Beryl Bender Birch Power Yoga Sequence
for Cyclists
If you’re a cyclist, you know that a good ride is about more than just pedaling hard. You need to focus on your entire body to get the most out of your bike. A power yoga sequence can help you do just that.
The sequence I’m going to share with you is designed to open up your hips and shoulders, two areas that are crucial for cyclists. It will also help you increase your strength and flexibility, both of which are important for staying safe and performing at your best on the bike.
So, without further ado, here’s the sequence:
1. Cat-Cow Pose
This pose is a great way to open up your hips and spine. Start on your hands and knees, with your hands directly below your shoulders and your knees directly below your hips. Inhale as you lift your head and tailbone up, and look up at your belly. Exhale as you round your spine and tuck your chin, and touch your nose to your mat. Repeat this sequence 10-15 times.
2. Downward-Facing Dog
This pose is a great way to open up your shoulders, hamstrings, and calves. Start in plank pose, with your hands directly below your shoulders and your feet hip-width apart. Exhale as you press your hips back and lift your head and tailbone up, and look down at your feet. Hold this pose for 5-10 breaths.
3. Warrior I
This pose is a great way to increase your strength and flexibility in your hips and thighs. Start in mountain pose, with your feet hip-width apart. Step your left foot back 3-4 feet, and turn your left heel in so that your left toes are pointing to the right. Bend your right knee and extend your arms out to the sides, parallel to the floor. Hold this pose for 5-10 breaths, then switch sides.
4. Half Camel
This pose is a great way to open up your hips and chest. Start in a kneeling position, with your hips stacked over your knees and your hands on your hips. Exhale as you lean back, and reach for your heels with your hands. Keep your head up and your back straight. Hold this pose for 5-10 breaths.
5. Child’s Pose
This pose is a great way to relax your body and mind. Start in a kneeling position, then sit back on your heels and fold your torso forward, extending your arms out in front of you. Let your head fall forward, and relax your hips and shoulders. Stay in this pose for as long as you like.
When you’re finished with the sequence, be sure to drink plenty of water and stretch out any tight muscles. A power yoga sequence like this can help you stay safe and perform at your best on the bike, so be sure to incorporate it into your regular routine.
Back Muscles Yoga Sequence
The back muscles are key for posture and movement. Strengthening them through yoga will help improve your alignment and reduce pain. This sequence targets the muscles along the spine and in the upper and lower back.
Do each pose for five to ten breaths, or longer if you’d like. You can also repeat the sequence a few times.
1. Child’s Pose (Balasana)
This pose is a resting pose that stretches the back muscles and spine.
Start on your hands and knees, then bring your big toes together and sit back on your heels. Spread your knees hip-width apart and lengthen your spine down to the floor. Rest your forehead on the floor, or place a block or bolster under your forehead. Stay here for a few breaths, then release back to hands and knees.
2. Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana)
This pose helps to warm up the back muscles and spine.
Start on your hands and knees, then round your back and tuck your chin to your chest as you inhale. As you exhale, arch your back and look up at the ceiling. Continue moving with your breath, rounding and arching your back as you inhale and exhale.
3. Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)
This pose strengthens the back muscles and stretches the hamstrings and calves.
Start on your hands and knees, then tuck your toes and lift your hips up and back to form an upside-down V shape. Keep your knees slightly bent if needed. Hold for a few breaths, then release back to hands and knees.
4. Camel Pose (Ustrasana)
This pose stretches the back muscles and opens the chest.
Start on your knees with your hands on your hips. As you inhale, lift your chest and reach your hips up and back. Keep your chin tucked and your gaze forward. Hold for a few breaths, then release back to hands and knees.
5. Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana)
This pose strengthens the back muscles and opens the chest.
Start on your back with your feet flat on the floor and your knees bent. Place your hands on the floor beside your hips. As you inhale, press into your feet and lift your hips up off the floor. Keep your chin tucked and your gaze forward. Hold for a few breaths, then release back to the starting position.
6. Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana)
This pose stretches the back muscles and hamstrings.
Sit with your legs straight out in front of you. Flex your feet and reach for your toes. If you can’t reach your toes, reach for your ankles or shins. Hold for a few breaths, then release back to the starting position.
