Beth Laber (a friend I met on the America By Bicycle (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.abbike.com\">www.abbike.com<\/a>) cross country ride) introduced me to it the day we went mountain biking. After our ride, we attended a CorePower Yoga class in Boulder. It was interesting. I felt a little &#8216;out-of-balance&#8217; and a bit like a fish out of water since I was unfamiliar with Yoga poses\/positions and had a tough time following the terminology. But, my body felt better and I found it, suprisingly, relaxing.<\/p>\n<p>I went 3 more times during the next week (to the CorePower Yoga at 144th &amp; Lowell Blvd in Broomfield) as part of a 7-day free trial. I got more comfortable with each session and recognized how the core strengthening exercises and flexibility work compliments my cycling. The classes are done in a warm (&#8230;to hot) workout studio and at times during the workout the sweat is literally running off me. When the hour is over, my T-shirt is drenched and weighs a couple pounds more than when we started. I&#8217;m sure all the sweating is having a nice cleansing effect on my body. I know I drink a ton of water afterwards!<\/p>\n<p>My plan is to continue with the yoga through the winter and see if it helps me start out strong in the spring. I&#8217;ll need to be fit again next year for the ABB Colorado Reunion ride that we&#8217;re planning for the end of June\/early July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is not a ride entry, but a quick note to mark when I started adding Yoga into my training program.
