The Most Effective Style of Yoga to Increase Your Flexibility - Monthly Yoga With Abi
@yoga15app: I have ankylosing spondylitis so I do a lot of spinal work. I follow a sequence in Bernie Clark's book that takes you through the 6 different types of movement the spine does. It really helps me to maintain my mobility. I love that book!

The Most Effective Style of Yoga to Increase Your Flexibility - Monthly Yoga With Abi
I think the main reason why we need to be doing Yin is because mountain biking is such a Yang activity; its all energy and adrenaline! We need to give our bodies time to balance that energy expenditure out. One of the reasons why I love mountain biking (besides the obvious) is that it is like forced meditation, my mind is completely focused on just one thing only. If you can practice doing meditation outside of riding it will give you more focus, and then if you're out on an injury it will help you from losing your mind. If your taking up a Yin practice it is very important to make sure you do not have any tingling or numbness in the poses. I found that taking some lessons really helped me to learn how to make adjustments for my body. One great author is Bernie Clark, check out his website and books. Im super stoked to see an article on Yin here on pink bike!

Snapshot: Squamish, BC with Reuben Krabbe - Video
Just spent a 10 days in squamish and it was awesome! Bailed pretty hard the first day and had some good whip lash so I missed a few days riding, but its a super fun place to ride. It was great to be somewhere authentic without the scene and bustle of whistler!

Opinion: My Favorite Bike
Great article! I named my bike Blue Thunder and I love her so much! I also love it when you forget about everything and just hit the flow and ride, almost like the bike is just an extension of yourself. makes me feel alive and like a kid again.

Just Relax Already - Opinion
I gotta say as I age and deal with chronic illness being able to relax and enjoy whatever comes your way becomes incredibly important! However when I have to spend the day in bed because of the aforementioned illness,....acceptance and chilling the fack out are really hard! so be grateful you can even ride your bike and have some god damned fun.
