Thank you Adrienne! You've helped me lose 20 pounds and I feel AMAZING! I'm 54, I've been with you for almost a year. I'm in I fell much better than when I was doing Nautilus, or Zumba. I'm in better shape now than I was in my 20's so.........thank you XOXO

Wow … I just turned 60 … found this video and noticed the first comment was from a fellow ‘newly minted’ sexagenarian … I love these movements … I will be racing tomorrow …. Not sure what will happen but I’m going in with far less stress b/c of this session !!

[@scottreno8777]

Hi Adriene, I have been cycling for decades. I recently turned 60. Even though my weight has remained, essentially, the same for the last 20 years, my average speed while cycling has declined and climbing hills has gotten harder. Until recently that is. I have been doing your Yoga For Cyclists practice (as well as others) for the last 7 months. In that time my average speed has increased from around 13 MPH to just over 16 MPH! Climbing is still tough, but I am staying out of low gear more often. The only thing which has changed was adding your cycling practice to my yoga routine. Thank you creating this wonderful practice. Namaste

[@AZLSChannel]

Scott, your words inspire me! Thanks for the encouragement....I did this yoga class and now I'm off for a ride :))

[@hillasinkkonen]

By "Yoga For Cyclists practice", do you mean this video or are there others? I'm interested in doing the same. :) Namaste.

[@Bikes805]

Deaun Zasadny try doing this routine AFTER your ride!! Game changer! It almost completely eliminates post ride muscle soreness for me! I wish I did this years ago!

[@saurabhmaurya94]

I always get a little stiff post a long ride, tried this a few times and it seemed to help. Your endorsement definitely keeps me motivated to continue :D

[@stumac1]

This sequence is awesome ! I can go for days with tight achey lower back and hips from too much desk time + cycling as my main sport and this sequence makes me feel brand new !! I sometimes throw in a wood stacker pose at the end for extra spicy stretching of hips and IT bands + a quad stretch . Adriene - always brilliant !

[@RobertaA7]

Great full body practice to start the day! Happy Sunday... Thankyou, Adriene xxx

[@zenamiller1069]

Today I cycled to work for the second time and then I came home to see that you had a yoga practice for me!! Love and Light to you Adriene! Namaste! x

That feels sooooo good. I’m going back to it now that I’ve left a comment. 😊

I'm a cyclist and have been doing this one for years. One of the most beautiful parts of it is Adriene's mic picks up her heartbeat. Very soothing. Thank you for all you do, Adriene. Namaste.

[@camillebrooks3527]

This practice helps all the different parts of my body. I'm feeling so great. Thanks very much Adriene. Love my yoga community. ❤❤Namaste.

[@amccaughtrie]

Tried this for the first time before a 55km ride. Really seemed to reduce those aches and pains I normally get. A winner for me!

[@CyclingLabs]

I’ve been a cyclist for many years but recently have been suffering with a little sciatica and groin pain. Doing this routine three or four times a week has really helped to clear it up. Thank you so much.

[@DubMasterFish]

Must have done this one a hundred times by now! So good! 👏👌

[@TheHilaryKW]

I am by no means a cyclist, but I have very tight muscles and this was one of my favorites for the lower body! Will definitely be coming back to this one. 😊

Build day 28 (April 2024). Thank you Adrienne for this practice. I keep healing my soul and body with your classes. Namaste 🙏🏻

I've been a cyclist for a long time and did this after my bike commute from work and thank you as always, Adriene!

[@Odminey]

Hey! I used to be a competitive cyclist, but then I got injured and now I just cycle for fun. I've been into Adrienne's lessons for a while now but I only watched the cycling specific one for the first time today. I want to thank you for teaching me the piriformis massage!!! It's wild that i can now do it with no tools. I no longer have to travel with massage balls or a foam roll, i can literally do it with my own body! I'm very impressed

[@siddhiagrawal2021]

I was feeling so low when I started the practice. And was doubting if this was the right practice for me today. But as I did the ending gesture of Namaste, my mind, and my body felt recharged and renewed. Thank you Adriene, you bring life to my life.

