Do you do yoga on a regular basis?

512OW, wow i agree. yoga, slacklining and all that other shit climbers do (minus drinking because that does help) is a waste of time. if you want to get better at climbing, go climb.

but, i do think running and getting your cardio up will help for sure. yoga not so much...

i did yoga a couple of times a week for 3 years. i have back problems and i thought it would help, but never did. it also never helped my climbing. i think just good old stretching will do as much as yoga...

In that case I retract my earlier statements and would like to sign up for a yogurt class immediately.

If I'm able to climb more because my back doesn't hurt then yoga is helping me become a better climber.

OK I thought this was really funny and I want some credit.

i have a dvd with a really long yoga routine (1.5 hours) i used to rock a few times a week. it was pretty hard, but it didn't take long before i had it wired and wasn't getting much out of it. so i quit. i still like to do sun salutations to warm-up on cold days, and i certainly use the yoga breathe to help with stretching, but if i'm trying to get my core strong for climbing i go with this:

or bits of this:

with these as a foundation you can come up with all sorts of cruel ways to get strong in the middle.

Interesting. Note the last man is 103 yrs old. Could it be the Sprite?
Or the dreads?
