I love adding this routine to my yoga schedule, it does a great job of hitting problem areas for cyclists and I haven’t gotten sick of it after all these years 🙏
As habits ebb and flow, every few years I find myself getting back on the bike and wondering why I ever stopped. Then I start doing yoga again and always come back to this video... the facial expressions of laughter, panic, and everything in between always make me feel so much better about myself as I struggle with my own laughter, panic, and cursing to get through the workout... and it always feels so good! Thanks GCN!
Am I alone in thinking this was very funny, Dan looked so serious at the start. Its enhanced by vivid recollections of myself attending a yoga class years ago- finding that it was a very innapropriate environment to laugh (much like a funeral) and then laughing as a result and then lol because someone trumped. :)
+Nick Humphrey Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else needs to find out about wants to uncover yoga workout programs try Jadonite Yoga Fitness Buddy (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my friend got cool results with it.
I have found that the strength training and toning through yoga has helped my bike training immensely! It is about engaging muscles through slow, intentional movements which is in contrast to the fast, intentional cadences we do in biking. I was talking with a coach about the concept of "muscle confidence," and the combination of yoga and cardio, endurance bike training has really helped my riding.
I love Matt. He looks so funny! Thank you GCN for these videos. It really helps everyone. I come from a 1 year total stop because of a back injury and with (honestly) 100min of gcn workouts I'm back on the road again. This videos, they really work if have limited amount of time. Thank you again guys.
Proof (is it were needed) that I am stiff as a board. The great thing about this video is that the gcn presenters appear to be struggling as much as me! Great actors all
One of the most "real" yoga videos I've ever seen! Thanks guys for posting this! Being a fellow cyclist, it's nice to "workout" with you all and see that we all struggle with flexibility! Hope to see more of these as well as your trainer/watt bike workouts in the future! :)
Went through the routine this morning and I feel great! Wonderful first program for me as a brand new yogaist/yogaer/yogi. Really want to make this a regular routine 2-3 times a week.
Really loved doing this yoga practice right after a GCN HITT training session!!! Will definitely keep this routine as part of my regular yoga practice! Thank you!
I found that hugely entertaining! I'll never be as strong a cyclist as you guys, even though I've been riding most of my life. But, I do have a 5 year head start on you with yoga! :-)
Great video. I never tried Yoga before, and I took this a an occasion to try it. Now I feel relaxed (and streched) as never before. I look forward for a next video of this kind, thks !
I really enjoy this video for 2 reasons 1) It's a good beginner sequence for cyclists. 2) It has some funny moments that make me chuckle. It would be awesome if you guys could make a few more yoga for cyclists videos to add some variety with a dash of GCN humor. That would be great.
I love a good laugh at the lads (mainly Matt let's be honest) as much as the next GCN subscriber - because this is a video that really appeals to me though I find myself wishing there was more of a focus on the instructor. If you were to do more of these (please do!) it would be great to see it produced as well as your other videos including proper sound-staging and more camera time on the instructor for each pose, focussing on the participants when they're doing something well despite a lack of flexibility/strength.
This is really excellent, thanks! I've always been athletic but never very flexible. I'm actually very encouraged by the fact that you lot don't appear to be any more flexible than I am, yet you're such fine riders. Sort of crazy logic, but it works for me! ;-)
I couldn't do half of these moves! Which made me think have you thought of doing a vid about training while injured or a vid for older cyclists. If you could do one for a 54 year old who's 2 months post hip replacement that would be perfect (for me anyway).
wuntbedruv ha! Might not be able to do quite such a personalised video but we'll certainly be doing more for riders recovering from injury in the future.
These kind of core exercises actually really imrove your cycling a lot (better stabilty at high cadence, say goodbye to lower backpain, much more power when you are riding standing). You can also do Pilates, which is more focussed on core muscle training compared to yoga.
Guys, thanks for sharing this. Can we get a video with just the instructor doing the poses so we can focus on the workout and form? Cutting back and forth is just a bit distracting. Thanks!
I feel like yoga hurts if I start out cold without my muscles warmed up. Like I am very flexible, but doing yoga without doing anything else before feels like i am stretching cold muscles and it hurts. What am I doing wrong? Am I going to hard on the stretches?
Love the Vid’s How many times would you suggest to do this 35 minute exercise session per week? Could they do more cycling specific fitness/core sessions like this. These are great Thank you
GCN, i'mma let you finish, but there are no (0) toxins involved in this. Like, at all. If there are toxins in your body you need a hospital, not a yoga instructor. The workout was super helpful though, feel great.
Pratalax I don't think it's meant to be taken literally. Breathing out "toxins" is more of a metaphor to assist in focusing on the breath, and focusing on the benefits to your body (part of the positive thinking/placebo effect I would surmise).
Jack Harley Well I have heard some yoga folks make some pretty wild claims - so - it could possibly be as literal Pratalax suggests. At least they didn't say it cures cancer. And, yes, I have heard that claim made.
Hold on a minute, so when Matt goes to bed he simply wears some y-fronts but when he does yoga he has a pair of Star Wars pajama bottoms on? Next he'll be saying he showers with his cycling gear on, oh wait....
I use this once a week if I can, good for flexibility base. I too identified should be a warm up before performing deep static stretches; I suggest you go a walk for 10 mins first. Their attempts to hold a 'deep' chair pose are pathetic, obviously don't squat.
Accent means where people are from .... not where class was done .... and GCN North America were there and GCN Europe went there to make some videos .... so the reason for my doubt ....
Not a very good video for Yoga novices. The instructions are ok, but the camera focuses too much on Matt doing the wrong thing and I end up copying him and looking like a goof. also would be handy to put at the start/in description of each of these videos the required equipment list (eg the roll used)
The best GCN video, ever. The facial expressions of panic are precious.

