Walk Yourself Well
1-2-1 specialist approach
With individual focus the Nordic Walking approach is used to give you an experiential guide to right functioning in this fundamental human movement. The poles guide you to adopt correct stride and push off, rotation and arm swing and bring your awareness to the balance and motion of this intelligent human system. If we walk well, body parts and functions integrate in their mutually supportive blue print design, aiding such things as breathing, digestion, posture, mental health. You will learn what your body may have forgotten in this primal movement. Yogic elements may also be used to help bring the body to its balanced walking stance.
Nordic Walking Sport Fitness
Dont be fooled that Nordic Walking is only for seniors who need a walking stick! Trail runners are known for their accompanying Nordic Poles and with 80% of your muscles used in Nordic Walking, there is much form and fitness to be gained.
Experimenting with the Nordic Walking technique is recommended as a foundational practice to any sport. The pace and range of movement allows the fundamentals of right posture and function to be self assessed and corrected, leading to improved performance in your personal sports and fitness pathways.

Important points to note:
You need to have taken at least 1 beginner workshop to be able to book onto a group walk.
Nordic Walking is appropriate to almost any level of fitness, you just need to be able to walk unaided and swing your arms freely.
Dress for the weather preferably with flexible / loose appropriate trousers (eg not jeans) & foot wear for ‘off road’ terrain (eg trainers). We don’t walk in a storm but otherwise we are out there!!
