If you walk 10,000 steps a day, this beginner-friendly yoga for walkers class is the perfect way to recover, release tension, and keep your goal of walking 10 000 steps a day. This yoga for walking sequence includes walking stretches and walking stretching exercises designed specifically for after you walk. We’ll focus on walking stretches that relieve muscle soreness in your lower body and open your upper body for better posture. This class includes after walking stretches like a walking quad stretch, walking hamstring stretch, walking calf stretch, hip flexor release, glute and IT band stretches, plus simple myofascial release for your feet to care for your plantar fascia.

This walking stretching workout supports the muscles most active during walking while also helping you stand with better posture. Alongside the lower body focus, you’ll open your chest and shoulders to counteract rounding from long walks or daily posture habits. If you’re looking for walker’s stretch to support a 10,000 steps stretching session, or walking yoga for beginners, you’ll find this routine will help with those sore muscles. Practice it after walking to keep your 10, 000 step walking routine sustainable.

In this class, I introduce some MFR (myofascial release) techniques, and inside our membership community I go into much more depth with many more videos to support your connective tissue health.
