"The Bike Body"

[OakLeaf]

Crankin, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that after enough cobras, up dogs, bows and camels, you will be able to do those headstands and handstands we were talking about in the other thread. The more headstands I do and the better I get at it, the more I understand that it's really all about spinal alignment.

Thanks, Oak. I have got to find a class... I am sick of doing yoga at home. I do it, but it's not the same. I have found that most of the classes around here assume you don't work, but really, my schedule is so weird now that I can't do mornings or evenings, unless it's at 6 AM.
I have noticed how "uneven" my body feels, which I think, is at the root of all of my poor bike handling skills. The pt didn't seem to feel that my scoliosis was that severe, or even that the leg length was discrepant, but I know it is off just enough to make it feel funny. And, apparently, all of my riding has started a vicious cycle, where my left side is weak and I get groin pain (on going for years), which has made me work the right side harder, which has caused it to be tight.
Gee, no wonder there are couch potatoes.
