Episode 94
As most of us know (and often ignore), having good mobility is important for climbing and yoga can increase that mobility. Pretty obvious, right? I mean it’s kinda common sense. But check this out: there’s actually scientific research to back it up.
The research correlates your climbing ability to a few movements such as High foot placement (and ability to stand up from it ) and Wide stances with or without foot external rotation. This means you’ll have to have things like good hip flexion, hip abduction, knee flexion, and ankle dorsiflexion abilities. In other words, mobility = climb good, stiffness = punt hard.
So we thought, why not use that research to come up with a yoga flow that specifically targets those key areas? Well, that’s where Ieva comes in! We analyzed the research, and Ieva created the routine! You can find her @luna.al.sol on Instagram or at Community Yoga with Ieva Luna on her YouTube Channel! youtube.com/c/CommunityYogawithIevaLuna
Sidenote: So why are we making this video when we already made a video not too long ago about hip mobility? Because that was just one way of going about it! I always like to reiterate that it’s essential in training and rehab to find what works for you and what you enjoy. Otherwise, what’s the point? To be an informed climber you’ve got to know what your options are, so this video is in the spirit of inclusivity and diversity.
Sidenote 2: If you’re curious about the research that went into this routine, check the show notes in the description for citations and summaries.
Ran out of room!! For the rest, including all the pictures, please check out the show notes:
