Write Up:
What a butt-kicking good time on a rainy afternoon!

Our knowledgeable instructor, Kathleen Rouse, led us through almost an hour and a half of yoga designed to push boundaries, test strength and flexibility, engage our core, and make us better climbers and cavers. Several poses were directly related to moves we've used in caving and climbing situations, while others were great for overall core work. Emphasis was also placed on breathing which is so crucial for tough and stressful situations on the rocks.

We tried an inverted pose at the end which only Michael Johnson was able to complete entirely (but many folks gave it their best shot). Well done, Mike!

Feedback from all was very positive, with several outward wishes that we continue this event (especially if we can hold it outdoors, which had been the original hope).
