How would Asana on two wheels go?

Has anyone out there tried yoga to help with cycling? I haven\’t so far; but sometimes I wonder whether it would be a good idea. Cycling causes some muscles to tighten, and yoga can help to stretch them out.

I haven\’t yet investigated books about yoga for cyclists; and I don\’t even have a DVD player. So I\’ll have to let DVD\’s fall by the wayside; but maybe, one of these days, a yoga book?

My sensitivities to \”scented stuff\” make me very wary of actually trying a yoga class. And would it be possible to find a free class? Besides that, my schedule is crowded enough already. A nice, short talk-through YouTube such as this would be a good starting place. It would help even more if I could watch the screen as I attempt the moves. You know the old saying: \”We learn by doing\”.

I\’m already familiar with the term \”downward dog\”, but \”warrior one\” is new to me. Or rather, it seems to be a different name for the gastrocnemius stretch.

It probably would help me if I were more diligent about using the foam roller. Maybe that could take the place of yoga. But when I get home from a long Sunday ride, or after work during the week, I just want to have something to eat; and then I plunge right into blogging! If I could manage asana on two wheels, that problem would be solved.
