YOGA AND ROCK CLIMBING

First Ave Rocks offers us our Yoga Studio a wonderful place to practice yoga. We are lucky to have this synergy.
We believe Yoga and climbing are complementary to one another. Both teach (and require) mastery of body and mind.
 

Climbers who practice yoga on a consistent basis have experienced the following benefits:

• Greater strength and flexibility
• Increased focus in mind and body
• Increased lung capacity (resulting in better oxygen flow to the muscles)
• Faster recovery from injury
• Enhanced ability to distribute weight on the frame (skeletal system) for better balance and energy movement.
• Increased lubrication of the joints of the body
• Emotional and mental benefits become apparent with consistent practice as well, and often include:
• Improved sleep
• Less stress and reactivity
• Increased energy
• Overall feeling of well-being
• Improved focus and concentration
