Balance, focus and remaining relaxed are all integral parts of climbing well. Many people practice these aspects of climbing by slacklining, a version of tight rope walking that has become a pursuit in itself.
This week, Matt Chavez, from The Studio in San Jose, will be teaching a slack lining clinic on Sunday from 5 pm to 6 pm at The Studio and then he will be heading to Cesar Chavez Park for more slack line adventures from 6 pm to 8 pm. The clinic will focus on balancing and walking a slack line.
Slacklining is distinct from tightrope walking in that the line is not held rigidly taut (although it is still under some tension); it is instead dynamic, stretching and bouncing like a long and narrow trampoline. It helps greatly with core strength and balance plus, it’s really fun.
Stop by The Studio and check out the awesome clinic!
