Yoga

I've decided to aim for doing yoga twice a week. I've contemplated which activity would be most effective for cross-training, and have decided that an intensely physical yoga is definitely the most beneficial thing I can do. For the most part, my forearms get to rest, but I still get to work on body control and precision movements. The class that I attend usually puts a great deal of emphasis on leg strength (however, this could be my weak legs lagging behind my strong upper body). It's a great activity for me because I'm highly goal motivated. Yoga allows me to make a goal out of advanced poses. It also clears my head. I manage to have focus when I climb, but since I mostly boulder, that focus period only lasts a short amount of time. Yoga keeps me focused for the entirety of the lesson. *I'll have to delve deeper into what I receive from the mental and spiritual aspect of yoga in a later post.
