Walk Description:

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.

Please ensure your PARQ is up to date and notify us if you have any change to your physical or mental wellbeing. This should include any surgery, injuries or accidents.

Walk Description:

From the main Eartham Woods car park, we will walk one of the many varied woodland walks available in Eartham Woods: expect some ups and downs along the way with a wonderful variety of trees and, depending on our route, some open downland views.

Walking Levels Explained

Easy – Up to 2.5 to 3 mph 

Ideal for casual walkers who enjoy conversation along the way. These walks are mostly flat, and any hills will be tackled slowly and gently.

Moderate – 3 to 3.5 mph

A steady pace that may lead to slightly heavier breathing, particularly on inclines. Suitable for those looking for a bit more of a workout.

Challenging – 3.5 to 4 mph

Suited for experienced walkers who enjoy pushing their pace. These walks may include longer durations (2+ hours), steeper inclines/declines, or uneven terrain. Though challenging, there will be moments to catch your breath, usually on flat or downhill sections.

Note: We never leave anyone behind. The walk leader makes sure everyone is looked after.
