Just a few photos from Laurence Gouault and my workshop a few days ago. Just like to say thanks to every body; Giovanni Danieli for the great photos, Carlo Cosi the guido.

This was a pre climb yoga session in a flower decked meadow before a short uphill walk to a very beautiful cliff. Laurence and her three girls, Anna, Daniela, Giulia all did great and wanted more.

I skipped the yoga session, ran up to the cliff and put topes on six routes. These routes were all great and where chosen for their technical aspects. This wasn't hard as these crags are often like that, highlighting your weak points.

Anyway we had a lot of fun and will go back to San Candido next year for more of the same. I was very pleased to have our work well received but this was as much due to the open minds of our pupils who will definitely go much further with their climbing.

Although I was working, I really enjoyed myself and felt rewarded because the girls showed not only the benefit of the class but communicated their enjoyment and love of climbing itself. This approach to climbing through yoga and breath and mind control seems to be working well.

Anyway all very positive stuff and the Yoga classes in the town were also well attended, it was great to see this approach given its due and very gratifying to see one of the best climbers in Italy really taking some stuff onboard.
