Hi Reader,

There’s something about June that draws us back outside.

The fresh air.
The sounds of the birds early in the morning.
The feeling of walking through your neighbourhood and noticing what’s starting to bloom again.

And sometimes, we simply need another reason to get outdoors.

That’s why I’m so excited to share that Take Your Walk to the Next Level: An Introduction to Nordic Walking begins this week here in Edmonton.

Over three Wednesday sessions (June 3, 10, and 17), I’ll teach you how Nordic walking can completely change the feeling of your walk.

Most people look at poles and assume they’re simply a walking aid.

But from a movement perspective, Nordic walking is actually about amplifying your walking. It creates a more dynamic, whole-body walking experience.

When you learn how to use the poles effectively, your entire walking pattern begins to change. People often notice improved stability, longer stride length, increased rhythm, and more confidence moving outdoors. Instead of simply walking through your environment, you begin interacting with it differently.

And honestly, this fits beautifully with what we’re doing inside The MedFit Movement Studio this June.

This month, our community is participating in 26 Ways to Move Through June — a movement challenge designed around small, approachable movement moments throughout the month.

Many of the movement moments pair perfectly with Nordic walking: walking outdoors, exploring new routes, moving socially, connecting with nature, and building movement into everyday life in sustainable ways.

Because movement doesn’t need to be dramatic to matter.

One walk still counts.
One movement moment still counts.
One small step still counts.

And if you’ve taken the Nordic walking workshop before and are thinking, “I should really start using my poles again…” — hit reply to this email. I’d love to hear from you.

Every season invites a different kind of movement.

Maybe this June is your season to step outside again.

Stay well and happy moving,

Lisa

P.S. Nordic walking is even more fun with other people. If you have a friend who’s interested in joining but doesn’t own poles yet, I do have a limited number of loaner poles available for the workshop series
