with Shi

Length: 1 hour
Price: £14.50 Adult / £11.00 Concession*
When: Tuesdays at 7pm
Vinyasa Yoga, a dynamic practice that emphasizes the seamless connection between breath and movement, is now on at the Rhino Gym!
This Session is open to everyone, whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or seeking a deeper understanding of this invigorating practice.
The continuous flow of Vinyasa encourages gradual stretching, promoting increased flexibility and mobility over time. As you move through different poses, you’ll not only improve flexibility, but also lung capacity, strength, balance and focus.
You'll be guided by Aisha (Shi), a yoga teacher based in South London. With a passion for Ashtanga and Rocket yoga, Shi’s vinyasa flow classes are always fun and dynamic. Shi has over 9 years of personal practice experience and is an avid climber herself.
Power Yoga

When: Saturdays at 9am
Power Yoga is an energising, fitness-based Vinyasa practice which has many of the same qualities and benefits of Vinyasa Yoga, but with a focus on building strength and stamina. Power Yoga classes generally include less poses, held for slightly longer than in Vinyasa Flow classes.
You will be guided through this session by Louise, a yoga teacher based in Bromley, specialising in Vinyasa Flow, Power Yoga and Mindfulness.
Each session will include strength, mobility, balance and flexibility work focussed on key areas to complement your climbing skills (for example arm strength, hip opening and shoulder mobility).
Louise’s yoga journey began in 2014, and she has been developing her own personal practice ever since. As a fellow climber at Rhino, she has learnt just how beneficial Yoga can be in enhancing her own climbing experience!
This session is open to everyone, Louise is passionate about making her classes energetic, fun and accessible to all by tailoring sequences and sessions to the needs of her students.

FAQ
Yoga offers several benefits for climbers, enhancing both physical and mental aspects of climbing. Here are some key advantages:
- Increased Flexibility: Yoga helps in stretching tight muscles, which is crucial for climbers to reach and hold difficult positions.
- Improved Strength: Regular yoga practice can build strength in the core, arms, and legs, which are essential for climbing.
- Enhanced Balance: Many yoga poses require balance, which translates well to the stability needed on a climb.
- Better Focus: The meditative aspect of yoga can improve concentration and focus, helping climbers stay calm and collected during challenging ascents.
- Reduced Stress: Yoga’s relaxation techniques can lower stress levels, which is beneficial for maintaining a clear mind while climbing.
Incorporating yoga into your routine can lead to a more mindful presence during climbs, allowing you to be more aware of your body’s movements and limitations. This can result in a more efficient and enjoyable climbing experience. Remember to practice yoga regularly to reap these benefits fully.
