What is Nordic Walking?
Nordic Walking began as a summer training exercise for serious "cross country" skiers. Fitness walkers in Europe adopted Nordic Walking as a time-efficient, low-stress, total body workout. Today, approximately 500,000 people in Finland enjoy Nordic Walking regularly, and it is spreading in popularity throughout Scandinavia. Nordic Walking’s popularity is growing with walking clubs and instructors leading classes across the United States.
Are you...
An average recreational walker or hiker? You'll love it because it
creates a new challenge and plenty of variety to spice up your
usual routine.
A procrastinator in starting an exercise program? Nordic Walking is
a BLAST and it will keep you motivated!
Challenged by lack of balance or sore joints? See how much more
stable you are with four feet instead of two! The poles help take
pressure off sore knees and ankles. Your abdominal muscles are
strengthened which also takes pressure off your lower back.
Already a top notch athlete? Nordic Walking can provide a workout
that challenges even the most fit world class athletes.
Then Nordic Walking is for YOU!
NORDIC WALKING BENEFITS: Just a few of the reasons increasing numbers of people are taking up nordic walking:
- Burns up to 40% more calories over regular walking.
- Pumps up your cardio by increasing oxygen consumption up to 25%.
- Provides a full-body workout that tones upper body, legs, and glutes.
- Reduces impact stress on knees and lower joints, and heel strike force by 30%

Many teachings suggest that bringing consciousness to breathing is the link between the conscious and unconscious aspects of our being. The body-mind connection. That this action (of conscious breathing, combined with walking) is of great physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefit to the individual.
Revitalize body, mind and spirit by focusing on walking and breathing
What: Breathing is a force, a tool for health, growth, and change.
Who: Conscious breathing practices, walking and meditation /relaxation into specific exercise patterns that create vitality.
Where: Laurelhurst Park SE Portland