[@geoffreybomber]

Adriene, I’ve had the most tenacious hip problem to the point where I can’t even remain standing for more than ten minutes. As a competitive cyclist, this has been embarrassing. I’m going to do this practice every morning and now am on a journey to discover how yoga can enrich my athletics and my life. Thank you so much.

[@FreyaHatfield]

[@jimlittle948]

Hi Adrienne, I’m near 62 and been engaging with your yoga adventures for several years now. As a cyclist I’ve felt so much more agile on the bike, flexible and in turn relaxed on the it. Thanks a whole bunch.

[@mattdo86]

The benefits are universal, eh? I find both practices feed unto each other so fluidly.

[@nhscalessa]

Been teaching, mostly full time, for 23 years. One of the most enjoyable practices I have ever encountered. Definitely a keeper. Love your pace, your voice.......Looking for more of your menus.

[@RobertaA7]

Thankyou for this, Adriene. I am off on holiday today- so it's a fab start to my day xx

[@BenRipleyPhoto]

Excellent. I’ve done a LOT of cyclists’ yoga, both paid and free. This is one of the very best period. Too many rely on downward dog as the foundation for everything. DD has its uses but after a while it ceased to stretch my calves, hamstrings and glutes and started to be about a shoulder endurance test. All good but not too great when your legs are screaming to be stretched. This is the first yoga session for cyclists that doesn’t do a single DD and yet hits the hamstrings, psoas and glutes hard, but in a really good way. Thanks Adrienne, I’m a fan.

[@lanam2842]

Jeez! I had no idea I was carrying so much emotion in the hips! It was so intense, I actually almost gave up, but instead I paused and took a long breathing break, then came back. I finished feeling hopeful, open and calm, ready for the day ahead of me. This is exactly why I love yoga- it's the best reality check, the healthiest way to ease stress, a true wonder for your entire being. I'm beyond grateful that I am on this journey. Sending love to yours💕

[@cherylyeo25]

Lovely flow to BUILD space as body stretch - happy to revisit Namaste to all practicing and may all be well 🙏

The whole month of SHIFT is definitely one to be repeated. My lower back is crying out a wild THANK YOU ADRIENE!

Dear Adriene, if you ever feel like you look like a fool, be reminded that you are helping millions of people around the world find what feels good to them. To me, because I am one of “them”, and I truly appreciate your gifts to the world! Thank you! To the community, there will be times when we look foolish, and there will be times when we do foolish things, but then we can reconnect, recentre and learn. Love to all!

I just see so much "hustle for the like", "chase people to sell things" and Adriene and her community are a breath of fresh air, in the humility, quality and kindness.

[@marisgoldenhour6212]

Build, April 25, 2024. Not a cyclist and limited mobility on a couple poses (looking at you pigeon pose) but I make adjustments as usual. During that process I noticed that my flexibility had improved and gave the practice a little less side eye. Also hadn't noticed how quickly the time flew by. Enjoying all the changes since January's Flow. Namaste on this Sunday

[@virginiasenophdrn5921]

Hi Adriene, I am not exactly the super yogi but an enthusiastic cyclist and rower.I have been following your sessions ("neck & shoulder relief/upper body", "lower back pain" and of course "yoga for cyclists") with increasing enthusiasm for some time now, primarily for regular regeneration. These are great, thank you very much! - How about a new exclusive session "Yoga for Rowers"? That would be something, of course - absolutely fabulous !!! Sporty greetings from Switzerland and thanks again anyway Giancarlo

[@juliedurocher1780]

I jumped ahead with our June Expand calendar. While doing my yoga outside in my backyard, i was watching the blowing birch tree during my left shoulder "thread the needle stretch" and Adriene, you said,"the trees are really blowing out there today." Literally blew my mind!! Never alone, always connected together.....yoga. ❤️🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🇨🇦

[@saraodoherty6787]

Love that! The same thing happened to me when she said - if you know the anatomy, think about the muscles your stretching. I’m a massage student and right before she said it, I had the thought to connect what I’m learning about the body to my yoga practice.

‘Literally’ blew your mind? And yet there was enough pieces left to write this!

