Yoga for cyclists combines exercises for hip mobility, leg flexibility and core strength. A stable core is important for a comfortable riding position, while mobile hip joints allow your legs to move as you pedal. Strengthening poses alternate with stretches for your legs and back.
In this 20-minute class, you'll practice “Deep Low Lunge”, “Reclining Hero Pose”, and “Bridge Pose”. In Bridge, keep your feet firmly grounded and pay attention to the position of your hips and back. You'll lie down to rest at the end of the class.
Adjust the effort to the length and intensity of your rides. Do not stretch tired muscles through pain, and let how you feel guide you rather than the depth of the pose shown in the video.
