Pilates is meant to be wicked for core-strengh too. The mental aspects of Yoga (though I've never tried them) must surely be good for preparing for problems too?

but at the moment i'd rather climb
the thing with yoga is that it's advertised as a 'sport' when it was originally a form of meditation. i've been told on good authority that it shud be kept that way because it teaches you to shut down your nervous system which is okay for meditation but it ain't gonna make u climb harder.
it's exactly the same argument as saying martial arts is good for climbing, what a load of bollocks.
all the climbers that i've met from around the world who swear by yoga n talk the talk are lacking.
