Build a Climbing Training Plan that works with your hormones
This workshop is an exploration into how our hormones affect our climbing training and how we can cultivate somatic knowledge that can improve both our understanding of ourselves and our climbing. Through a hands-on and supportive session, you’ll learn how hormonal patterns—across a variety of bodies—play a role in training.
We’ll cover the typical menstrual cycle, the daily male hormonal rhythm, and the fluctuations that are many people’s realities. By understanding this diversity, we can better support ourselves and the people we climb with.
This workshop is run by Tesla Mitchell with 16+ years of experience as both a competitive and outdoor climber.
