Heath - I'm going to yoga tonight with my wife. I've only ever done it once, and it was good. This is a hot yoga though so not sure I'll like that (though it's like -20 something here so may appreciate it).
Yoga strengthens both core and shoulders, it also involves mostly static resistance which is exactly the type of stress put on your upper body when cycling. Added flexibility will take some stress off your upper body. And unlike weights, gym, classes, etc., it's something you can do by yourself every day, anytime, anywhere. Even 10 minutes a day can make a drastic difference.
