:lol:
Which asanas would you recommend teaching a beginner, male, mountain biker
to prevent stiff elbows, knees and back pain?

ha ha that's funny.

Try out any beginner Hatha class that you can find or try learning the sun salutations and try starting out with five and work yourself up from there.

Good one, purna! Mr. Tourist has recently taken up the practice of trikonasana and parsavakonasana as being particularly effective for his tight mountain biker's body.

Mr. Tourist might also find Supta Padangusthasana and Parvritta/Parsva will release Mr. Tourist's low back after a tumble up and down the mountainbike side.

Yep, they are on his program but he doesn't seem to like to do poses he doesn't do well. Sound familiar? He only gets to 60 degrees or so in supta pad and really needs to use chairs, which is a pain. But this is the most consistent practice he has ever done, so I am just being suppotive and very thankful that with all the mountain biking, there hasn't been much blood to clean up.....yet Funny thing - in 8 or 10 years, he has never seen a bear (which he is really scared of), but I saw one the other day right near the village

He's bending the down leg, yes?
Might mention these poses will help him outrun any bear he might see - internal or external.

Bent knee on the down leg, strap at the heel side of the foot on the up leg so as to work the hamstring rather than near the toes working the calf ... but alas you know all this.

Hmmm...the only time I have used a bent down leg was with Faeq Biria where we had the second strap from heel to opposite hip crease. I will have him work on this. I think it will make him happy But not now. Due to my tummy issues I rarely get to eat "supper" so I just made a fabulous midday supper of pork chops (yummy!) oven fries with Parmesan and green beans. Beauty stuff - organic, from the beautiful Pemberton valley. Asana will have to wait for digestion today

I have such a problem remembering the Sanskrit names for asanas that I missed Purna's joke the first time I read it. It took some careful reading to figure it out. I actually almost typed it into the search to see if I could find a picture of it. Maybe it would feature a detail on the mechanics of the kickstand? It was a good laugh though, once it penetrated the density of my brain.

Hope you all don't find this too offensive.

I just read in one of DH's medical journals that leaning forward on a bike for extended periods can lead to ED. Yikes! He just road a 100 mile road ride last weekend and said his "Elmer" went numb! The article suggested not staying in the same position for extended periods and using a seat that had a notch in it.

Sorry, all I could do was laugh at him. (Elmer woke up fine)

Yep, that is all too true.

As far as yoga for cyclists:
