Any ideas for bike riders? Our lower backs could use a good stretch/strengthening pose, from laying over our handle bars for so long. Wish I had a horse!!

I am just getting back into riding and was looking for some good riding specific exercises. These are excellent. Great pictures by the way. I would also recommend “the plank” exercise, not sure what yoga calls it. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing these poses and for this site. We are a family of horse women who like to run. We really appreciate your support for these activities. Stretching is very important, but easily missed. Thanks for including it as part of a good ride!
