YANGON - First there was beer and paddleboard yoga. Then someone added goats to the mix. Now fitness buffs in Myanmar are taking the latest body-bending trend to whole new heights - pulling off yoga poses on a climbing wall.
Khin Myat Thu Zar zips up to the top of a wall at a newly opened climbing center in Yangon with ease. But her climb isn't finished yet.
With the support of a rope partner, she flips upside down, her feet gripping two climbing wall holds in an inverted split that would make the couch potatoes of the world wince at just the thought.
