Overview of Climbing and Yoga Holiday at La Source
If you like rock climbing, but want more than just that from you holiday, then this is the place to come. Under the careful watch of some of the best guides in Europe you will enjoy real progress on the rock. With the yoga for climbing program offered with these camps, you will gain focus, balance and mental and physical strength.
You’ll be staying in a designer sustainable, low energy renovated farm, eating balanced organic vegetarian food. Your hosts are TV presenter and ex-pro climber Duncan McCallum and yogini and personal development coach, Saskia Anley. After an hour of yoga and a wholesome breakfast, you’ll spend 5 full days rock climbing at different crags; learning how to improve your climbing. There is one rest day where you can take advantage of the hiking, white water rafting, parapenting or simply rest!
We split our camps into an advanced and a beginners to leading camp. They run simultaneously and we have a coach/instructor for each group.