This yoga for cyclists was great. I love your 30 day challenges. I’d love a 30 day challenge for cyclists. I ride 150 miles plus a week and don’t stretch enough. I start walking around like I’m on a bike (hunched over…lol). Yoga is helping me so much to stay balanced. Thank you!!!

[@eliskac2173]

[@joanna.ruth_h]

7/6/23: this was one of the first ywa videos that i did, so i had soooo many flashbacks to myself as a baby yogi!! i also realized throughout this practice that my hips are MUCH less tighter than they were when i first started doing yoga! in fact, i was having alot of hip pain when i tried out yoga a few years ago, and now i've realized that i haven't had any problems with my hips for quite a while now!! yoga has helped me physically and mentally so much ❤

[@BryanDuffy]

Been doing your yoga playlist, one a day for a month, cured my carpel tunnel that I'd had for years that really messed with my biking. Unreal, Thank You 🙂

[@bhaminilakshminarayan1812]

When I look at the length of the videos in Shift I'll admit I feel intimidated. 23 minutes of my experience of group classes is heavy sweating, an instructor telling you to push yourself, loads of chaturangas. But the practice on Yoga With Adriene is challenging but also meditative. Time just flies by. Thank you.

[@colleens.3350]

I loved this practice! I am not a cyclist but I believe this video is great for anyone who has to spend a lot of time seated- at a desk, in a car etc. I felt great after the back, hip and hamstring stretches!

[@susanmerrill3489]

I don’t ride a bicycle but this was a great practice for hips, back, and even feet. Always find something new. Thank you, Adriene.

[@rsedelman]

Adriene, that lower back massage...wow. It's been so helpful for this pelvis-injured bike lover who also happens to write (sitting, at a desk) for a living. Thank you.

[@Lorrainium]

Another lovely practice that my silly self might've skipped if not for Build Day 28 and I would've been poorer for it. I'm sore from yesterday and was almost dreading downward dog and then we didn't do it. 😯If you told me the butt massage maneuver at the end was called wild thing, I would've believed it. Thank you for continually showing me new ways to find what feel good!

[@juanitawestaby2744]

This is absolutely the best YWA video to undo the damage of a 12-hour shift as a bedside nurse. It hits all the overworked parts: hamstrings, glutes, low back. Leg-baby massage is a true gift!

[@katesinit]

Expand day 13! I went on a bike ride with a friend today and felt really tired after it, so when I saw this practice on the calendar I was not so pumped up about it because I was hoping for a short one today. And only a few minutes later it hit me that this practice was just what I needed today because of the theme of it. Adriene’s calendar always synchronizes with my life) Thank you, Adriene and YWA community🧡🧡🧡

I have just returned to my bike after many years and this is the first yoga I have ever done in my life. Adriene thank you so much, it is was brilliant and now it will be part of my training. Awesome stuff.

[@navigatorcounsellingandcoa4399]

I wish I could like this video every time I use it. I used to do this after riding to prevent back pain, but now I use it whenever I have even a twinge. For me, it is the best of the back pain yoga sequences. It deserves more views!

[@williamb7275]

Wow, this was nice. I had not done this sequence before. It helped loosen up quite a few tight areas and uplifted my mood a bit. Enjoy! Expand day 24. 263 days in a row.

That works! Very nice post-cycle stretch out and release, thank you.

[@maddymackarey8966]

Adrienne- I missed this practice yesterday and nearly missed today's on the 2021 EXPAND calendar. I couldn't get out of bed today until 3pm. It took so much energy to get here and some days it is truly difficult to go about doing most things, but I am so glad I showed up in the past because I can now keep doing my best to show up, even when it is hard. And when I fall off the daily yoga wagon, I can just pick back up again. You and this practice and everyone else practicing help me continue on, and I am always more energized when I leave the mat. Thank you.

You are truly amazing and I especially admire what you have done to help people all over the world to live healthier lives with your yoga practices and wisdom. Thank you, Ina

[@bjwitkin3283]

Great practice as always. As a cyclist who overdoes his rides, the one thing missing from this routine was something for the quads. I'll search your other videos for that, but if you update this video that would be my only suggestion. This was really good regardless--I'm going to recommend this to the other riders in my group. Thank you for all these videos! You have helped me recover from back pain and 30-year-old injuries.
