Chris,
The "rub" is in practicing all the things you mention as ...A YOGA.
Surely, we must practice them, if we are subject to them -- the Parenting, the
biking, the running -- but practicing them as a YOGA is what puts them in the
square of Zen practice.
"Laboring" alone is not quite going to do it for us, is it?!.
Else, many slaves through history would have been Sages.
