Rock Climbing & Yoga
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, NV
October 19th - 21st, 2012
We will spend 3 days camping in the beautiful desert landscape of Red Rocks Canyon climbing and doing yoga (optional) daily. Uniting yoga and rock climbing in this serene setting is an adventure not to be missed. There will be instruction in climbing techniques and skills such as belaying, rappelling, and multi-pitch climbing. We will enjoy yoga and use the principles of breathing and alignment practiced on the mat to enhance and improve our rock climbing skills.
This trip is created and lead by Winslow Passey.

Yoga is a powerful practice that enhances every aspect of our lives physically and mentally. Yoga means “yoke” or to “unite” the body, mind and spirit in a way that brings us strength and calmness. The strength supports us in all of our daily activities bringing greater ease and enjoyment in life. Increasing ones flexibility helps prevent injury and allows for a freedom of movement that is very helpful in rock climbing. The union of the mind and spirit creates a profound transformation that helps transcend the ego giving us a clarity and peace of mind.
Rock Climbing is an adventurous and dynamic sport that requires balance, focus, and strength. It often challenges our fears and requires determination and problem solving to overcome difficulties. Rock climbing is a fun way to play and explore in a beautiful serene mountain environment while enjoying a connection to nature. It is an exhilarating feeling to climb up these stunning rock formations.
Yoga and Rock Climbing compliment each other perfectly encouraging a union of the mind and body to increase our focus, strength, balance, and flexibility in a way that allows us to open to greater possibilities on the rock and in life.
