Yoga for cyclists

at Yoga Place, even.

Thanks James, I am a regular in Rebeccas Yoga Place class but they are stopping the monthly pass scheme and I try to go at least 3 times a week (obsessive personality). It was unsustainabley cheap at £35/month for unlimited lunchtime classes so I don't blame them for knocking it on the head but for a similar amount of yoga I'm now looking at £100+/month. The new Body Wise studio do some kind of pass but it's a bit confusing, I'll pop down there and ask in person as I haven't seen the new place yet.
Ta,
Ben

Rebecca's usual update--note the possibility of a new course in E&C:

Greetings yogis, friends and cyclists,
Hope this finds you keeping as warm as possible out there!

A quick update:

Yoga for cyclists course in Spitalfields (and maybe Elephant & Castle)!

The next Yoga for Cyclists 7 week course will start on the 10th January 2013 (and finish on the 21st February) every Thursday 7 - 8.30pm. This will take place as usual at Bodywise - located at the Kobi Nazrul Centre - 30 Hanbury st, E1 6QR (between Brick Lane and Spitalfields) (www.bodywisehealth.org). If you are a complete beginner, it is importan to attend the first class and the whole course if possible. If you are an experienced yogi, feel free to drop in.

Drop-in prices: £12.50 full/ £9 conc. per class.

Also there is a strong possibility of starting a new Yoga for Cyclists course in Elephant & Castle at the lovely Pullens Yard www.pullensyards.co.uk near Elephant & Castle, SE17. If it does go ahead, we'll have a trial 7 week course starting on the 14th January 2013 (and finishing 25th February) 6 - 7.30pm every Monday night. If there are any South Londoners keen, please let me know asap as we are limited to a class of 6 students. This will come at one cost - £65 for the whole course. I'm sorry there are no drop-in possibilities as I need to pay for the space hire upfront. For those who do contact me, I'll let you know if it is definitely going ahead as soon as it's confirmed.

Not enough Camel Toe... i checked all eight pages

Im Outta here LuLz

I started doing some leg stretches a few weeks ago after I noticed my form deteriorating on the final few reps of my barbell squats. I figured it was a lack of hamstring/ankle flexibility. Anyway I started stretching and i'm really enjoying it, stretching feels great! I was about 2 inches off touching my toes before, now I can almost palm the floor. I can just about get my head between my knees in a sitting down position too (not sure what it's called).

Form has improved, I can go lower on the squats, which is always better. Core strength still could do with improving.

I'm also trying to learn the splits (sideways ones) and for some extra motivation i've put up a £20 bet that says I can do it by January 10th with a girl I know. It's pretty painful so far ... I'm gonna lose da cash aren't I .. How long does it normally take to do? Male, 1m84, 78kg. Long legs.

here you go mate

Sounds good lpg.
It's unlikely that if you weren't a gymnastics boy or similar you'll do a full splits, the tendons won't have developed that way, but having said that my 45 yr old male teacher gets into them so not sure how you're made.
Keep going on downdog/updog vinyasas with plenty of dandasana/chaturanga dandasana and your core strength will solidify and transfer into all the standing balances and you won't regret the practice.
Camel toe? Ustrasana. Beginning deep backbends.sweet.

anyone tried Slackline....Ive had one up outside for the last year,using everyday..insane
core workout,and legs much stronger......one of the best £40 ive ever spent !

Ha.funny you mention it, really looking forward to trying that, have seen it heaps but never been in right place to try.new thread needed?

@jmf

Aw shit really? There's a good chance they won't come? How sad :(

I was never into flexibility as a kid, I could barely touch my toes my whole life until recently. Do you mean something like this?

Yoga vinyasa jumping from Down Dog - YouTube

That is impressive as fuck. My core strength has improved a lot, squats, full cleans and olympic lifts in general are fantastic and work it like nothing else, but i'd love to improve flexibility would love to be able to do what that girl does. Ah well just gotta keep on truckin! I'll report back if I achieve my splits goal :)

Will watch that vid. when I get off train.

"do you mean something like this" connected to the vid from a list of my sanskrit names shows you know a little more than most LPG :)
she does indeed do 2 sets of downdog/ jump to handstand/ jump back to chaturanga dandasana/ updog/ downdog
The first 2 kind of show off her upper body strength from loads of jumping practice and her extreme neck stretch is unneccesary, but its youtube so... then 3rd rep is into deep uttanasana/ flat back.
That movement where you lower weight down on balls of feet- dandasana
to just off the floor- chaturanga dandasana (keep your arms close to the body)
then roll weight over onto tops of feet for up- dog is totally strengthening and was what I meant above.

Oliver, where can I contact Rebecca to ask her a question about her classes?

The bit where it's super busy reminds of my first and only bikram class I took in San Francisco, it was errrrrrr, intense. And bordering on nude.

Hi, Just joined the forum. I was wondering if anyone knows when a new course will start?

Thanks

Rebecca hasn't announced the next course yet, but the current one is still going, and there are also lunchtime classes:
