This site gives some great options for doing Yoga while in your office and at your desk. I’m sure you’ve seen my postings on how Yoga is essential to climbing improvement. Now there’s even more opportunities to practice it!

Yoga at Your Desk

I found a great website…www.yogatoday.com.

The people that run the site and the blog are rock climbers and avid outdoor enthusiasts. The blog can be found here:

I have started doing Yoga daily and have watched my balance on the rock dramatically increase, as well as my core strength and flexibility. Go to their site, click “Watch Classes” and there is a class you can watch called Yoga for Rock Climbers. Enjoy! I know that I did! I would love to hear about the results you see from doing yoga…comment below!

Recently I read about the benefits of climbers doing Yoga. So over the past couple weeks I have started doing Yoga every day. I have noticed an exceptional change in my balance and in my core strength. I used to be pretty skeptical of Yoga, but now I am definitely in support of it and recommend that everyone give it a try if you want to improve your climbing ability, flexibility, and overall health!

I discovered a great blog on Yoga for Rock Climbers. Check it out, and happy Yoga’ing!
