Workshop - Yoga For Cyclists

Description

How can cyclists benefit from a yoga practice? Some key areas that we can overwork or strain are hamstrings, quadriceps, hips and the lower back. These muscle groups become sore because they are being used for hours in a repetitive motion which can result in injury if not addressed. Yoga poses help open what is contracted. Yoga creates flexibility where there is only strength, which balances the action. Many find relief from muscle pain caused by tightness in the body while practicing yoga. Others have brought spines back into optimal alignment. The work we do on the mat to focus on breath and cultivate a mind body awareness can be transported to the bike to maintain a calm mind and fine tuned clarity.
