Walking Workshop: 24th August 2024
Walking is a foundational human movement. Join me for a deep dive into walking and how we can make it more efficient and beneficial for all of our parts from toes through bones to shoulders.
August 24th 10.30 am to 3.30 pm at Oak Tree Gallery, Helensburgh
In Person Workshop
Walking uses most areas in the body; feet, legs, hips, core and arms. However, since most of us have stiff parts of the body from spending much of our day still in chairs, we are not able to move all our parts with ease and end up overusing some parts of the body and underusing others. In this way, walking can become a problem for sore feet, knees, low backs and weaker pelvic floors.
Location: Oak Tree Gallery, Helensburgh
In this workshop you will learn how to :
Mobilise the stiffest parts of your hips, feet and ankles that can limit walking efficiency
Specifically strengthen your most powerful walking muscles
Support your low back, knees and pelvic floor during challenging hikes
Approach uphill, downhill and flat & level walking
Align your body for optimal bone strengthening while walking
Use your upper body for stronger walking
We will have two 90 minute studio sessions with an instructed outdoor walk and lunch break in between.
