Foundation Steps Embedded / Advanced Technique

“This Beginners Walking Taster is brilliant to teach you physically how to walk firstly without the poles, then how to incorporate them into your Nordic walking. What I enjoyed most about Katie’s style of teaching is that it encompasses fully enjoying nature and I found the body checks very mindful and gives you a break from day to day thoughts and routines. The Downs are a beautiful location to do this. There are also many physical benefits such as improving posture and balance. I would highly recommend a beginners taster to anyone if any walking ability and any age.”
