SUMMARY:Nordic Walking: 4-Week Workshop with Camille
DESCRIPTION:Discover a fresh way to move outdoors! Nordic walking is a dynamic\, full-body activity that uses specially designed poles to engage your arms\, shoulders\, core\, and back—turning a simple walk into an energizing and efficient workout. \nWith each stride\, you’ll build strength\, improve balance and mobility\, and gently elevate your heart rate. Compared with regular walking\, Nordic walking can help improve endurance and overall fitness while remaining accessible and low-impact. \nEach session will begin indoors at Iona with instruction and gentle stretching before heading outside for a mindful\, rhythmic walk through the neighborhood. We’ll then return to the Iona space to unwind with gentle stretching and relaxation. \nJoin Camille for this uplifting combination of movement\, fresh air\, and mindful exercise. Poles will be provided\, or you’re welcome to bring your own. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. \nParticipants should be able to walk approximately two miles. \nThis 4-week workshop will meet from 1:30–3:30pm on the following Wednesdays: \n\nSeptember 2\nSeptember 9\nSeptember 16\nSeptember 30\n\nPlease note: There will be no class on Wednesday\, September 23. \nSpace is limited\, and registration is required.
