I confess. I’m partly writing about lizard pose to share photos of a new pet in the house, Lizzy the bearded dragon. My son just moved back home and he was nervous we wouldn’t like her. Luckily, she seems to fit in just fine as part of the working from home crew.
Lizzy does Zoom with Sam!

Lizzy! Look at that face!
But that’s not the whole story.
In an online cycling group of which I’m a member someone recommended lizard pose as an excellent yoga pose for cyclists.
What’s LIzard Pose? “Lizard Pose is an excellent stretching posture for the hip flexors, hamstrings and quadriceps. Integrating this pose into your regular yoga practice improves hip flexibility and strengthens the leg muscles.”
I’ve been riding lots lately (207 km this week on Zwift) and feeling in need of some bike speciifc stretching in addition to the Yoga With Adriene I’ve been doing. So Sunday morning, ater taking Cheddar for a walk, Sarah and I spent some time with Adriene and lizard pose. I love how low key silly and goofy Adriene is. I feel much more relaxed and happy on that mat with attitude.
As always, there are even more advanced poses.
Here’s flying lizard.
But for what it’s worth, even Lizzy–an actual lizard–can’t do flying lizard and neither can I. That’s just fine by me.
Happy Monday from Sam and Lizzy!
I love Lizzy.
In yin yoga the pose is called dragon, and I almost always included a dragon in my classes. It is a tough pose to relax into.
I can’t quite imagine flying dragon on my future…I just don’t have a balancing body, lol. Short arms, long torso, heavy legs.
I’ll give it a try later.
