Walking Group
Saturdays 10am.
As well as Yoga & Pilates classes, Yoga Bee has a Walking Group that meets approximately every 6 weeks. Each walk is in a different location – sometimes local to Birdwell where Yoga Bee is based, sometimes a bit further afield but usually within a 45-minute drive.
Enjoy the many benefits of walking in a group…
Physical
Walking is a simple, low-impact activity that’s free and available to everyone, of any age or fitness level.
Walking can help:
- Improve & maintain overall health
- Maintain healthy weight
- Improve cardiovascular fitness
- Strengthen your bones & muscles
- Support joints
- Lower blood pressure
- Boost circulation
Mental
Walking has been shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety & depression, improve mood & boost self-esteem. Being outdoors in nature gives you a sense of well-being and just makes you feel good. And exploring new places every time makes walking more interesting & enjoyable.
Social
Walking in a group is a fun and sociable way to get active where you can meet new people & build friendships. As well as the sense of community, walking in a group gives you accountability and motivation. You’re more likely to put your boots on and get out there if you’ve arranged to walk with a group. Furthermore, you have the support, encouragement, reassurance & safety of other walkers.
Nature
Connecting with nature can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure and boost your immune function. Enjoying & exploring the beautiful countryside around us helps to increase endorphins – the feel-good hormones – that boost our mood and reduce stress.
Yoga Bee Walking Group is open to everyone and it’s free. If you’d like to join us anytime, please contact Melissa at Yoga Bee on 07703 807027.
