If you're hooked on Flywheel, SoulCycle,
or any of the many other indoor-cycling offerings, we don't blame you!
But if you've wanted the quick stretch session at the end of a class to
last longer, this is the yoga sequence you've been waiting for. Give
your hard-worked muscles some love — and help prevent injury — with this
short postride yoga sequence. Your whole body will reap the benefits,
but extraspecial attention is given to the quads, hips, hamstrings, and
core.
- Once you've completed your second Warrior 2, step your feet together at the top of your mat for a quick Mountain Pose.
- Inhale and reach your arms over above you, gazing up toward your thumbs, and keeping your tailbone tucked to protect your lower back from strain.
- As you exhale, engage your abs and fold forward with a straight back, releasing into a Standing Forward Bend.
- Tuck your chin in toward your chest, straighten your legs as much as possible, and shift weight forward into your toes.
