An Iyengar yoga sequence - Great cross training

A Iyengar  yoga sequence is a great low-impact way to cross training. Cross training is necessary for athletes who do the same sport or exercise routine year-round. Adding new exercises or stretching can help reduce injury, relieve training boredom, reduce lower back pain, add variety and help recover from hard aerobic or strength workouts. Yoga can be done at a high or low intensity and there are hundreds of postures that can provide a workout for any athletic need.

Iyengar yoga for cyclist- Increase muscle flexibility and range of motion reduce lower back pain.

Iyengar yoga classes incorporate slow, steady stretching exercise that is ideal for cyclist. Frequent yoga training may increase flexibility, and range of motion while relieving muscle tension. Whether you are a runner or a cyclist, an improved range of motion can often help improve muscle performance.  Yoga teachers can provide you with the correct tools.

An Iyengar yoga sequence for cyclist - Develop deep, relaxed breathing 

If you participate competitively in cycling events or simply join the occasional fun run on a whim you are aware of the impact breathing can have on performance. Deep, relaxed breathing is the foundation of reducing performance anxiety and improving concentration. An Iyengar yoga teacher will help you develop a habit of breathing efficiently.  Cycling & Iyengar Yoga classes are a great match.

An Iyengar yoga sequence for cyclist - improve balance

Iyengar yoga classes are a perfect way to incorporate stretching exercises into your cycling routine. Stretching  exercises are often overlooked by cyclist, but are one of the most effective ways to correct muscle imbalance or body mechanic problems. With most sports and weight training routines you tend to perform repetitive motions that develop some muscle groups while others are ignored. Iyengar yoga classes can fix these imbalances.
