Resoling climbing shoes

Climbing shoes are getting pretty darn expensive so I thought I’d share my thoughts on resoling:

- it’s much cheaper then getting a new pair!
- the quality of the a resole is brilliant! As you can see in the pictures above there is a nice quality edge on the shoe again
- the shoe becomes a bit tighter after a resole (which is great because I find they tend to get a little baggy once they’ve worn through)
- you can pick which rubber you want on your resole
- fast turn around. I got mine back in less then two weeks
- most importantly you don’t have to go through the agony of breaking in a new shoe 😅

What are your thoughts on resoling? Have you tried it?

Endurance training in a bouldering gym

It’s so easy to get on your projects every session when you hit the bouldering gym, but if your climbing multiple days a week then endurance is crucial in helping aid recovery and gives you a chance to refine techniques and get plenty of movement in one session

- drop your grade to a comfortable level
- don’t get too pumped, a light pump in the forearms is ok as long as it’s maintained
- don’t rest for long. Move between boulders and jump on the next one as soon as you can
- aim for around 5-10 minutes of consistent exercise and rest for the same amount of time
- 3 sets in total

*if a circuit board is available then even better, as it will take out the rest time walking between boulders
*get creative and make a traverse on the bouldering wall - make sure it’s not too hard though and there’s no crux

Meditation isn’t easy. It isn’t sitting in silence and coming out feeling refreshed.
It’s actually the opposite. It’s sitting in discomfort. Letting the intrusive thoughts float in. Giving them room to exist. Allowing your mind to go to wherever, and work through whatever you need to work through. This in turn allows your time outside of meditation to be more productive and therefore feel like you have more clarity in situations.
We love meditation 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

Our Story

Boja Yoga is run by Kat and Naf, Yoga teachers in Manchester. Boja means "living a life of enjoyment" We are very active people with active jobs and active hobbies. We implement yoga into everything we do and we want to share that knowledge. As avid climbers, yoga has helped us build flexibility and balance but also the ability to keep cool on the wall and stay present throughout each climb. Naf also teaches Axe Throwing and often uses yoga postures and breathing to improve peoples technique and accuracy. Kat also teaches Aerial Circus Arts and Gym classes where yoga helps to fix any muscular imbalances, increase flexibility and develop body awareness. We both teach classes in Manchester, from gyms, climbing centres to office spaces.
