Yoga for Cyclists at Wheelbase Yorkshire

We hosted our first ever in-store Yoga for Cyclists class last week with SJ Yoga Wellbeing. The class was held at Wheelbase Yorkshire in Ilkley on Friday evening and was very well attended; there wasn’t a free mat in the house.

The benefits of yoga for cyclists are extensive. The mix of restorative and challenging poses helps to stretch and lengthen muscles as well as developing and building strength and flexibility. Cyclists often suffer from tight glutes, hamstrings, shoulders and backs and SJ’s class was tailored to loosen up these areas and restore them to a more natural position.

Yoga can help improve positioning on the bike by strengthening the core and can also be incredibly beneficial for endurance athletes in terms of breathing control.

We will be hosting a follow up class in the not too distant future. Watch this space.
