Yoga for climbing
Yoga for climbers
Climbing and the body
Strength, balance and mobility, going vertical
Climbing asks a great deal of fingers, wrists, forearms, shoulders and back, which pull for long periods, and at the same time it asks for open hips, balance and precise footwork. The body often works in extreme positions, and the mind has to stay calm even far off the ground.
The practice is built around your level, your body and the kind of climbing you do.
What we work on
A practice built around the wall
- Hip mobilityTo get your feet high, stay close to the wall and make better use of your legs.
- Shoulders and backMobility and rebalancing for muscles that are always pulling on the wall. Work to help prevent strains and overload.
- Forearms, wrists and handsStrengthening and releasing tension, with recovery of the areas that work hardest.
- Balance and coreStability and control on delicate moves, by building a solid, functional core.
- Breath and calmBreath control to manage tension and stay clear-headed on hard moves.
The three pillars
Breath, body, mind
Breath
Breath control to manage tension and energy during the climb.
Body
Mobility, alignment and myofascial work for more efficient movement with less compensation.
Mind
Concentration and presence to stay clear-headed on the most demanding moves.
How we work
Built into your preparation
The programme is built around the athlete and coordinated with their strength and conditioning coaches, in line with the season's goals. Sessions take place at your home or your club's facility, one-to-one or in small groups of up to four people.
We recommend practising consistently for at least three months to feel the benefits.

A programme built around the individual athlete and coordinated with their strength and conditioning coaches, in line with the season's goals and their sport.
Ongoing sessions
Private lessons at your home or your club's facility, to ensure consistency and progression over time.
Quarterly review
Every three months we analyse progress, adapt the work and set new goals.
