Walking can boost our vitality and support our well-being and resiliency. When we both balance our body alignment and bring our attention to how we take our steps, walking can release held tension as we tone our whole body.
In this fitness-for-walking series you will discover how to increase your overall fitness and get more benefit from every step. This 3-class series includes:
- exercises for loosening accumulated tension
- movement designed to balance postural alignment
- strengthening exercises that develop core and overall muscle tone by recycling forces of gravity
- stretching that allows breath and gravity to do the work
- coordinated whole body movement to put spring back in your step
We begin each class in the studio applying principles from Aston® Fitness to release tension, balance alignment, and evenly tone muscles, then apply our postural changes to walking outdoors. Please wear walking shoes and clothing comfortable for movement and bring a yoga mat and bath size towel to class. Note: Exercises will be standing, sitting and lying on mats.
