The missing key to unlocking your cycling potential.


Yoga can help cyclists in a number of ways: it builds strength, improves flexibility and develops efficient breathing. Other benefits include improved focus, tension-free cycling, optimised recovery and fewer injuries.

 

Most cyclists will know that the unnatural slouched posture and repetitive nature of riding takes its toll on the body. Short, tight hamstrings, hip flexors and quadriceps are easily damaged and, over time, can cause knock-on problems in the lower back or knees.

 

By tailoring the core principles of Yoga to cycling, Lexie Williams can turn you into a cyclist with a supple back, hips and hamstrings. You will be able to hunker down into more aerodynamic positions, as well as being far less prone to overuse injury. This book also explores breathing and concentration techniques to enable you to breath slower and deeper, reduce adrenaline, and control a scattered mind to remain calm and focused in the heat of a race.

 

Yoga for Cyclists  adapts yoga techniques for cyclists of all levels making it suitable for everyone from the beginner to the Tour de Francehopeful.

 

This is the ideal, no-nonsense resource, where every stretch, strengthening posture, breathing or recovery technique relates back to its impact on performance.
