To me you need a learning tool. Yoga has helped me greatly. It's actually an excercise developed years ago for people that wanted to meditate for many hours at a time.

You get to the physical through focus on the breathing. The main breathing difference is that you breathe in AND out through your nose, which adds heats to your body. I breathe out through my mouth when I'm riding at a higher intensity but through the nose only at lower levels. This all helps me manage my heart rate.

Yoga helps you "quiet your body" so you can use your mind. I ride bikes and it really helps me experience what my body is doing rather than watching a clock. I can ride much longer because I titally get into the physical aspects of what I am doing.
