PHYSICAL YOGA
my pre-rock-climbing routine . By increasing and deepening my ujjayi breath , when I felt my arms and fingers could no longer hold my body , I was able to find strength and stamina to carry on . Thanks to my yoga teacher training immersion and deepening my meditation practice , I find that my breathing may have the greatest impact on my rock climbing performance .
Through the postures , breathing , and meditation , yoga is something that should go hand in hand with rock climbing . Plus it can be used to increase athletic performance with any and every other sport . Namaste ! ■
