Walking Workshop

Precision Martial Arts | 255 SW Madison Avenue, Corvallis, OR 97333 | Sliding Scale

You’ve changed your shoes, but how about the way you move?

The way we walk influences how and where stress is distributed through the body on a daily basis. If you have pain in your feet, knees, and hips, you’ve likely tried several different shoes. Changing what you wear on your feet can help, but it’s only the beginning. When we change our movement habits, we can reduce pain and walk softly on the earth.

In this workshop, you’ll be guided through a sequential process to relearn the dynamics of walking. This includes swinging the leg from a relaxed core, allowing the foot to land on the softer pads, using gravity and rebound to produce momentum, and being drawn forward by an open, curious heart.

Put all this together and walking can generate energy, lubricate joints, and improve coordination. Once you get the hang of these new movement patterns, walking may just become one of your favorite forms of exercise. Or maybe it's not even exercise anymore. It's pure enjoyment in motion.
