تفاصيل الدورة

What is Climber Yoga all about?

Climber Yoga contains a series of 9 step-by-step yoga video lessons (both downloadable & viewable online) that will teach you the essentials of yoga for optimal climbing. You can learn these yoga postures and routines in only 20 minutes per lesson.

Potential Benefits:

- Boost climbing ability (including high stepping, reaches, etc.)

- Improve flexibility & reduce climbing soreness

- Increase mental focus on the wall

These 20 minute yoga lessons will teach you how to prepare your arms, back, core, hips, shoulders, and side body for climbing while implementing yoga breath.

Since a balance of repetition and new skill adoption is ideal for yoga, during each session we focus on a key body area as well as integrating poses learned in earlier lessons.

Course Length

The course can be completed in less than 3 weeks if you watch and practice a new lesson every other day. (If you watch and practice only once per week, it can take as little as 9 weeks.)

Course Level

All yoga levels can benefit from this course, but beginners who already have a few weeks or months of yoga experience may get the most benefit. With that said, absolute beginners and intermediates can also find value in the course. Any poses that seem too challenging can be skipped entirely or simplified by asking the instructor for a modification.

What Others Say About the Instructor's Studio Classes

Elan was truly the star yoga teacher in our yoga program at MetroRock Climbing Center. It’s hard to describe the remarkable enthusiasm students had for her classes. She brings a warmth and playfulness, together with a masterful teaching style, that really set her apart from most yoga teachers I’ve known. I can’t recommend her highly enough! You’ll laugh, have fun, feel guided and encouraged into new possibilities, and in the process Elan’s yoga will enhance not only your climbing but your sense of ease, flexibility, strength, and focus on and off the rock.

I had the pleasure of taking Elan’s class at MetroRock climbing gym in Massachusetts. Her unique sequencing of poses and clear verbal cues made the class interesting and exciting. As a fellow yoga teacher, I always learned something new from Elan, and admired the passion that she has for teaching her students anything from the basics to a funky arm balance. She definitely encourages a fun, safe and challenging environment where students can build confidence and develop their practice further.

Elan has amazing energy and is very in tune with her students’ interests and levels of comfort. She’s very motivating and provides many levels of intensity in poses while maintaining a very smooth flow of movement.
