Beyond climbing, Rock Mill is home to a growing yoga, movement and fitness community. Our newly expanded fitness area provides plenty of room to move and play as you build strength and mobility, and weekly yoga classes in the climbing hall provide the space you need to flow safely.
Join us for Morning Yoga on Saturday and Sundays or for Mobility and Strength classes on Monday and Tuesday Evenings.
Mobility for Climbers
Mondays @ 6pm
In this class, you will work with Carly to increase functional mobility throughout your body. To achieve this students will expand current ranges of motion, while focusing on learning to control and strengthen through the full range of motion in each joint. Increasing mobility can help you move better, climb better, and feel better.
Upper Body Strength
Tuesdays @ 7:30pm
Bouldering Fundamentals
Wednesdays @ 6pm
The Bouldering Fundamentals class is for anyone at the beginner or intermediate level looking to take their bouldering to the next level. Rockey will teach specific climbing movements like drop knees, flagging, how to build power, as well as important techniques for balancing on the wall and reading routes.
Yoga with Gretchen
Sundays @ 8am
This class focuses on building the fundamentals of a vinyasa flow. It establishes a mindful connection between breath + movement to create an intentional flow of postures. It is accessible to all-levels and will start with simple breathing practices, then move into a full body warm up. The warm up will prepare your body for the work or “crux” of the class which will work on breaking down the mechanics of a specific posture. Class will finish with a warm down, consisting of deeper, longer-held stretches for the hips + shoulders and will finish with a brief meditation or rest period.
Bouldering 1 Workshop
Every other Saturday from 1:30pm – 3:00pm
This workshop will teach you the techniques you need to make the most of your time bouldering. You’ll experience community in this small-group setting as you work through climbs together and learn how to make bouldering a part of your fitness routine. Bouldering 1 comes with a Two Week Trial Membership for first-time members starting the day of the workshop. This workshop is $25 for members and $50 for non-members.
