Relax, Breath, Stretch and Climbing On!
September has officially started, which means it's the start of yoga month! That being said, many climbers know the benefits of how impactful yoga can be for building climbing strength and technique. According to climbing magazine “‘That ability to feel your body and know your body, and have that core strength that you're going to gain through yoga—it'll directly translate to your ability to stay calm on the rock because you'll have a lot more confidence.’” Personally, I have not had much experience with yoga, I am truly a total noob, but I have heard countless stories and seen the technical growth just through working at climbing gyms and talking to the community.
To celebrate Yoga month Sender one is hosting a month long event to help y’all get stronger! Here is how it works
What: September Yoga Challenge
Where: All Sender One Gyms that offer yoga (may change to add Playa if we can)
When: Sept 1st to September 30th
Who: All members and non members
Why: Because September is National Yoga Month and challenges are always fun! 🙂
Are there prizes?
1st Place - a free month membership. 2nd place - a Manduka Mat. 3rd Place - A Sender Logo Merchandise (probably one of our coffee mugs -).
Additionally:
For every 5 classes taken, the attendee receives an extra guest pass on their account. These guest passes will be added at the END of the challenge.
Rules:
For each yoga/mat Pilates class a person attends at their home gym, they will get one star. The yoga challenge is SPECIFIC to each gym. If you are an LAX member and drive to SNA, the class will not be counted towards the yoga challenge.
Members do NOT have to sign up for this challenge, but they do have to sign up and be checked into class to receive a star.
Sounds pretty cool, right? Honestly, I think I might start making yoga a part of my regular life, with an incentive like that, who wouldn’t haha.
We offer yoga at 4 out of our 5 locations. Find your nearest Sender One and book your class today!
