A Postride Yoga Sequence For Indoor-Cycling Addicts

Wednesday, November 19, 2014

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.
