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 45-minute class, you'll practice “Supported Warrior 3 Pose”, “Three-Limbed Forward Bend Pose” and “Reclining Hero Pose with One Leg Extended”. In Warrior III, you'll balance on one leg and pay attention to the position of your pelvis. You'll finish by lying down to rest.
Try the 45-minute class alongside your regular sports training.
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.
