Yin Yoga For Bikers & Cyclists
by Alicia Rose
Inspired by my body's desire for restorative yin poses after extended periods of cycling, this practice was designed to relieve muscle tightness & promote better flexibility. Cyclists & bikers frequently encounter tightness in the hamstrings, quadriceps, glutes, & calf muscles. This practice includes extended holds in a series of nourishing yin postures. Yin yoga focuses on passive stretches that target the deeper connective tissues, thereby aiding in muscle recovery & helping to reduce tension & stress in the body. Other benefits of this practice may include reduced stress & anxiety, improved circulation, & general relaxation. While this class was specifically created with cyclists in mind, it may be of benefit to anyone seeking a restorative & gentle practice. Because this track utilizes extended holds in postures, it may be better suited for those who have some prior experience with yoga. For the practice, you'll want to use a yoga mat & have a light blanket nearby.
