Yoga Walks are a mindful movement practice in nature, requiring no mats or equipment. They blend gentle poses, breathwork and walking meditation to cultivate awareness and presence. 

We offer free Yoga Walks in multiple areas across Sydney so please check the location carefully: Yoga Walks on Country take place in Watsons Bay and Yoga Walks take place in Centennial Park and Woolloomooloo.

Each Yoga Walk is unique, based on participants’ experience and ability, along with the season and current weather conditions, with the intention to support individual awareness and greater ease of self-regulation, in relation to to inner and outer conditions. 

No prior experience of yoga is necessary, as each walk is adapted to the individual needs of walk participants. If participants have mobility issues, walks can be adapted to meet their needs: Yoga Walks are designed to be inclusive of all, and ideal for seniors.  We take small groups of up to 10 people only.

With the huge rise in time spent indoors and associated hours devoted to screen time, numerous studies * show the health benefits of time spent outdoors. 
Yoga Walk participants may experience a sense of deeper connection with themselves and the communities they belong to. 


”Research has shown that access to green spaces, nature-based wellbeing interventions, or a walk in a nature setting, all led to increments in positive affect and better mental health. This has led to the use of the phrase ‘Vitamin G’ (G for green) that captures the beneficial role of natural and green environments in regular doses.” Natural Benefits, Australian Psychological Society

First Nations people consider Country not as a physical environment but as “a deeply symbolic and spiritual place” (Australian Indigenous Health Info). You can read more here.

A sensory experience, externally and internally

Yoga Walks are essentially a pratyahara practice - initially expanding the 5 senses outwards before gradually drawing them inwards through awareness practices. 

The 5th of the 8 limbs of yoga, pratyahara is the often overlooked ‘bridge’ between the externally focused aspects of yoga practice, and the more internal practices of dharana - focus, dhyana - concentration and samadhi - meditation. Paradoxically, consciously widening our sensory perception, can support our ability to direct our senses inwards and gradually cultivate a mind capable of clarity.
