoga can be both. In fact, its 360-degree hinge allows for not only tablet and laptop modes, but also "tent" and "stand." Those are pretty nice for things like watching movies and using the system on a kitchen counter.
