Join us for two days of climbing and yoga at the New River Gorge National Park. Yoga sessions will be led by Erin Larsen and rock climbing instruction by Elaina Arenz.
​

Erin is a Fayetteville local who has traveled far and wide to climb as well as learn yoga from the best instructors. She's a certified yoga teacher in multiple modalities and a Thai Yoga Bodyworker, amassing over 1000 hours in training. She has been climbing and practicing yoga since the early 2000s. 

​

Elaina is an AMGA Rock Guide with 29 years of climbing experience to share with you. She's traveled the world in search of the perfect climb but keeps returning to the New River Gorge because of its scenic beauty and amazing climbing opportunities.

​

Erin and Elaina have been working together for over 10 years to provide you with the best experience. Yoga and climbing complement each other and will help improve your range of motion, flexibility, strength, balance, and mindfulness, on and off the rock. The New River Gorge National Park is the perfect setting to blend these two activities into one unforgettable experience.
