Yoga and biking 'feed into one another,' instructor says
Summer has finally arrived, and with the pleasant weather comes the opportunity to engage in a variety of outdoor activities. People often choose to walk, run or bike, which are excellent ways to lose weight and stay healthy. However, these types of exercise can take a toll on the bones, joints and muscles.
As a result, many athletes cross-train by incorporating yoga into their practice routines. According to the Teton Valley News, devoted cyclist Bridget Lyons has done just that. Riding her bike and performing the soothing exercises of yoga are two of her greatest passions in life. In order to share the benefits of such a combined routine with others, she has launched a weekend retreat that will take place in August on a peaceful mountaintop.
"[The two activities] totally feed into one another," Lyons told the news source. "Yoga helps with biking and biking helps with yoga."
The gentle breathing techniques, poses and stretches of yoga are designed to enhance the body's flexibility, strength and stamina, in addition to bringing about stress relief. By engaging in the holistic mind-body regimen, one may be fairly certain that one's body will be taken care of, no matter what strenuous sports one chooses.
