We were promised a small stretch session after climbing today… challenging! But great fun and a fabulous way to end our day.

Last September Mark suggested we organise a yoga and climbing retreat and after months of preparation and planning, here we are. Sitting around the dinner table tonight with our guests, sharing stories and experiences it dawned on me that we have made it and that the idea works. I can’t wait to get up tomorrow and practice yoga with everyone. Italy, Sweden, UK and France – beginners and advanced yogis alike – will all be represented in our morning session. Stunning location, lovely group of people and great enthusiasm, what more could you ask for.

This week we have been lucky enough to enjoy rock climbing in the sunshine at home in a crag above Briançon. It was the perfect opportunity to introduce a friend to climbing; coaching on movement skills and explaining safety.

Mindfulness is about being in the present moment, improving concentration and reducing anxiety which often prevent climbers from achieving their full potential.

Summit magazine is available to all BMC members.
