A 2k to 3k gentle WALX that incorporates balance work, flexibility and strength exercises and maybe a bit of yoga or relaxation too. On Monday these walks take place around Stanmore and Harrow Weald on mainly flat terrain but we do go on trails through the woods so that we can enjoy the changes in nature throughout the year. This is a very friendly group and we are always ready to welcome new walkers who want to get back into exercise in a safe and gradual way.

Starting in April 2025 there is also the option to sign up for the 6 week Total Body Walking Programme in the beautiful Canons Park in Stanmore which is being supported by TfL and Friends of Canons Park. This programme runs on Tuesdays and Sundays at 11am.

Start your Sunday with our unique Yoga WALX, a gentle walk and mindful experience that fuses walking with Hatha yoga and relaxation. This session is the perfect way to work on your core strength, flexibility, and balance. We incorporate standing yoga poses and movements, all modified so that walking poles can be used for support.

The walk offers an opportunity to engage in a mindful practice, where we focus on the breath, body, and surroundings. It's a wonderful introduction for newcomers to yoga and a chance for seasoned yogis to practice in the great outdoors.

Walk time of 1 hour.

Walkers are requested to arrive at the venue 10 minutes before the start time to allow for parking, shoe change, pole adjustment etc, so that the walk can start promptly at the time indicated.