This is still one of my favorite GCN videos of all time. The facial expressions are priceless!
Matt is comedy gold whatever he does.

Nick Humphrey Matt's expressions had my crying in minutes.

Good on you for making the video and having a go. The instructors make yoga looks easy but wicked tough at times.
Ian Kidston You're not wrong there!

@GCN you really are getting greedy with the ads for this video! This was my go to yoga video, don’t think it will be anymore!
Proof (is it were needed) that I am stiff as a board. The great thing about this video is that the gcn presenters appear to be struggling as much as me! Great actors all

An to think that only Tom was called the brick. You guys will really make a sturdy wall!!
Diego Felipe Jimenez Burbano haha!
I think this yoga video was REALLY helpful for cyclists which include myself! Good job guys.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 30 MIN BLOOPERS OF THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO
Went through the routine this morning and I feel great! Wonderful first program for me as a brand new yogaist/yogaer/yogi. Really want to make this a regular routine 2-3 times a week.
Really loved doing this yoga practice right after a GCN HITT training session!!! Will definitely keep this routine as part of my regular yoga practice! Thank you!
this is so funny, yet very useful.
Please Please .... more videos like this on GCN !!!
+ConteudoAnimal com br Check that (their) 2nd channel. :)
I've just followed this video and it hurts! Will be doing it again soon hopefully!
totally love it. best gcn video ever. i probably wont do it, but its great fun watching you guys.
I found that hugely entertaining! I'll never be as strong a cyclist as you guys, even though I've been riding most of my life. But, I do have a 5 year head start on you with yoga! :-)
Great video. I never tried Yoga before, and I took this a an occasion to try it. Now I feel relaxed (and streched) as never before. I look forward for a next video of this kind, thks !
Great video guys. Thank you. I will using fpr post ride stretch.
How wonderful GCN is....
Matt Stevens - Yoga Statesman - That really made me chuckle !
Look forward to the intermediate yoga video!
I really enjoy this video for 2 reasons 1) It's a good beginner sequence for cyclists. 2) It has some funny moments that make me chuckle.
It would be awesome if you guys could make a few more yoga for cyclists videos to add some variety with a dash of GCN humor. That would be great.
5 years later I'm still doing this sequence and sharing it with anyone who says they have a sore back!
This is by far the most hilarious GCN video ever
Super cool! Fast, not too hard and feel much better after! 👍🏼💪🏼🙏🏼
I’m chuckling watching the guys “try to” do yoga. This is a VERY simple/easy yoga routine. Yoga is definitely the territory of us gals.... LOL
When is the GCN Network going to release the intermediate yoga class?
Great video guys, really helped out a lot!
Loved this video! Great to join in but difficult to keep a straight face. My fiancee sat on the couch with a glass of wine in hysterics!
I love a good laugh at the lads (mainly Matt let's be honest) as much as the next GCN subscriber - because this is a video that really appeals to me though I find myself wishing there was more of a focus on the instructor.
If you were to do more of these (please do!) it would be great to see it produced as well as your other videos including proper sound-staging and more camera time on the instructor for each pose, focussing on the participants when they're doing something well despite a lack of flexibility/strength.
Just use RUclips and look for yoga channel/classes - I guess this is an introduction/
Matt those pajama pants are absolutely glorious :) May the Force be with you
Enjoyed watching you guys struggle.
When will you guys have more yoga for cyclist? That was great!
This is really excellent, thanks! I've always been athletic but never very flexible. I'm actually very encouraged by the fact that you lot don't appear to be any more flexible than I am, yet you're such fine riders. Sort of crazy logic, but it works for me! ;-)
Great session, but no quad stretch? Isn't it the most important muscle for cycling?
Greetings from Amsterdam guys,... Just wanted to say that sometimes I get pain in my lower back. Can you advise? Love your work, keep it up!
When she she said bring your chin closer to your chest , you could see the panic on Matt's face as he's thinking "what? All of em??"
I could this idea for my core training
Really useful for people who have to climb by bike everyday, because of job
The Brick and The Boulder - Rock Solid!
i love this vid thank you GCN
I couldn't do half of these moves! Which made me think have you thought of doing a vid about training while injured or a vid for older cyclists. If you could do one for a 54 year old who's 2 months post hip replacement that would be perfect (for me anyway).
wuntbedruv ha! Might not be able to do quite such a personalised video but we'll certainly be doing more for riders recovering from injury in the future.
Brilliant!!!
Made me flatulent. What is the protocol in this case? Do you let rip in class, excuse yourself or attempt to hold it?
Love this!
Brilliant
Hya guys. Jus a follow up. I ve had a nagging neck pain after my rides. What r the best post ride streches for stiff and painful neck. Cheers:)
Anže .Gorjanc We've got a video just for you: ruclips.net/video/0MoVptJ1Edw/видео.html
+Noah Rubin
THanks mate appreciate it.
really good. invigorating
I knew at least one of you wouldn't be able to keep a straight face and take this seriously! The boss ftw.
This is brilliant, I didn't realise Mr Bean was working for GCN. haha, only joking, love your humour Matt!!!
Did Matt forget all his kit? Looks like teacher went to the 'spare kit' box. Reminds me of school days :)
Great yoga instruction however way too many adverts
from my experience, ujjayi breathing is always mouth closed and breathing through the nose with an oceanic sound emanating from centre of the throat
Manufacturers should have a look at Neal's body in order to learn how to make bike frames even stiffer.
AkitaGin Neal The Boulder is as stiff as the Rocky Mountains
Good stuff
These kind of core exercises actually really imrove your cycling a lot (better stabilty at high cadence, say goodbye to lower backpain, much more power when you are riding standing). You can also do Pilates, which is more focussed on core muscle training compared to yoga.
Glad to know I'm not the only stiff one
This is like Nigella on a mat. I'm in!
hahahaha Matt's facial expression @15:42 was the highlight
Guys, thanks for sharing this. Can we get a video with just the instructor doing the poses so we can focus on the workout and form? Cutting back and forth is just a bit distracting. Thanks!
I feel like yoga hurts if I start out cold without my muscles warmed up. Like I am very flexible, but doing yoga without doing anything else before feels like i am stretching cold muscles and it hurts. What am I doing wrong? Am I going to hard on the stretches?
Love the Vid’s
How many times would you suggest to do this 35 minute exercise session per week?
Could they do more cycling specific fitness/core sessions like this. These are great
Thank you
3x a week stretching ,2x a week core workouts,1x a week weight training and 1x a week swimming
Don't know if the Star Wars (Yoga?)pants that Matt is sporting or how the by's are turning beets shade of red are my favourite part!
Come on lads you're supposed to look enthusiastic! Haha
So Neal , what did you get up to in your visit to historic Bath in the UK ?.........
GCN, i'mma let you finish, but there are no (0) toxins involved in this. Like, at all. If there are toxins in your body you need a hospital, not a yoga instructor.

