As part of the Women’s Festival of Cycling 2021 Cycling UK are offering a series of exciting yoga classes for cyclists of all ages and abilities. This is the first of four sessions and will focus on the spine, neck, lower and middle back.

Whether you’re a roadie or an off-road mountain biker your body is forced into an unnatural unusual position. After spending so much time in the same hunched position the neck, back and chest can all start to feel very tight. As a result of dropped handlebars, the attack position and peering up under your helmet, these areas of the body are often in need of some attention.

In this session we’ll focus on mobilisation to lubricate and free up the back area which should help maintain a better riding posture.
