Want to be stronger? More supple? More focused? Prevent injuries, or heal from an existing injury? Improve your technique? Or are you simply looking to improve your downward-facing dog?
Whether a novice, or an expert, the yoga classes here at Boulders are designed to support your climbing, whilst also helping to develop your flexibility and fitness.
Yoga has been shown to help climbers in many ways:
Balance
Strength
Flexibility – particularly hip flexibility
Injury prevention
Improved speed of recovery from injury
Focus
Relaxation
Improved sleep
Good overall warm up or warm down, before or after climbing
Posture
Using the body more mindfully can help you to climb through more demanding sections, to tire less quickly and to recover faster.
Our yoga teacher Tori has tailored traditional yoga teaching and applied it to her teaching for climbers. Classes cost £5 for members and £8 for non members.
Mats are provided – please wear something you can move freely in.
