In climbing, the "approach" is the journey that brings you to the crag. In yoga, "asana," a Sanskrit word, means "seat" or "posture" and refers to the yoga poses. Approach to Asana is an ebook written by Jess Malloy and Laura Olinger, both of whom are climbers and certified yoga instructors. Whether you identify more as a climber or as a yogi, this guide will give you tools to build strength, gain flexibility, and move past plateaus. It includes four yoga sequences and a look at how other principles of yoga can be applied to climbing. It breaks down postures so that you can approach them from the perspective of a climber, whether your practice is on the wall or on the mat.

Namaste, climbers.
