Unlike many workout trends, walking yoga really couldn’t be any simpler. Essentially, it involves going for a walk and throwing some yoga moves in for good measure.

“Walking yoga is a fantastic blend of walking and traditional yoga poses, creating a dynamic and engaging practice that can positively impact both body and mind,” says Olga Church, yoga instructor at The Yoga Collective. “Walking yoga is a versatile and beneficial practice that can enhance both physical and mental wellbeing. It’s suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to improve their health and find a sense of balance and peace.”

No yoga experience? No worries. The beauty of the practice is that there are (pretty much) no rules, and no experience is required.

“People might think that walking yoga is about a set sequence of movements that combine walking and yoga, but it’s more of a playful practice with no set structure that can take you in any direction,” says Lotty Campbell Bird, yoga instructor and founder of Collective Fitness. “Walking yoga is a form of yoga that takes us outside and off the mat and combines walking with the mindful movement principles of yoga. It allows you to turn your everyday walk into a form of meditative movement, enabling you to focus on breath, connect with your body sensations and notice your surroundings while you walk.”
