Yoga 8Yoga for Cyclists, part 8: Hamstrings
How often do you close your eyes and inwardly focus on the backs of your legs? We're saying you should be doing it a whole lot more often.
As we discussed in Yoga for Cyclists part 7, tight hamstrings can affect the posture, pulling the pelvis out of alignment, so care of the hamstrings is essential to everyday wellbeing, and to protecting the joints during training.
