Riding makes me …
Riding makes me pretty stiff all over — especially my upper and lower back and shoulders. This will help, I’m sure. My climbing skills stink too, so if there’s something you can recommend for that, I’ll take it. Also, how often do you recommend this workout for cycling. Thanks!

I would recommend …
I would recommend doing it after every ride. Anytime you work muscles, and then don’t stretch, you’re more likely to cool down with tighter muscles, which can lead to injury and less range of motion. Even busting out the pigeon pose in this video is good. I will do more for shoulders and back soon!!
peace,
Sadie

I’ve just given this a go after a short intense cycle. My legs are no longer stiff, and they feel very light. Also, my core feels very calm.
Thank you for this.

Sadie, many thanks for all your guides, there seems to be something for everyone, at every level.
Wonderful stuff and I am hoping this will help my recovery from years of cycling without stretching.

I bet it will:) The body loves to stretch properly, so you may be surprised at how fast it opens up. Keep in touch about it!
Inquiring yogis want to know.

Sadly Sadie,its already taking a little longer than I would like as i have suffered 2 bouts of sciatica this year …. hence the desire/need to do something about it.
Thanks for taking the time to reply to all our comments too.

Hi Bob,
thanks for replying to my comments too…yoga’s best when it’s a conversation!
OW. Sciatica is so bad. I know–I had it severely for years, then erased it through yoga.
It comes in part from the tight piriformis muscle, which you’ll be targeting a ton in this workout. Do the Magic Pose [Pigeon] after every workout you do or hot shower you take …and you will reduce your sciatic pain BIG time.
good luck!
Sadie

I roadrace bikes and during the season I have developed a pain of the left side of the psoas, right at the front of my left upper leg. The discomfort has been felt only when sitting for a few hours while at work. Regardless, the tightness of the muscle, the locking feeling has been forcing me to adjust the way I seat on a chair, hence back pain. This long introduction, just to thank you, because I have been practicing your stretching and I have noticed a big improvement. Thank you again

Sadie,not long ago …
Sadie,not long ago your videos and comments really helped me sort out my lower back sciatica issues (mostly from cycling). However, I am experiencing upper left shoulder discomfort which has resulted in numb/tingling in left hand first finger and thumb. Could you recommend stretching to focus on this upper left (and right) shoulder/back please.
(PS this may have been caused by a new bike (thus new riding position)
Many thanks in anticipation of your time in replying.
thanks

Lovely–the pigeon pose will really help your psoas tension, so do it a couple of times per day.
Thanks for sharing! xoSadie

Hi Bob,

Hi Bob,
This sounds like you’re pinching a nerve due to tight shoulder muscles. warm up first with a few Core Sun Salutations, then do my video for Shoulder Opener Practice, and also do Eagle Pose arms, rounding your back, dropping chin to chest and breathing into the space between your shoulder blades. Let me know if this helps! Sadie