Not too much stretching.. Don't wanna' lose [Clarkson voice] POWER!!!
Loving Dan's WTF face throughout this video
Andrew Bedford That not unique to this video......
Good routine, way too many commercial interruptions.
Daniel is that Cervello or GCN red. That your face has gone at 10:10.
The advertisement during the workout is distracting. I like the explanations on the top right side of the video clip.
Great stretch but omg the suffering
I love how he is wearing star wars sweats
Where am I ?
What am I doing?
She bends all kinds of ways.
how could you concentrate!!!
tough to be trained in such environments
matts so cute xx
Hold on a minute, so when Matt goes to bed he simply wears some y-fronts but when he does yoga he has a pair of Star Wars pajama bottoms on? Next he'll be saying he showers with his cycling gear on, oh wait....
An X-wing for his Y- fronts.
Gixer750pilot And what about a Tie fighter?
A Chinese boxer???
Instant like for Star Wars pants.
I'm simply in love with Tobaka's pants aka Matt.
i Gave Up After 11:57, i feel tension on my diaphragm and below part of ribcage😓
Many guys at the age of Matt are already rusted and obese. He has the body of a 30 year old!
+Christian Ortega He is 30
I use this once a week if I can, good for flexibility base. I too identified should be a warm up before performing deep static stretches; I suggest you go a walk for 10 mins first. Their attempts to hold a 'deep' chair pose are pathetic, obviously don't squat.
Video: 35 Minute Yoga Workout
Genre: Complete Comedy....
Feels like I'm watching a 5th grade gym class 😂
Great flow... too many lentghy commercials
It's good to see the woodprix has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
where this lesson done ? UK or USA ?
ConteudoAnimal com br UK, based on her accent
Shaun The Penguin correct - yoga studio in Bath.
Accent means where people are from .... not where class was done .... and GCN North America were there and GCN Europe went there to make some videos .... so the reason for my doubt ....
Time for a new GCN Yoga video?
"Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh.... She said pubic! Uh-uh, uh-uh" (Beavis and butthead voice)
Taking the breath around the back of the rib cage? wtf?
Hi its me again
Oh dear.
You've got too much Saturn and not enough Moon. -Francis Dunnery
Not a very good video for Yoga novices. The instructions are ok, but the camera focuses too much on Matt doing the wrong thing and I end up copying him and looking like a goof.
also would be handy to put at the start/in description of each of these videos the required equipment list (eg the roll used)
Did anyone else absolutely lose their shit at 0:20?? MATT!!!!
