Yoga is fast becoming an essential performance tool for road cyclists

keen to improve flexibility, core strength, balance, breathing

efficiency and mental focus. Most cyclists want to ride

harder for longer but 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.

But a cyclist with

a supple back, hips and hamstrings will not only be far less prone to

overuse injuries than his stiffer training partners. He can also hunker down into aerodynamic positions easily and ride for longer, with more

comfort. A cyclist able to breathe slower and deeper will breathe more

efficiently and economically. A cyclist able to reduce adrenaline and

control a scattered mind with concentration techniques will remain calm

and focused in the heat of a race.

Yoga for Cyclists

will be the first title to address all of these areas by adapting yoga

techniques specifically for cyclists of all levels, in clear, concise chapters. This is the ideal, no-nonsense resource, where every stretch, strengthening posture, breathing or recovery technique relates back to its impact on performance.
