How to Rock Bouldering: Improve Technique and Get Fit Fast!

Bouldering is not just about physical strength, it's a dance on the wall, requiring grace, balance, mental and physical agility. Starting out can be both exciting and intimidating, but with my guidance, anyone can learn to conquer the wall! My name is Mike and I invite you to come spend an hour with me. Through my personal approach, you will establish a strong foundation, equipping you with the confidence and skills necessary to continue your bouldering journey!

This course will cover the essential techniques you need to know, from mastering body control to perfecting foot swaps, each addition is a building block towards becoming a confident climber. Moving on to more advance techniques like inside/outside flagging and drop-knee/lock-off twists, these skills add more movement challenging your balance. Next up, toe and heel hooks engage your core and problem-solving skills as you navigate more complex routes. The rock over and dynos will further increase your technique and route sending ability!

If you're interested in progression tracking and analytics, I can assist you with setting up your TopLogger account and provide a brief introduction. We'll be using the FB scale working with grades from 3+ to 6b.

Whether you're a beginner, or aiming to brush up on intermediate skills, this course promises a comprehensive introduction into the exciting world of bouldering.

*Please remember entrance and shoe rental (if necessary) costs are not included!

Paula
535h Certified Yoga Instructor / Detailed and Personal Approach to Yoga Practice in English
I am here to convert you into Yoga. With detailed yet soft guidance, I will help you connect your mind and body through this transformative practice. My approach to Yoga is focused on body alignment, building strength, overcoming different/new postures yet nurturing gentleness and playfulness on the mat. Every session includes various breathing techniques (Pranayama) and postures (Asana), regardless of your proficiency level. My goal is to help you to develop your practice that you can take home and keep forever. Upon a request, I can guide you through Hatha, Ashtanga or Vinyasa Flow. The differences: - Hatha - expect a slower practice with fewer postures, longer holds and a stronger focus on body alignment - Ashtanga - dynamic and physically demanding style that follows a specific sequence of poses - Vinyasa - a dynamic and flowing style of yoga that synchronises breath with movement My classes are always tailored to meet student's needs and goals. Upon request, we can together implement Yogic Philosophy, Kriya (body purification), Breathwork and Meditation into our practice. Join me on the mat! Let me guide you on a journey towards physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Paula

Gaurav
Yoga & Meditation with an International Certified Teacher!
Yoga is a way of life! All you have to do is set aside some time and leave the rest to me. The process will make you feel better. You will enjoy this journey:) Yoga is much more than what we see on social media ;) Yoga was first referenced in the ancient sacred Rig Ved literature. Yoga = Yuj/Yoke/unite-union-joining (with the divine wisdom of the universe). Yoga, according to yoga sutra philosophy, is concentration. It is a holistic science based on yoga philosophy. It encompasses the whole person: body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. We will concentrate on your personalized approach!! Especially for you! You will have my whole attention. Bring back the ability to breathe, relax, and regenerate while performing some amazing asanas, kriya, mudra, and pranayama. There are many more. After the practice, you will feel revitalized. Consider it. These sensations are positive and will carry over into your daily lives. Take a deep breath and don't think too hard. Schedule a session and enjoy the ride! I teach overseas, in addition to business organizations and individual customers. Aside from Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga, I understand you and work accordingly. So, let's see you on the mat. NAMASTE

Yoga is an amazing tool I discovered more than10 years ago. With the help of yoga you will be able to release tensions and emotions that you have been carrying around with you for years. Subsequently, you will make space for new things to unfold in your body and Life! Don’t watch the process happen on other people but start today. I will guide you with body, mind and spirit into this practice with a lot of asanas. Some women will discover they can leave the medical pill box aside for relieving period cramps for example. Many claim to have found a solution for their anxiety, insomnia or depression. A mindful practice comes from your own input. As a 200 Hour yoga Teacher and 50 hour FlyHighYoga teacher I will be your guide and coach to embark on your journey with a variety of purposes - be it weight loss, toning, relieving stress, controlling emotions, going through a difficult phase in life, curing pain and symptoms, staying in shape, improving flexibility or practicing to become a professional.We will do different asanas in conjunction with the phases of the moon. Additionally, I work with breathing - the power of breathing is an add-on to your yoga practice. With the control of your breath you can actually turn off the mind when it’s spinning - this will give you clarity. Nonetheless, it’s a very powerful way to cleanse your airways and lungs. The lungs fight pathogens on a daily basis - but have you ever wondered when you actually cleanse them ? I am an experienced and certified teacher with over 150 hours in teaching in studios and University facilities. I can teach one on one classes but also groups up to 50 people. My practice is dedicated and adapted to my students. I focus on getting the best out of everyone, mostly having fun and feeling great during and after class. Are you ready for this journey ?
