“As a rider, father, worker, trainer, racer etc., and most of all at 43 yo, it’s not always easy to be healthy and in shape as our passions demands. For about 15 years, my weak point has always been the lower back. In darker moments I’ve been put on morphine to relieve the pain..and...
“After a winter of back problems, I realised that I needed to put some time into stretching and building core strength to help me get back up to speed riding and to avoid injury in the future. Abi’s 15-minute videos were just the ticket. They...
“Work these days has been crazy! I do not know how I could handle all that without my 2 yoga days a week and riding on the weekends. But as they say work hard but party harder! 🙂 I practice Vinyasa yoga. The best thing about it is that I am...
“A few years back I was knocked off my motorbike in which I did some muscle damage to my shoulder. At the time the physio helped and fixed the pain and motion, however the prolonged effects have still been quite apparent and sometimes I can...
I’ve been mountain biking for around 5 years and did a fair bit of running and road biking before that. I’d never really gotten into any good habits of stretching or strength training to balance the cardio stuff I was doing and when I’d tried yoga...
“Love getting your emails Abi. I’m a 61 year old avid mountain biker out of Rossland BC Canada. I’ve been mountain biking for 30 years and we have a fabulous riding group called the HolyWow Gang that have been riding together for the last 26...
“Abi, thank you. I’m a mid-40s, stupidly busy mountain biker with rotten flexibility and a low tolerance for time wasting bullcrap. Your entire 15m series comes with me via Vimeo everywhere I travel for work, your practices are simple...
“Being an avid enduro racer, road racer and father of 2 little ones, I have very limited training time during the week. With the help of Abi’s videos I have been able to increase my flexibility substantially and also alleviate the pain I would...
“15 minutes of yoga a day keeps the doctor away! Yoga 15 has bike-specific routines which are very helpful and practical for me. Abi is wonderful. She reads all the reviews online and responds. I feel like she’s coaching in person. Thank...
“As a mountain biker, I do a lot of damage to my body. I see a yoga practice as a core tool to help me recover, increase flexibility and balance, and maintain my body for the years ahead. Abi’s lessons have been great as they...
” I played around with a few yoga DVDs over the years… static pose 30 minute routines, nothing MTB-focused, just general movement stuff I found time for before work most days… I’m busy, real busy.. 4 kids and a 60 hour...
“Finding Abi’s articles on a dedicated mtb site is definitely a blessing! Her easy and relatable approach into applying yoga to mtb riding is exactly what I needed to address and now help prevent issues that would otherwise keep me off...
“When I was 7, I fell ski-ing and my leg almost did a full rotation. When I was 8, I graduated from a wheelchair to crutches. And when I was 24, I started doing yoga regularly. I spent 16 years dealing with pretty regular back pain from my injury...
“Hi there. Huge thanks for your pinkbike videos which have genuinely improved my standard of life and cut the physio bills down a bit! I am only 32 although I have suffered a few big injuries. I am a constant advocate for the practice and...
“Abi’s yoga videos have improved my life dramatically. Having herniated a disc in my lower back over ten years ago, even with preventative physio the injury would recur almost annually, taking me out of work and off my mountain bike for weeks...
“Hi Abi, I saw your videos a few week back. I thought I’d give it a go after my mountain bike spins and it seems to have worked. I suffer with back pains anyway and after my spins even more so. I did your post-ride routine on Sunday and...
“Almost six years ago I learned to love mountain biking and I do it now as often I can. When I was 26 I had a disc herniation in the lower back but it healed without an operation. Since then I have to do exercises for my back to keep it good...
“I started practicing yoga with your videos because I have a disease that brought me down to about 15-20% mobility over the course of the last 7-8 months. So far, I’m back to about 85% mobility, I attribute most of my improvement to your...
“I started doing yoga after reading a few of your articles on PinkBike and being pushed to by my girlfriend. I have been practicing for around 2 years now. Yoga helped me first to get a good recovery as I struggled to sleep because of too high...
“Since starting to use Abi’s post-ride yoga routines for mountain bikers, I’ve noticed a big reduction in my back pain. I used to have to cut workouts short, and stop and stretch during races, not because of a lack of strength in...
“For me, yoga was something that I considered doing but never actually took a chance on until Abi’s first article came out on Pinkbike. It completely changed not only my recovery routine but my whole perspective on athleticism and...
“I started practising yoga with the 15-minute videos that were first posted on pinkbike. This was when I was cycling a tonnes (racing on and off road) and since I had never even stretched before or after a ride I could feel very significant...
“Thank you for your session for auld giffer mountain bikers like myself. For the first time in years I don’t wake up with a bad back. It’s great, after three weeks of twice a week I’m starting to feel a huge improvement in my...
“I’ve been using Abi’s 15 minute post-ride routine for the past couple of seasons. I use it after every ride because it’s so quick and simple to do. The effects are noticeable. I suffer with sore shoulders from time spent...
