Shannon will lead a segment using therapy balls to release jaw and neck tension. Then Sherrena will guide a facial yoga practice which will include two different types of exercises: poses that wake up sleeping muscles to lift the face and poses that relax over-worked muscles or tension.

Have fun challenging yourself! This super fun event is a collaboration between Paddle & Climb and Open Way Yoga. Climbing is excellent for upper body strength and pulling up on the hand holds is a movement pattern that tends to be missing from yoga - it is necessary for optimal mobility. We will meet at 6:00 PM at Paddle & Climb where we will spend about an hour taking turns climbing on the climbing wall. After climbing, we will travel a couple blocks to the OWY Sandusky studio for an upper-body focused yoga practice including some shoulder releasing practices with therapy balls.
Climbing and yoga beginners welcome! You don’t need to already be able to climb to participate, the experts at Paddle & Climb will be there to help.
