Winter 2024 Yoga Classes: Find Your Perfect Fit!

As the leaves change and we welcome the cooler months of fall and winter, we're excited to announce our new yoga schedule to help you stay fit and enhance your climbing abilities! Starting this season, we will offer three unique yoga classes each week, each designed to cater to different needs and fitness goals. Let's dive into what each class entails and how they can benefit your physical and mental well-being, especially if you're a climbing enthusiast.

Class Offerings:

Slow Flow Yoga with Georgie

Sundays, 11:30 am

Looking to stretch, decrease soreness, and increase flexibility and mobility? Enjoy moving your body to find freedom and flow in this uplifting and transformative class. We’ve updated this class in response to the many members who requested a “stretching for climbers” option! Slow Flow Yoga offers a gentler approach, focusing on mindful movements and deep breathing. This class features a slow-paced sequence, often incorporating longer holds in poses to deepen flexibility and promote relaxation. It's perfect for active recovery, helping to release tension from climbing or other workouts. Slow Flow Yoga cultivates mindfulness and presence, allowing participants to connect with their bodies more deeply. For climbers, this class is invaluable in fostering recovery, improving flexibility in key muscle groups, and preparing your mind and body for the challenges of the week ahead.

Vinyasa Yoga with Jocelyn

Mondays, 6:30 pm

Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic practice linking breath with movement. In this class, you'll experience a flowing sequence of postures that sync with your breath, creating a meditative and invigorating experience. This style of yoga can significantly benefit rock climbers by enhancing flexibility, balance, and overall performance through mind-body awareness. As you transition through movements, you develop core stability and strength, essential for climbing. Vinyasa also helps to clear the mind and reduce stress, allowing you to focus better on your climbing techniques.

Power Yoga with Naomi

Thursdays, 6:30 pm

Power Yoga is an energizing and vigorous class emphasizing strength-building through intense poses and sequences. This workout will challenge your endurance and push your limits, making it ideal for those looking to build muscular strength and increase cardiovascular fitness. For climbers, the emphasis on core strength and stability makes Power Yoga an excellent complement to climbing workouts. Power Yoga can enhance your climbing performance and overall fitness levels by increasing your power and stamina. Plus, it's a fantastic way to relieve the day's stress and leave you feeling both empowered and refreshed.

Making Your Choice

Choosing the class that suits you depends on your fitness goals and preferences. Here's a quick guide:

  • Choose Vinyasa Yoga if you enjoy fluid movements and want to improve your flexibility and balance.

  • Opt for Power Yoga if you want a high-energy workout that builds strength and stamina.

  • Select Slow Flow Yoga for a relaxing, therapeutic practice that helps you unwind and recover.

We're thrilled to offer these varied yoga classes as part of our commitment to fostering a holistic approach to fitness and well-being. Whether climbing to great heights or simply aiming for personal health goals, we invite you to join us and explore the benefits of yoga this fall and winter.
