Yoga for cyclists
In June, Downhill mountain bike rider and yoga instructor,
Karen Burt, ran a specially designed Yoga session for bike babes aimed at
addressing the physical imbalances associated with lots of cycling.
It covered:
 | muscle weaknesses and strengths from cycling |
| best yoga stretches for cycling |
| improving flexibility and improving bike position |
| joints – what is ‘normal’ movement |
| recognising physical and mental limitations |
| using the breath |
| relaxation – the ultimate for recovery |
Following the yoga session, after eating a fantastic lunch, we went on a 2 hour off road ride, followed by some post-ride stretches.
Karen is now travelling in India and so, following on from the success of the day, we are looking to run some regular exercise sessions with a local Yogalates instructor (a mix of pilates and yoga).
