Losing power on the bike? 

Build cycling specific strength and mobility with our 8 Week Yoga for Cyclists Programme. (Level 1)  

Will Yoga help my cycling?

Yoga is full of dynamic and static movements that help strengthen all the muscles of the body, including your prime muscles for cycling, increasing stability, improving flexibility, core strength and balance and reducing injury on the bike.

This 8 week Level 1 programme provides the perfect introduction to yoga to help cyclists of all levels develop cycle specific strength and mobility, balanced with promoting effective stretch, release and breathwork.  

Your 8 weeks of structured training will be released weekly on our comprehensive online training platform. Each week you will have two yoga practices to complete as many times as you choose, at your own convenience as we focus on improving your strength, power and endurance on the bike.

"Often when I'm riding for a long time or up to a steep hill I get lower back pain down through my glutes. By the end of the programme, it had released a lot! There was one particular stretch that felt great for my tight glute muscles and I'm including it now in my daily routine."

Why Cyclists Love This

    1. Flexibility and range of motion: particularly in hips, lower back and shoulders will improve as cycling primarily involves repetitive motion causing tightness in these muscles which yoga will ease.

    2. Increase your core strength, including     obliques, and lower back.  A strong core provides stability and better body control when cycling, especially during long endurance rides, intense efforts, climbs, and handling the bike.

    3. Balance and enhanced stability and proprioception: These skills are crucial for cyclists, as they help maintain control over the bike, navigate through challenging terrain, and improve overall coordination.

    4. Relaxation and stress relief: Cycling can be physically demanding and mentally challenging, leading to stress and tension build-up. Yoga incorporates breathing and relaxation exercises that help reduce stress levels, promote relaxation and improve moods.
    5. Injury prevention and recovery: Yoga's emphasis on stretching, strengthening, and balancing the body can help prevent common cycling-related injuries, such as knee pain, lower back discomfort, and tight muscles. Yoga also can assist in the recovery process by increasing blood circulation and reducing inflammation.

    6. Breathing and endurance: Yoga places a strong emphasis on deep, controlled breathing techniques. This can help cyclists to develop better breath control and heart rate stability, which can be highly beneficial during long rides or intense training sessions. Deep, rhythmic breathing helps oxygenate the muscles more efficiently, enhancing endurance and reducing fatigue. Learning to breathe through challenging yoga poses can also help you maintaining composure during difficult steep climbs or sprints.

    7. Mental Resilience:  Cycling can be mentally challenging at times, especially climbing steep hills or long endurance rides. Yoga can help cultivate mental resilience in cyclists by fostering a sense of inner strength, calmness and adaptability by integrating physical movement, breath awareness, and mindful presence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Yoga for Cyclists programme has been designed for entry level yoga practitioners, or those relatively new to the practice. That said, a more experienced practitioner can always benefit from returning to the fundamentals of the practice and will invariably be able to take the pose to a more advanced variation themselves.

To get the most out of this On-Demand programme, there is no specific equipment needed so no reason why you can’t get started straight away. A couple of optional recommendations of nice to haves include the following (Don’t worry if you don’t have or don’t want to purchase, there are always alternatives we recommend such as water bottles and sweat towels):

- An exercise mat, resistance bands and a yoga block.

It's simple: purchase the On-Demand programme and follow the programme at your own pace. Content will be drip fed each week to keep you on track to complete it within the recommended 8 weeks. 

You can complete the practices at any time in the day – although it is good to know that in the morning the body will feel more stiff so take time through the practice to allow the body to warm up.
Vinyasa flow is a good day time practice and restorative is often nice to do in the evening, especially before bed.

There will be 2 classes per week; a vinyasa based ‘strength and movement’ class and a restorative style ‘flexibility’ class that will each be 30-40 minutes in length. These classes can be repeated as many times as you like each week. If you are going to do the sessions more than once a week we recommend you do alternate between the two to see the most benefit.

Each video will break down the steps for each pose and each pose will be demonstrated for you to see. We advise you watch the videos closely if you are unsure about how to accurately do any specific pose or movement. If you are unsure, stop and watch it again. If you feel any pain or discomfort, please do not continue and instead rest in child's pose until the next pose.

This programme has been designed to finish in 8 weeks. We know from experience that life can get busy so we will give you access for an additional 2 weeks- so 10 weeks in total. After this you will lose access. Why do we do this? We are all about getting results and to do that you need to stay consistent and focused with your training. If you miss too many sessions in a row you lose the performance gains and momentum, and you can drop off completely. We want you to have the best chance of success so by removing access after 10 week we want to encourage you to stay on top of your training and stay consistent! 

If you follow the entire programme and all our recommendations – and, most importantly, prove you've done so – and you don't see any improvements, we'll give you 100% of your money back. No strings attached.
