- 38 Chinese yoga enthusiasts performed yoga on steel wires at a steep cliff in Central China
- They joined the beautiful steep mountain by a climbing technique called Via Farreta
Yoga has a reputation of being quiet and peaceful.
These 38 ladies took it to the next level and hung on steel wires and performed yoga on a 188 metre (617 feet) on a cliff face of Qingyao mountain in China’s central Henan province.
Last week Saturday, they joined this beautiful sheer mountain by a technique called Via Farreta, which is a rock climbing term that literally means ‘iron path’.
It refers to protected mountain climbing routes consisting of cables, rungs, steps, bridges, and ladders, which allows climbers to face otherwise dangerous – but incredibly scenic – routes.
These spectacular photos and stunning video capture the thrilling and stomach churning moments that these fanatics showcased on the cliff that’s famously named ‘the first climb in China’s central plains’.
