Yoga, Pilates and climbing are very synergistic. Climbing requires core strength, balance, breathing, focus and mental discipline – all skills that Yoga and Pilates help with tremendously, which is why so many climbers do Yoga and Pilates.
Beginners and non-climbers are very welcome at all our classes. Just introduce yourself to the teacher and let them know it’s your first time.
Come early to reserve a spot as space is limited per class. Pay your day pass or swipe your membership card at the front desk.
First timers will need to complete our waiver.
Notify the instructor of injuries or medical conditions, if you are new or pregnant.
Classes are subject to change. Space is on a first come first serve basis.
A few mats are available in the studio but we advise you to bring your own or purchase an eco-friendly mat in our gear shop as rental mats are limited.
Each class will be slightly different to the next, depending on who is instructing, what music is played and what the instructor offers on the day. All classes suitable for all levels.

I love the eight limbs of yoga that one can ‘climb’, and helping others to bring their own heartfelt spirituality into their daily fitness regimen, with a focus on strength training for climbing and other sports. I set strong intentions to draw students to mindful connection with the present through pranayama (breathwork) and meditation.
My yoga style: My Yoga for Climbers classes are largely vinyasa based; I also teach beginners’ and synergy yoga with strong self-affirmations and focus on the expansion of the body’s inner space, introspection and resilience. My cornerstones are the use of breath and explorative body movements intertwined with one’s senses, along with an experienced rock climbing and route setting background.
