After a gratifying and exhilarating long day’s ride, it’s entirely normal to experience feelings of tiredness and stiffness, primarily due to prolonged sitting in limited positions.

These aches can distract you and often make it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.

They’ve been especially chosen for the motorcyclist to help you relax and feel revived when morning comes.

In a regular yoga class you might hold some of these moves for up to a minute, but with this sequence the extra timing is to ensure those motorcycling muscles and tendons get a good stretch.
Use the timer on your smartphone to time your poses.
*Note: To avoid feeling light-headed, ease yourself out of the poses slowly. And of course don’t do these if you have any doubt they’ll affect your health/be beyond your physical abilities; see your medical physician.
