As Steve Hogg
says if you are doing lots of riding you need to be doing some sort of stretching!
He recommends someone in his video who just teaches 'stretches'.
If this works for you, do it.
If Pilates works for you, again, do it.
If yoga is your thing, here are a couple of my tips:
In my opinion the 'power yoga co' in SW6 is the best yoga studio in London with loads of choice of different classes/levels and styles
The light centre in the Moorgate/Victoria is also good with pilates/yoga alternatives. It has my favouritest of all teachers there.
Triyoga is decent if you work in Soho/Camden but I think the standard of teaching is better at the other two. Triyoga probably has the nicest studios though.
All 3 do introductory month deals (between £25 - £40) which are great value, use them and abuse them and work out which style/teachers you like. Find teachers that you like, and trust me, you'll keep coming back
If you are a beginner, check that the classes are suitable for you. Remember it is your body and your practice, enjoy it.
For anyone cycling lots I would recommend 'yin' yoga the most.
