Each Orientation to Somatic Climbing course is 2.5-hours long which balances getting to know each other organically, climbing in community, and off-and-on-the-wall learning in somatic climbing theory and climbing. For all body types, this course is designed to support beginning participants who may choose to stay on the ground, climb 2-feet, 6- feet, or as much as 12-18 feet off the ground. Following a proper warm-up, participants will be invited to move their bodies up to the challenge of their choice. The aim of this class is to give beginners the confidence to climb on their own and to learn basic somatic skills that can be applied both on and off the wall.
